How to Improve Impromptu Speaking on The Spot (Think Fast Talk Smart)

[@pamtia7305]

1. Shapeshift: If you can’t get the word out, change physiology to get different outcomes.
 2. Select the right expectations: expect more from yourself than you expect more from other people
 3. Science of availability: read more, learn new skills, expose yourself to new things so you can have more words available. 
 4. Speaks in three: pick 3 things to talk about that are relevant to your opinion. Easy to remember for you and listener 
 5. Structure: 1. Chronological - talk about past; what happened, present; what is happening, future; what can happen next.
 2. Persuasive - What’s the issue?, What’s the solution? How can it benefit people?
 3. Motivation - What’s the issue? Why’s it important? What’s next?

One thing that has always helped me is to read a lot so my mind’s eye can visualize words as I speak...also speaking how you should write (like grammatically correct, etc) without ums or “liiike”makes you sound smarter

[@pattyprincesongs3373]

wow amazing visualizing the words as you speak is actually knowing where your conversation is heading or where you want to take the conversation

[@ronamps3507]

i like your choice of words the " mind's eye"..

Anyone else notice she did this video on this topic is on the fly? And she’s being the example of her advice every one bit just 3s but her confidence and swiftness of eloquence is very well done! Yea she does trip up several times but that shows me hat I’m talking about... all the more! Bravo dr!

[@drgracelee]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It's only fair for me to practice what I preach! I make it my mission to share with you what I know has worked. So since this video is about impromptu speaking, then I must do it on the fly! 💯

[@caitlinsawyer6672]

I am researching for how to effectively speak to others and I am blown away by how much I have learned from just watching two of your videos. I plan to incorporate all of these tips you mentioned when communicating with others. One that really stood out to me is 'speak in 3s.' I am a classic overthinker and this is obvious when speaking at work or in my personal life. All of my thoughts try to force there way out of my mind at once. My real points tend to get lost in that mess. Thank you for your content and I plan to be watching you much more. :)

This information has been very insightful and much needed where were you. I thank God I discovered your videos. Thanks again Dr. Lee

[@uppertrans8139]

How smart you are! Sounds like that you have a structured system in your mind, so that every time when the impromptu situation happens, you can pick that structure right away! I do believe that if we can train ourselves to build up at least three structures in our mind and practice them, we will be able to use them in any flexible way. Thank you so much!

[@josievelasco3695]

Hi, Dr Grace- on this teaching, I found the "issue, solution, benefit to the people" the most usable. I want you to know, however, that my most favorite teaching of yours was the persuasion is not manipulation video. I took notes on an index card and posted it on my refrigerator. raise attention render intention reach the emotion regard the rationalization and ready reaction. It's helping people to make their own win-win situation. Persuasion is not manipulation. I appreciate knowing this so much. Thank you!

[@shahiprodhan7011]

I was listening attentively to the discussion by Grace Lee, Ph.D. on 'Thinking fast and Talk Smart I loved her points. Dr. Lee's sayings were substantial on Structure ideas.

2:20 Shapeshift- Your body posture determines how you speak. Shift your (shape, physiology, posture) for a better than normal outcome. 3:27 Right Expectations- Your brain is already fast! Instincts are fast. Expect your instincts to succeed. 6:03 Science of Availability- Remove negative available communications. Most news is bad news, don't make those words available. Be a voracious learner of new skills and wisdom to acquire better vocabulary. 8:12 Speaks in Threes- So many thoughts! Pick 3 ideas to speak on. Make them easy to remember. 9:34 SUBSCRIBE !!! (emphasis mine) 10:25 Three Structures- Set boundaries around your communication. 1. Chronological - This what happened, this what is happening, this what could happen next. 2. Persuasive - This is the issue, this is my solution, this is how it benefits us. 3. Motivation - What the issue is, why it is important, what to do next to fix it.

Thank you so much for sharing Dr.Lee I feel that my speaking skills even in my mother tongue is not that good, but after watching your video I somehow feel that my confidence is coming back. I am not happy few days ago because my bike was stolen deliberately by some bad guys in my city, and I try to explain how sad I am and I lost my money all that kind of stuff but I can’t find a conclusion of what’s my point or how’s my friend feel, because they just don’t know what to do after what I said. They might say you can just buy a new one or don’t be upset etc. I guess my “level” is not high enough so that my thoughts are always struck on the bike which actually isn’t that expensive after all. As Dr.Lee said I think I should focusing on learning new things gaining more experience so that I retain more vocabulary while speaking and communicating with people, that’s what I really should focusing right now.

I have a very hard time dealing with large groups when there’s opposition to my ideas or something I’ve said.

Thanks Dr. Lee, wonder if I understood the "Select the right expectation", I think what you are saying "trust yourself that you can do it and don't judge hard yourself too much, trust what you say will be good enough", I love the 3 and 3, the selection of 3 three top points you wish to deliver and the template of it, In my reports I do have a template and it is very effective, now I can think of conversation as a structure and most important point was do it in a way that others can understand and benefit from the message, Great job.
