The methodology
What is Think on Your Feet®?
A structured-thinking methodology that helps professionals organise ideas instantly and speak with clarity, brevity and impact — even without preparation time.
The problem it solves
Most people can think clearly when they have time to prepare. Few can do it on the spot - in a meeting that takes an unexpected turn, a client call that goes off-script, or a question from a Minister or board member that demands an immediate, structured answer.
Think on Your Feet® closes that gap. It gives you a toolkit of 10 practical formulas - each suited to a different type of spontaneous communication challenge - so you always have a structure ready, whatever the situation.
What it is - and what it very deliberately isn't
Not a presentation skills course
- Not about slide design or public-speaking confidence
- Not for planned, rehearsed talks you've had weeks to prepare
- Not generic advice like "be more confident" or "speak slower"
- Not a one-off inspirational day with nothing to take back to your desk
- Not about memorising scripts or rehearsing set responses
- Not a soft-skills refresher with no measurable outcome
- Not something that only works in a training room, disconnected from real work
A structured-thinking methodology
- Built for the unscripted moment — meetings, Q&As, corridor conversations
- 10 concrete formulas, each mapped to a different communication scenario
- 80% practice using your own real work situations, 20% theory
- Applicable from your very next conversation onward
- Delivered by certified trainers with real facilitation experience
- Used by organisations in more than 30 countries for over 40 years
- Built to change how you think, not just what you say in one moment
