The course was informative, but also fun and engaging. I am not someone who enjoys off the cuff presentations but this helped me be much more comfortable. The different types of practice helped to ease stress and allowed me to be ok with making mistakes. Heather made the course enjoyable and inviting. Her topics and approach were relatable. I would recommend this course to anyone who is delivering important messages quickly. Anyone who is in an environment that requires immediate responses or feedback. It is also very useful when we receive challenging questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The course was amazing. It is so useful…I loved how much we were able to practice and the feedback from the facilitator. One of the best courses I have taken in a long time.

I attended this workshop quite a number of years ago. It is the most useful workshop that has a long-lasting impact on my life. Whenever I am stuck with a speech, an email, or a write-up, some tips that I learnt from the workshop would pop up in my mind to help. I have been reading the email newsletters for years as well. They refresh my memory of the techniques with simple and practical examples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

I attended a company-sponsored 2 day workshop for Think on Your Feet several years ago and apply what I learnt to this day. The workshop is a great mix of fantastic content and easy to apply plans in day-to-day interactions. Above all, it provides ample time to practice, practice and practice! This time is seamlessly stitched into the entire workshop model striking a wonderful balance between learning and implementation. My biggest takeaway is that, at the end of the course, you not just have the tools to communicate effectively, but have also applied them in multiple scenarios and built proficiency in doing so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Think on Your Feet\u00ae has quite literally been one of the most useful workshops I have ever taken. I am so thankful to have been trained in this program so early in my career as it has given me the tools needed to communicate effectively in any situation. In fact, I landed my “dream job” thanks to the techniques I used from TF in my interview. My (now) director has told me that out of the other applicants, my interview stood out because I was clear, coherent and got to the point quickly. Think on Your Feet\u00ae really, really works!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

I took the \u201cThink on Your Feet\u201d workshop several years ago, and remember thinking then, that it was the first workshop where I would immediately (and easily!) be able to put to use the tools we were given. The plans are concise and easily adaptable to any organization or culture. I have relied on them so consistently over the years that I hardly notice I am using them anymore – they have become so ingrained in my approach. The monthly tips are an added bonus, providing contextual examples to realistic scenarios. I keep them in a notes folder in my icloud, and refer to them often when I am explaining a TOYF plan to a coworker. I urge anyone hesitating to sign up for a workshop to take the plunge. I did, and have never regretted my decision – it was one of the biggest ROI in my career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
