Description
This half-day session will help CDT participants develop presentation skills which can be applied in a range of public speaking environments. Keeping in mind that the cohort will be planning their content for Daresbury Open Week as part of their training week, but also require support to participate through presentations and conversations at academic conferences, the session will include activities which can be used directly to help structure academic talks and engagement with non-technical audiences.
The session will cover:
• Who is your audience?
• What is your message?
• Why should they care?
• Tackling jargon
• Structuring your message
• Standing on a stand - attracting a transient audience
