Welcome.
I'm very excited today to talk about effective speaking in spontaneous situations.
I thank you all for joining us,even though the title of my talk is grammatically incorrect.
I thought that might scare a few of you away.
But I learned teaching here at the business school,catching people's attention is hard.
So,something as simple as that,I thought,might draw a few of you here,so this is going to be a highly interactive and participative workshop today.
If you don't feel comfortable participating that's completely fine, but do know I'm gonna ask you to talk to people next to you.
They'll be opportunities to stand up and practice some things because I believe the way we become effective communicators is by actually communicating,so let's get started right away.
I'd like to ask you all to read this sentence, and as you read this sentence,what's most important to me is that you count the number of fs that you find in this sentence,please.
Count the number of fs.
