The more important your presentation and the more status your audience has, the more likely you are to face criticism, pressure, and “hard” questions. This training course will give you effective techniques for responding to any verbal attacks addressed in your direction. You will be able to quickly parry criticism, take a hit and save face even in the most critical situation.

You will receive a universally applicable scheme for responding to criticism, uncomfortable questions and pressure. Learn to apply it as freely and creatively as possible in verbal "combat" situations. Your answers will go from being formal to sounding natural. You will be able to fend off criticism and still be yourself.

In the training, I use dozens of video examples of the most successful and the worst answers to "difficult" questions from famous people - from Warren Buffett to Vladimir Putin.
