Presenting your results is part of being a scientist: in your group seminar, on a conference, for your PhD defense or for general public. How can you do this convincingly?

The topics covered by this workshop are:

Planning and structure
Memorable start and ending
Speech, voice and body language
Visualization and presentation media
Slide composition
Poster design
Difficult situations
Personality and character
Video-feedback

My trainings are "work"shops, meaning that the participant apply the learned material to your own presentation and posters right there. Therefore everybody should bring presentations (old or upcoming ones) and posters to work with it.

I´m giving presentation skills workshops especially for scientists, because speaking the same language is a great advantage for tailoring the presentations effectively. Secondly, I know that most scientists talk about their topic with shining eyes. Often that exitement is gone, the moment they stand in front of a crowd. To tap into this enthusiasm during your talk is very important to me. And for that enthusiasm to reappear you need to feel secure with what you are doing in your presentation.
