Presenting Your Ideas, Not Only Your Slides

Getting your content the attention it deserves, because if you do not, your audience will lose time and interest.

There are a few timeless laws of public speaking that we will work on together. The art of storytelling – focusing on the important parts of your presentation – what is a good slide – how to use your voice professionally – some essential acting rules – the right way to breathe to keep yourself calm – will be part of our workshop.

The important question for you must be – why should we listen to your talk and not fall asleep?

Content:

1. Short introduction: What is it good for?

2. Reflection: What do I expect from the speaker? What do I have to consider when giving a talk by myself?

3. Presentations of PhD students (to be prepared ahead of the workshop)

4. Reflection: Opinion of the audience, the speakers and from the trainer Wolfgang

5. Reflection, Summary, Perspective

Format & Requirements:

Interactive workshop

Participants must give a Power Point presentation of their own doctoral thesis of 5 minutes (to be prepared ahead of the workshop!!!)

Please note: You will not receive feedback on the actual scientific content, but solely on your presentation style & quality of slides
