Scientist and Engineer Presentation Skills offers technical professionals special coaching and guidance to design, develop, and deliver successful presentations in several formats: internal briefings, conference lectures, poster sessions, public hearings, and public testimony.

This one-day Scientist and Engineer Presentation Skills presentation training course is designed for scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals who must explain complex information to their peers or non-experts. Our program features extensive practice through presentations, demonstrations, small-group and individual exercises. During the class, participants create their individual presentations and deliver them in five (5) digital video recorded exercises before a small audience.

On-Site Training: Can be tailored to the needs of the client organization and delivered on-site at a time and location of the client's choice. Many of the skills learned in this class are also covered in our Exceptional Presentations course.

Objectives

Participants will learn to:

  • Make your presentation come alive in such a way that your audience will be talking about it days or weeks later
  • Present your material in a relaxed, professional way, using very few notes
  • Determine what the audience needs and wants, and design ways to address these concerns
  • Avoid confusing techno-speak and make your presentation accessible to key decision makers who may be non-specialists in your field
  • Use and prepare the visual aids that are appropriate to the situation
  • Fit the length of your presentation to the time you have been allotted, while also being flexible to last-minute changes
  • Tailor your presentation to fit the venue and the event, because a professional conference is not the same as a press conference
  • Develop confidence in using all types of presentation tools
  • Overcome presentation anxiety
  • Respond with confidence and clarity to questions and objections from your audience
  • Employ supplemental material such as stories, examples, and illustrations to hold your audience's attention
