Presentation Delivery Skills

Presentation Delivery Skills online training

About the training

How you present is as, if not more important than what you say… You have to be able to deliver your message clearly and in a way that engages. This is particularly important when interacting with business or areas outside of your specialty, where knowledge of your subject is not enough to keep people interested in your presentations. This workshop is aimed at DPhil students and ECRs of all levels, who would like to learn the basics of delivering a good presentation.

The goal of the session is to show what makes a great presentation and provide tips which researchers can use to communicate more effectively with their audiences. It will cover areas such as emotional projection and actioning, body language and voice as tools to effectively engage, and techniques for dealing with nerves.

Objectives

  • Understand why delivery skills are important both inside and outside research
  • Learn to use body language and voice effectively
  • Be able to capture and keep the audience’s attention
  • Understand why nerves happen, and have techniques at your fingertips to keep control

Format

Online via Zoom.

Interactive session with online participation tools and polls to collect input from the group.
