 tion and free-speaking exercises as methods to train speakers to stay focus
 ed and structured when giving spontaneous talks and handling an audience Q&
 A. The seminar will help participants to communicate confidently in various
  semi-formal contexts in order to gain confidence in impromptu public speak
 ing with practical tips and exercises. Participants develop strategies for 
 engaging listeners and tailoring information to the audience in semi-formal
  role-play settings such as site visits, conferences, panels and social eve
 nts. Playful and practical techniques encourage presenters to step out of t
 heir comfort zone and to maintain authority and become more self-reliant wh
 en speaking extemporaneously.\n\nContent Outline:\n\nExercises are used thr

 on techniques to help speakers maintain focus and composure when thinking o

 to train their quick-thinking skills, in order to stay focused, and to enga
 ge an audience in their topic. The training ends with an exploration of bes
