Presentation Skills Workshops
Presentations are a feature of almost all academic and professional
activity, whether to large audiences at high profile
conferences or to more
informal gatherings of interested colleagues. Yet it
is the thing that we
often feel least prepared for, often a cause for great
anxiety. Part of this
is about the content to be presented, but much more of
the concern is about
the simple business of delivery speaking in an
informative and engaging
way to offer something stimulating and interesting to
the assembled
audience.
Our presentation skills programme concentrates on
developing these skills of
good delivery how to plan and prepare properly, to
practise and present
well, and also to be able to get better every time you
give a presentation.
The programme consists of a one-hour lunchtime
presentation from an
experienced speaker, followed a week or two later by
an afternoon workshop,
where you deliver a short presentation on a topic of
your choice to a small
group of peers. These presentations are videotaped and
replayed one by one
to offer unique insights and feedback on your
presentation style. Most often
people are surprised that they are much better than
they thought and that
there are several strengths to build on as well as
some areas to
systematically improve.
