Think on your feet
Professional Quick-Wittedness

Training for professional quick-wittedness

 

Group and individual training for more sovereignty and serenity. Funny sayings from a list are not enough. After all, you want to convince and improve your situation.

You have something to say? Let's make sure it gets the chance it deserves.

It increases the courage with the occasion.

William Shakespeare

Training for the quick professional response

 

… “Mr. Noack, honestly. You can’t learn quick-wittedness!”
– “That’s right! Just as one can’t learn to fold paper boats!”

 

Quick-wittedness is not a parlor game for the minority but is trainable – even if you do not learn as fast as Churchill and Mark Twain. In my training sessions and particularly this seminar you will learn to stay autonomous and confident instead of forgetting your words and sweating nervously and be able to handle verbal resistance.

… You’ll be so charming and successful that it will remind aggressive resisting people, sarcastic colleagues, and know-it-alls, not to interrupt you again — seminar passed!

Why and when with me?

 

There are several options for communication and presentation training. It is not always easy to decide which one is the best. There are many good alternatives. To help you make an informed decision, I will tell you a lot about myself and what I do on these pages. The numerous articles will give you a first impression of my style. You can learn about the WHAT, the HOW and also the WHY. I like transparency. You can also ask someone who has already worked with me, or - the most convincing and effective way - come and see me for a first 60 or 90-minute session.

Your trainer

 

Since 1998, I support people in presenting themselves and their message convincingly. In this training, I share my knowledge. We make sure that you improve your position with your quick-wittedness, instead of relying on short-term effects. Benefit from my experience in marketing, psychology, and rhetoric.

By the way, body language plays a very important role here. The best form of repartee makes sure you do not even get attacked.

What clients say

 

I am not a native English speaker but many of my clients are. Quick witted people are considered good communicators because it is a primary communication skill. The training with Mr. Noack showed me how to be quick-witted also in an international setting.

Thomas Braun
Berlin

 

The charismatic business leaders are always quick-witted. They have the ability to take control of the situation and make a rapid-fire answer. In German, I am that kind of person. Now I am able to respond in English and German fast and effective as never before. The additional coaching sessions are highly recommended.

Professional impact analysis: How are you perceived by other people?

How do you actually affect people in conversations, speeches and presentations, in interviews? Professional feedback helps. What insights does an impact analysis offer you?

Structure for speeches and presentations: Take your audience from hell to heaven.

Structure for speeches and presentations: Take your audience from hell to heaven.

Do you offer a way to better conditions? It’s about promoting change? Whether products, processes, etc. Do you want to hold a public office?

I call this easy to use and very effective speech structure the “Hell-Heaven-Way”. If the conditions are untenable and there are solutions available, you can also use it outside the church to convince your audience.
