***********This one's a little different.
You don't need to bring a question. You don't need to prepare anything. Just show up!

For this special session, I'll provide all the questions. 😎

We'll still use our regular Think Fast, Speak Clear format: one person responds in real time while another listens closely and reflects back what they heard.

The questions will range from light and unexpected to thoughtful and occasionally challenging. You won't know what's coming until I ask.

No perfect answers required.
Just think, listen, respond, and see where the conversation goes.

Be sure to sign up because this one is capped at 20 RSVPs!

Impromptu Speaking + Active Listening Lab

Speak on the spot and listen well. No more polite nodding and blank stares. Lead the conversation.

This is a Zoom practice group for anyone who wants to get better at thinking on their feet, speaking clearly, and actually listening.
This is great for interviews, meetings, leadership, or anyone who freezes when put on the spot.

Format is simple:

  • 1 speaker answers a prompt (1–2 minutes) *Bring your own prompts to the session.
  • 1 listener repeats back what they heard (30–60 seconds: main point, key detail, interesting words/phrases.)
  • Rotate and repeat *We’ll use random selection so everyone gets a fair shot.

No evaluations. No lectures. No pressure. No debates. Just active listening and repeat-back.

Why this lab?

- Build real confidence speaking on the spot
- Think on your feet and answer more clearly
- Practice active listening you can't fake
- Get better at responding in real conversations
- Less rambling, more clarity
- Cross paths with new people
- Low-pressure environment

The Lab Mindset:
- Think for yourself
- Stay curious
- Let go of perfect
- Trust your own voice

This is practice, not performance. Come as you are.
