"If you work in a technical role, chances are you like precision. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. But what if you’re in a situation where you’re not sure what to say at all?
Speaking off the cuff is such a situation.
Your boss asks you in the hallway how a project is going.
You’re asked a question during a presentation you didn’t anticipate.
A colleague asks you where you want to go for lunch.
Perhaps the last one is inconsequential (pick Thai food, by the way. You can never go wrong with Thai food). In any event, it can be nerve wracking to speak unprepared.
Here’s a tip to make it less nerve wracking: restate what you think you heard or ask a clarifying question."
