An estimated 85% of people suffer from a fear of public speaking, and being called upon to speak spontaneously is a nightmare-inducing scenario for many. Presenting at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, communications lecturer Matt Abrahams shares several strategies to help you speak effectively off the cuff. With fun and games, he encourages his audience to embrace occasions to speak ad hoc as opportunities to shine. While his tips may not cure you of your anxiety, they will take the edge off the fear.

Take-Aways

  • To communicate effectively off the cuff, you first need to rein in your anxiety.
