Before You Say Another Word: Thinking on Your Feet In Moments That Matter Minionis, Dave, PhD

IT'S AN UNSCRIPTED WORLD




How many times have we been put on the spot and then come away thinking, "If only I said this. If only I said that." It could've been in any situation - with your boss, a passing acquaintance, while in a meeting, during your presentation's Q& A, or even talking with your spouse. We feel like kicking ourselves. Walking away. Licking our wounds. Thinking about the opportunity that just passed us by.




Wouldn't it be nice to master the skill of thinking on our feet? Not blindly reacting or going blank but responding in a calm, intelligent, and smart manner. And wouldn't it be great to believe we can deal with pretty much anything thrown our way?




We all deserve to be that person. BEFORE YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD is packed with the tools, ideas, and words of wisdom for being more appropriate, articulate, credible, and even more persuasive, especially in those moments that matter most.




- Be fearless in the face of a curveball comment or an incoming verbal assault.

- Develop a style for staying calm in the moment, especially when emotions run high.

- Articulate your thoughts so your knowledge and intelligence are on display.

- Respond with poise and confidence even in the most difficult situations.




This is a book you'll turn to again and again for just that right advice.
