Pink
Cow Conspiracy 49: Think
on Your Feet
Please
welcome speaker : Adrienne Gilliver, Training &
Development Manager at 7 Seas Co., Ltd.
Comapny
and Speaker Profile:
Think
on Your Feet is a workshop that trains people to think
& speak
with clarity, brevity and with impact. It was developed
by a
distinguished Canadian Dr. Keith Spicer and is now regarded
as a
platform on which to build speaking, presentation and
negotiation
skills. Spicer said "This workshop stems from a
simple idea: you can't
talk (or write) straight unless you can think straight.
And clear,
coherent thinking demands not so much genius as structure".
Adrienne will give an overview Think on Your Feet and
participants
will get chance to try out of one part of workshop.
