Today's interview is with Judith Humphrey. Judith is a communications expert who equips leaders to speak effectively in any situation by preparing to be spontaneous.

For senior leaders, spontaneous moments to influence and inspire happen daily – in meetings, in the corridor, in a tweet. To shine in these moments leaders must learn to listen, think, and respond within seconds. In her new book, Impromptu: Leading in the Moment, she discusses different ways to do this.

We discuss the following in our interview:

• The power of “Scripting” yourself for any occasion
• How to toss the index cards and develop impromptu remarks in the new age of speeches
• How to instantly read any audience, anywhere, of any size
• Lessons from great impromptu speeches throughout history
• Tips to rapidly collect your thoughts and craft a persuasive message
• How to master body language and speak with the physical presence of a leader
