  • Quick-wittedness

    Being quick witted doesn’t mean having a quick, funny, or cheeky answer at your fingertips. It’s the ability to react intelligently in a difficult situation. And that can be taught.

Key points

  • Reacting to personal attacks and insults, whether due to gender, age, experience, competence, appearance, or origin.
  • Dealing with dim-witted patter, derogatory jokes, and abusive comments
  • Strategies for ‘bumper-sticker wisdom’, polarising opinions, and conspiracy theories
  • Dealing with low blows and ‘sparring rhetoric’ in election campaigns

The key issue with all these topics of quick-wittedness is: How can I protect myself in conversations, not ‘put up with everything’, yet not lose sight of the goal of my discussions (a pay rise, for example)?
