Outline
Presenting your results is part of being a scientist: in your group seminar, on a conference,
for your PhD defense or for the 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
  • Online presentation media (Zoom)
  • Slide composition
  • Difficult situations

My trainings are “work”shops, meaning that the participants apply the learned
material to your own presentations right there. Therefore, everybody should bring
presentations (old or upcoming ones) to work with.

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 excitement is gone, the moment they stand in front of a crowd. To tap into this
enthusiasm during your talk is particularly important to me. And for that enthusiasm
to reappear you need to feel save with what you are doing in your presentation.

The trainer: Dr. Carsten Rohr is a physicist and focuses in his soft skills trainings on presentation training and coaching, scientific writing, efficiency training and team building. More information: www.carstenrohr.de
