How to Rise to the Occasion, When the Occasion Calls for Impromptu Remarks

"All the world's a stage," Shakespeare wrote. But what happens when you find yourself on the "stage" – whether it's a business meeting, a news conference, an elevator full of colleagues, or even a platform such as Twitter – and no one has handed you a script?     In her new book, Impromptu: Leading in the Moment, Judith Humphrey teaches business leaders, owners, and entrepreneurs how to prepare to speak spontaneously and win over their audiences. But can she talk the talk?    Host and Reputation Coach Dean Rotbart, a one-time Colorado state high school extemporaneous speakers champ, puts Judith to the test this week, as he probes her ability to ad-lib answers to some of his toughest questions.   Photo: Judith Humphrey, Impromptu Posted: December 25, 2017 Monday Morning Run Time: 33 minutes 18 seconds
