A practical guide to communicating clearly and confidently when you're put on the spot. Drawing on research in psychology, communication, and performance, Matt Abrahams breaks down why people freeze under pressure and offers techniques to stay calm, think quickly, and express ideas effectively. Through real-world examples, simple frameworks, and actionable exercises, the book teaches readers how to handle unexpected questions, manage anxiety, structure spontaneous responses, and speak with greater presence in high-stakes moments. It's designed for anyone who wants to improve impromptu speaking-whether in meetings, interviews, presentations, or everyday conversations.
