Competent Performance: The Art of Self Presenting
Content:
An Empowerment training for female* scientists
Mindful and effective self-presenting in the way of showing your strength confidently and authentically at the right moment is an Art - and a professional competence that can be learned. Whether you are at conferences, in front of an academic committee, giving a presentation or promoting a research project… the way you think about yourself and how you come across to others will deeply influence your success.
In this workshop, the participants will learn about essential speech communication techniques and get the opportunity to practice presentations. It provides insights into the use of positive language, bodywork and mental training. After an overview of classical rhetoric, speech structure and feedback culture you might have changed your perspective and be able to practice and improve your presence and personal performance in an academic setting with confidence and joy.
