Impromptu Speeches

Ever been asked if you could say a few words at a special occasion, dinner party, family reunion, nominations ceremonies, student certifications, funerals or a work meeting? And you haven’t been given any prior warning! You’re completely unprepared and possibly you’re in a state of uneasiness about not having the opportunity to prepare what you are about to say? It could also be a situation where it is indeed an important occasion, which further adds to the intensity of stress for you. Perhaps... they asked you to speak to the group because they know that you speak for a living! After all, you’re a Neuro-Semantic Trainer with experience and training in presenting to small and large groups – right?

What do you do? What will successfully get you through this moment without you embarrassing yourself and possibly the person who asked you to speak? Even better, how can you use this moment to further present yourself as a professional confident speaker, trainer, manager or leader?
