Feel empowered when called upon to “stand and deliver” in spontaneous moments.
It’s happened to all of us—you’re asked to give a project update unexpectedly during a meeting, stopped in the hallway with an important question or are cornered in a challenging conversation. You can’t plan for these unrehearsed events, but you can take steps to always be confident and ready when they do happen by learning effective in-the-moment strategies.

2 days of training felt long. A condensed 1-day version would be better. IMO the material on the 2nd day was more impactful.

"Communicating Effectively In The Moment" was a very enriching seminar. The instructor, Denise, was very engaging, professional and enthusiastic. Taking into account each participant learning objective, Denise ensured that we made the most out of the learning experience. The course material was thorough, especially with the different interactive case studies and exercises. It kept the participants lively and engaged. Denise was always ready to answer our questions with relevant examples. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone who wants to better their communications skills, especially when dealing with difficult conversations.

I liked how this workshop was participatory in nature and not content heavy. It gave time to interact and practice communication styles and methods with people who have different experiences.

The course was very well facilitated and we had a good group of participants. This is the first virtual 2 day course that I've taken and I found it very long. Thankfully, the facilitator ensured we had our full breaks.

I really loved the diversity of attendee's and Sherry's way of including everyone in a way that we all learned from each other. Sherry is probably the best facilitator I have ever had anywhere--and I've taken a lot of courses. Her knowledge and experience is vast, but her style is very approachable. It's applicable to any business type and even useful in personal life.
