Workshop: How to give the perfect presentation

Communication with the public is a vital part of being an effective skeptic - after all, what good is it to have a correct answer if you’re not able to help other people understand it? Whether it’s in the workplace, speaking at public events, or even appearing on stage at skeptical conferences, being able to clearly and engagingly convey your ideas is a handy arrow in any skeptic’s quiver - which is why we are delighted to be hosting a workshop on how to give effective presentations, with award winning science communicator Dr Jamie Gallagher.

Discover how to give the most engaging, interesting and memorable presentations possible. This workshop will guide you through the secrets of how to deliver a standout presentation from design to delivery. Led by award winning presenter Dr Jamie Gallagher the session explores how to banish nerves, create eye-catching visuals and how to create a narrative around even the most complex of topics.

Following this workshop, you should be able to understand how to turn research into a compelling narrative, prepare a high quality, engaging pitch/presentation, feel comfortable and confident while delivering talks, understand the use of language, body language and visualisation in presenting.

Dr Jamie Gallagher is an engagement trainer and consultant who works with universities, charities, museums and professional bodies helping them to engage more effectively. Working full time in public engagement for over a decade he has helped improve the reach, profile and impact in almost every academic discipline. Jamie is also a science communicator and can often be found on TV, radio or stage making research accessible.
