For table topics--I'm going to really think about which of the three options would help me formulate a coherent answer. Also, the table you provided on how to analyze the whole process.

It's been such an honor to learn from Satish today. My biggest takeaway is the framework for high stakes impromptu speaking. I am going to practice intentionally with listen(pause)-decide(storytelling)-organize(PSB/PREP/STAR)-express(body languages). Thanks again for the opportunity.

I liked having a detailed roadmap for answering an impromptu question. Well thought out ideas.
What new action(s) will you take based on what you learned from this workshop and how will you hold yourself accountable?
One of my concerns was how we should judge ourselves in impromptu speaking - Can we accept being less than perfect, and how much less, given a difficult, time-critical situation? I think this give me a framework to judge and improve against.

I loved the simple frameworks that Satish shared. For example, LIsten - Decide - Organize - Express. I also liked the impromptu scenario during his interview. The question was "If I hire you, what should I be worried about?" and the answer that got him the job was "Your job - that's what you should worry about" :)
What new action(s) will you take based on what you learned from this workshop and how will you hold yourself accountable?
Go through the notes and handouts and reflect on some of the questions
