ABOUT THE BOOK
 
The majority of the time, we are all affected by the same thing, which is that we are susceptible to being tricked by randomness. As a result, we tend to minimize the role that luck and chance play in our lives. We employ terms like "skills" and "determinism" when "luck" and "randomness" are required. This gap is nowhere else more evident than in the stock market, where the term "able investor" should typically be substituted with "fortunate fool." There is no other area where this divergence is more apparent.

Jen Oleniczak Brown

“[Think on Your Feet] is a helpful maven’s guide ideal for anyone who views a podium with fear and trembling.”-Publishers Weekly

Get out of your own way!

Our professional lives are full of situations outside of our control. A job interviewer asks a question out of left field. A coworker puts you on the spot in front of the boss. Your PowerPoint presentation crashes at a critical moment.

Most people react to the unexpected with anxiety and unease. We get rattled, stumble over our words, and overthink the situation. Others, though, handle it with self-assurance and aplomb. They gain a sense of empowerment and energy when the pressure is on.

Like great improv actors, they’re able to think on their feet.

The great thing is, improv isn’t about winging it or flying by the seat of your pants; improv at its core is about listening and responding. It’s based on rules and techniques, and it taps directly into your soft communication skills. By incorporating it into your prep work for professional situations, you’ll learn how to retrain your brain for the unexpected and get out of your own way in those unexpected-and expected-professional situations. Practicing improv isn’t about being funny. Instead, it’s about developing the mental agility to spin any surprise in your favor and to communicate with confidence.

Filled with engaging improv activities, this interactive guide will ensure you never come away from a tough moment pondering the woulda, coulda, shoulda! again. You’ll learn how to nurture your personal style for communicating in every professional situation. From effective listening in the office, giving presentations, and leading meetings to negotiating a raise, acing an interview, and more, you’ll start communicating with confidence and stop letting the unexpected hold you back. Take your workplace communication-and your career-to the next level by mastering the art of Thinking on Your Feet.
