In many real workplace situations, you do not get the luxury of preparation time. A senior leader may suddenly ask for your opinion, you might need to introduce yourself to a client, or you may be invited to contribute in an interview or group discussion. In such moments, the ability to think clearly and speak confidently without notes becomes a critical career skill. “Impromptu Speaking Techniques,” part of Maven Academy’s Effective Communication series, is designed to help you master exactly that.
Presented by effective communications coach and Distinguished Toastmaster Jeremiah Pradeep, this talking‑head video course provides a structured and practical approach to impromptu speaking. It tackles the anxiety of being put “on the spot” and turns those situations into opportunities to stand out positively.
The program is organized into five focused lessons. You begin with why impromptu speaking matters and how it affects your credibility, visibility, and leadership potential. You then explore common mental blocks—fear of judgment, nervousness, lack of clarity—and learn simple techniques to overcome them. The core lessons introduce easy frameworks to quickly organize your thoughts for opinion questions, mini‑updates, and brief explanations, helping you move from scattered ideas to clear, logical responses. You also learn speech‑delivery techniques, including voice, pace, pauses, and body language, so that you sound confident and engaging even when speaking spontaneously. The final lesson connects these skills to real‑life situations such as interviews, promotions, panel discussions, and group meetings.
By the end of this course, you will have a practical toolbox that makes you more confident whenever you are called upon unexpectedly and better equipped to influence decisions and progress towards leadership roles.
