Ambush!
Your day’s going fine and THEN they ask you to present the new slides… in the meeting that starts in 5.
You’re listening to them doing the pitch UNTIL you realise you need to speak up… but no one’s noticed you.
You’ve prepared a great deck for a 20-minute talk and, Christ! They’ve cut your slot in half. Oh, and you’re on next.
These problems are solved at London’s newest and most fun public speaking course.
