What can the beautiful game teach us about the profession we’ve all dedicated our lives to?

It’s happened to all of us—you’re asked unexpectedly during a meeting to give a project update, or are stopped in the hallway with an important question, or are cornered in a challenging conversation.

You can’t plan for these unrehearsed events, but you can take steps to always be confident and ready when they do happen.

This preview of the AMA seminar, Effectively Communicating in the Moment, explains how this course helps you develop your in-the-moment communication skills and will offer some tactics you can start using immediately to become a more effective communicator.

• Advice for keeping your composure while taking time to respond
• What to do when you are being pushed for an answer
