Course objectives
Clear speaking is clear thinking. By focusing on an individual’s ability to think quickly and clearly, “Think on Your Feet®” dramatically improves oral communication skills.
Benefits of Attending
- Have you been asked to summarise a technical report into a 3-min concise and brief verbal update during a meeting?
- Have you been in a situation where you needed to answer important questions on the spot and you were not able to find the right words or the right structure to present it well?
- Have you had problems getting your ideas across to your peers and your superiors in a structured way when it mattered most?
In today’s fast-paced business environment characterized by information overload and high opportunity costs for time, getting your ideas across clearly, concisely and persuasively – even if you have little or no time to prepare – is a skill financial professionals can’t do without. “Think on Your Feet®” will equip you with these skills that are a must as finance professionals: clarity, brevity and impact in communicating your ideas.
The “Think on Your Feet®” program has achieved worldwide recognition as one of the most original and useful communication workshops taught today. It has been conducted throughout the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. “Think on Your Feet® for Finance Professionals” is a powerful adaptation specially designed for finance professionals who have to communicate financial facts and figures. It is based on a highly interactive program that teaches the art and science of conveying convincing, confident and memorable ideas. It provides recipes for reasoning to dramatically improve oral communication skills, particularly the ability to handle questions, contribute to meetings and prepare tailored talks.
By the end of this program, you will:
- Be clear, convincing and memorable when speaking to management, clients, peers and other stakeholders
