  Program Overview
  Speaking under pressure and thinking on one's feet describe someone's ability to quickly organize thoughts and convey them meaningfully to an audience. The terms may be applied to people making formal speeches or taking part in everyday business situations. This program provides participants with some new techniques that will give them the persuasive edge when they are making a presentation, fielding difficult questions, or presenting complex information.
  
  The following outline highlights some of the course's key learning points. As part of your training program, we will modify content as needed to meet your business objectives. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of the participant materials prior to the session(s).
