Impromptu Speaking + Active Listening Lab

About this event

Impromptu Speaking + Listening Lab Speak on the spot and listen well. No more polite nodding and blank stares. Lead the conversation. This is a Zoom practice group for anyone who wants to get better at thinking on their feet, speaking clearly, and actually listening. This is great for interviews, meetings, leadership, or anyone who freezes when put on the spot. Format is simple: • 1 speaker answers a prompt (1–2 minutes) \*Bring your own prompts to the session. • 1 listener repeats back what they heard (30–60 seconds: main point, key detail, interesting words/phrases.) • Rotate and repeat \*We’ll use random selection so everyone gets a fair shot. No evaluations. No lectures. No pressure. No debates. Just active listening and repeat-back. Why this lab? \- Build real confidence speaking on the spot \- Think on your feet and answer more clearly \- Practice active listening you can't fake \- Get better at responding in real conversations \- Less rambling\, more clarity \- Cross paths with new people \- Low\-pressure environment This is practice, not performance.
