Description

When you are under pressure, can you communicate with clarity? In business, community affairs, at home...learn to think --and speak--on your feet, to respond appropriately and confidently every time. Using proven strategies, on- target tactics, and practical examples, this book will help you improve your end of any conversation. You'll discover how to answer impressively, even if you don't know the answer; polish your delivery so you can tackle tough questions head on; say, 'It's none of your business in socially acceptable terms; reply, 'I don't know' and still be convincing; develop good conversations even with difficult people. If you have ever been caught off guard in a meeting, stumped by a query in a sales call, suffered an embarrassing silence in a job interview, or thought of the perfect rejoinder-- after the conversation, help is here in 'Thinking On Your Feet.' What you need to know is featured in a new Quick Guide. Job interviewing, gender communications, Q & A, and opportunities to say a few words are examined, with precise tactics and lively before-and-after examples. Read more

    • This book allows a framework to do what it says.
Practical advice that I wished I had decades ago.

Loved the book! Excellent frank examples. I especially enjoyed the interaction examples between teens and their parents. Also exchanges between parents and teachers. As a former teacher I felt this author was "RIGHT ON!"

    • Average Rating
The book is okay to read. It has some useful ideas how to prepare for impromptu speeches. The book can guide you through the process of communicating under pressure, but most of the creative thinking is going to have to come from the individual.

    • Simple and Practical
This book contains simple and practical tips on how to carry on a conversation, how answer questions in various situations, and how to give a positive self-introduction. The 2nd edition has been sitting on my bookshelf for a decade. Every once in a while I'd want to get rid of it. I'd pick it up, read a couple of chapters, decide that I am still learning from it -- and then back it goes on the shelf. ... show more

    • Very elementary and not much info here
I found this book to be very limited in regard to content. I was looking for more advanced techniques, or at least a more detailed study of actual methods for accomplishing what the title advertises. The author could have presented the main points of this book on a few pages and saved us all the time required to read the filler material. Just about any book you pick up about public speaking or personal communication contains the advice found here. "Repeat the question - It gives you a few more seconds to think about your answer" is about as advanced as the info in this book gets. ... show more

This book is fine. However, the process in getting the book was horrible. I was done with my thesis defense by the time I got the book then you want me pay again. It took forever to get the book.....bad business. This was totally unacceptable.

    • Same Book?
Wow, after reading the other reviews I'm not sure we're talking about the same book. First of all, I'd call this book more of a pamphlet. It's 117 pages in length that actually starts on page 15 with the introduction. There were 8 blank pages between chapters and the print was quite large. A book of 95 net pages that I, being a slow reader, easily read in less than 45 minutes is hardly what I would call a "book". I purchased through Toastmasters International (sorry Amazon!) for an award presentation and I'm just too embarrassed to hand it to the recipient. The content was just OK. I am convinced that there are many better reads on the subject. ... show more
