Thinking On Your Feet

How to Answer Questions on the Spot and Shine in Conversation

A Handbook for Lawyers and Other Professionals

You’re in a meeting and someone asks you a question. It’s in your wheelhouse, you know the answer, but stumble through your response. “Umm, uhh, well…” In fact, it feels like no matter how much you prepare, you never sound as smart and articulate as you’d like. 

In Thinking On Your Feet, former lawyer and public speaking coach Chris Graham offers a practical framework for getting better on the spot. You’ll learn simple tools for giving clear, thoughtful responses to unexpected questions, plus ways to buy time to organize your thoughts. You'll also learn how to deal with a difficult or distracted audience and how to tame your fear of filler words.

These are the same techniques Chris has shared with more than 20,000 professionals across North America, all brought to life through his research, reflection, and storytelling.
