Your strength

Quick on your feet.

Under pressure

Answers can wander without a frame.

Your next move

Point, proof, next, in 60 seconds.

In an interview, curveball questions don't throw you. Open questions can: without a frame, the answer wanders. Pick your point before you start talking.

In a presentation, if you'd rather take questions than give the talk, plan the talk itself: three stops decided in advance, with room to improvise between them.

Try this: Take any question and answer in three parts: your point, one example, what happens next. Stop at 60 seconds.
