Academic Presenter Hero – Deliver engaging presentations

Does presenting really matter, as an academic?

It does. Few will admit it, but ideas spread not based on how important but how well communicated they are. You can produce the greatest research work but, if no one understands what it is about and why it matters, no one will remember it.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs):

• What experience do you have as a presenter?
  I have a 15-years experience presenting in front of large audiences, both live and remotely, and I spoke at the largest conference in my field, behavioral sciences. Moreover, my "day job" is training and advising executives on people management and, between others, I cover communication and presenting skills.

  
  

• What if I'm really not talented at presenting?

  I was really bad at it too. I was the shyest kid in my school, English is my third language, and my body language used to be the most awkward. Yet, I had the chance of having great coaches and colleagues teach me how to become better at delivering effective presentations, so that poor communication skills won't get in the way of the great work I was doing. With this course, I give back what I learned. And if I mastered presenting, so can you.

  
  

• How fast will it work?

  The course takes about 1h50 to watch, but the first half a hour already contains exercises which will dramatically increase your presentation effectiveness. It will take some more work to implement all the contents of the course – including a few minutes of daily work for a couple of weeks if you need to improve your diction, body language, or facial expressivity.

• Why should I get this course now?

  Any time you are asked what you work on, and aren't able to convey this clearly and engagingly, you lose an opportunity to advance your career. Best take care of this as soon as possible.
