Giving formal presentations can be stressful. But there's another type of communication that is far more crucial to our success: those spur-of-the-moment, critical situations when we have to contribute without a script. A high-pressure discussion at work, a job interview, small talk at a networking event, or giving a heart-warming toast. All these scenarios strike fear into even the most self-assured. So, how can we learn to be more inspirational, more confident and more eloquent in the moment? In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams - Stanford University lecturer and creator of the number one business podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart - provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to cut through the anxiety and deliver crisp, compelling and fast communication. Packed with helpful tips and exercises, Think Faster, Talk Smarter will ensure your next big moment in the spotlight is one of your best.
