Think On Your Feet
A 6-week virtual group masterclass on
The art and practice of
spontaneous speaking
Be the first to find out when the next round begins!
You already speak to groups or on camera and feel Pretty good when you’re prepared but —
You want to feel more adept at speaking off-the-cuff.
You’re afraid of having nothing to say or of bumbling along.
You’d like to feel like as eloquent improvising as you are when you’re prepared.
You’d love to be able to be more playful and have fun!
You see others being naturally themselves and you wonder
“what will it take for me to get to that place?”
That’s why I created
Think On Your Feet
6- week group experience to practice the art of spontaneous speaking
Stay in balance when you feel put on the spot.
Let go of your self- judgment and criticism.
Feel comfortable and naturally you.
Be ready and confident in all kinds of impromptu speaking.
What’s included?
6 weekly 1-hour virtual group masterclasses that will have you fully engaged with others and thinking on your feet.
Deliciously fun and customized prompts that will allow you to feel dynamic, articulate, and naturally you at your best.
Carefully designed feedback structures that create safety and positivity while growing your skills
Thinking on your feet is something we think we can’t do, but I trust that after six weeks with Linda, you’ll have a very different perception of yourself.
Linda’s Courses are so enlightening! She taught me how to mentally prepare before speaking, which is so important as it helps you feel more confident and at ease with yourself. Her exercises also taught me the art of speaking spontaneously. I thoroughly enjoyed taking her course and wish it lasted longer! You will not regret signing up, you have everything to gain!
During these 6 weeks you’ll:
Connect deeply to your audience and yourself and stay there when you speak.
Learn to relax in silent space to allow words to emerge, if, when, and as they come.
Loosen up, let stuff fly out of your mouth and have fun!
Build your confidence and ease in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

I keep this masterclass small and intimate so everyone has plenty of time in the limelight. Pick which cohort works best for you.
Give me a script. I’m fine, but please do not make me say anything off the cuff– that just scared me to death. But now, with the safe environment and playful games, I feel much more confident. I’ve branched out and agreed to speak on a FaceBook Live as well as a radio show. Can’t wait to see what else comes up!
I joined Think On Your Feet to strengthen my live video presentation. I so loved this hour and looked forward to it every week! You’re a talented educator and coach!
I highly recommend Linda! She really has very grounded energy and keeps you feeling calm. I’ve only taken the first class and, as an educator, I could already see her brilliance in teaching. As for me, I’ve been feeling much more enthusiastic about showing up, especially on camera.
Hey! I’m Linda Ugelow!
Think On Your Feet for speakers is a 6-week series to transform how you feel speaking on the spot. I created this program from my own desire to explore the power of spontaneous speaking.
I combine:
40 years as a performer
30 years teaching improvisational dance
My background in psychology and Expressive Therapies and
my training in Gateless Writing to create a process that is both transformational and fun.
I host the TV show, Women Inspired, and am the author of Delight In The Limelight: Overcome your fear of being seen and realize your dreams.
Working with Linda Ugelow was a life-changing experience. I’m on multiple virtual meetings each day and the impact has been dramatic. I used to be distracted by the thoughts in my head. Now I’m focused on sharing my ideas. I’m also comfortable speaking spontaneously, even if I’m not totally prepped.
With an upcoming book, I wanted to gain practice and ease with spontaneous speaking. Your class felt so authentic and warm– really welcoming and nurturing each student’s voice. I loved the novel ways you welcomed us to think on our feet. With hindsight, my prior Toastmasters experience of “Table Topics” felt like exposure therapy, whereas Think On Your Feet felt like a gentle guide inviting me to explore impromptu speaking. The safety from being witnessed and embodied feels mine to keep so I can carry it with me. And now, I want to test my skills in harder contexts like in-person, larger groups, an intimidating audience, or anywhere!
I tried Toastmasters, but I feel that, while similar in some ways, this benefitted me far more. This has been one of the most pleasant experiences talking in front of people that I’ve ever had.
