    About this ebook

    If you always wanted to easily speak of the cuff this little book is for you.

    Thousands of DESCUBRIS' workshop participants have successfully implemented the techniques in this book. You too can learn to give a great impromptu speech without preparation.

    Those moments when you get called upon to say something and you are tongue tied are embarrassing. Some stand there stuttering, have sweaty hands and have a pulse rate of 200. This can be avoided. This little book gives you clear how-to-instructions.

    Thomas Skipwith has won the Swiss and European championships of impromptu speaking several times, both in English and German. He successfully uses the do's and don'ts in this book himself. Studying public speaking for the last 20 years has made him an expert in this field.

      The Little Book of Speaking Off the Cuff. Impromptu Speaking -- Speak Unprepared Without Fear! - Thomas Skipwith

      Jeger-Daiber.

      Foreword

      Has this happened to you before? You participate in a meeting. The boss is looking for a volunteer. He is supposed to report from the meeting with the client. Nobody in the team is prepared. Nobody says anything. The first thought that comes to your mind: I hope he doesn’t pick me. Then the boss picks someone else. Your second thought is: I feel sorry for the guy. Your third thought is: He, he, let’s see how he does.

      Let humor aside: To speak without preparation is tough for many of us. If next time you want to give an impromptu speech that will dazzle your audience, then all you need to do is apply one of the many techniques in this little book. In addition, there are a lot of additional valuable tips. Some of the tips are also useful for those who have no trouble speaking off the cuff.

      Prepared vs. Unprepared

      Rest assured - it occurs only very rarely that you really need to give an unprepared, impromptu speech. A speech in which you
