PREPARE YOURSELF FOR TOUGH QUESTIONS IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
We live in uncertain, volatile times – with an increasing number of tough questions potentially swirling around us.
Last week Britain was a paid-up member of the European Union – the biggest single market in the world.
We start this week with Britain on its way out of the EU.
Last week Britain had a well-established Prime Minister enjoying his second term in office.
We start this week with David Cameron having announced that he’s on his way out.
Last week Britain had a relatively new Opposition Leader.
We start this week with Jeremy Corbyn facing a no confidence motion from his own Labour Party because so many traditional Labour voters ignored his advice on the European Union – which could put him on his way out.
Last week a campaigner for a British Exit from the European Union called Boris Johnson was seen as a lovable comic figure who was prepared to be photographed looking ridiculous.

So the UK could end up with a Prime Minister prepared to be photographed in all kinds of situations and with anyone – even Australians who got to vote in the Brexit referendum.
This week the British Exit has been followed by politicians in other countries talking about doing the same – looking at Frexit in France and Swexit in Sweden.
And Scotland – which voted to remain in Europe – is looking at holding a second referendum on independence to see if its population wants to leave the United Kingdom in order to stay in the European Union.
GET READY FOR THOSE REALLY TOUGH QUESTIONS
In such volatile times you need to be ready to answer questions from inside your organisation such as:
“Are our jobs safe with all this uncertainty and big falls in the value of the currency and the stock market?”
And you can face even tougher questions from outside your organisation, like:
“As your client, wouldn’t it be easier for me to get a supplier for your products and services from inside the European Union?”
What ambitious people in the workplace need in such challenging times is a guide to giving great answers to these kinds of challenging questions – and any others – that can arise in your first job interview, or to your farewell speech on the board, or all sorts of verbally critical situations in between.
The good news is that help has arrived…
If you can get to London for Thursday 30 June 6.45pm to 8.30pm you can potentially take part in the book launch – hosted by Waterstones in High Street Kensington.
The launch event will feature great speakers and authors from inside and outside the Professional Speaking Association.

The MC will be the “Fabulous Impact Speaker” Nicci Roscoe – a Corporate Confidence and Impact Coach who is the Immediate Past President of the Professional Speaking Association’s vibrant London Region where she has indeed had a fabulous impact.
Nicci is the author of “Fabulous Impact – Step Into The New You And Re-Write Your Own Script”. |

You’ll get to hear from negotiation guru Chris Merrington – author of “Why Do Smart People Make Such Stupid Mistakes?”.
Chris helps agencies and sales teams to be more successful and profitable. |

As you can see, behind Graham’s debonair James Bond look, he isn’t a great believer in hair of any kind!
But it’s worth coming along just to the launch to hear his words and wit alone. |
