  • When we think about our communication at work, we tend to focus on our presentations and meeting contributions that we know we should spend time preparing and practicing for.

  • But if you think about it, most of our professional communication is spontaneous in nature.

  • It's providing feedback in the moment, answering questions, introducing people.

  • These spur of the moment communication events can be as important, if not even more important, than our planned high stakes communications.

  • For most people, these impromptu situations are quite challenging.

  • I am thrilled to invite two experts and good friends here today to talk about how we can become more comfortable and confident in these spur of the moment situations.
