Quick-wittedness compact for women: Never be speechless again!

Counter verbal attacks calmly and confidently

This training is held in German.
How do you react to a snide comment or a verbal broadside against you? Do you fall silent, do you swallow your anger? A few days later, do you think of the right response? Does it seem too cheeky, too rude? In this compact practical workshop, you will practise quickly finding clever answers to unforeseen verbal provocations. To be quick-witted, it is not important to find the perfect answer, but to be able to counter in the first place. Quick-wittedness can be trained. In this compact seminar, you will gain more ease, confidence and even enjoy countering and develop your repartee.
