Be your own Bill Nye.
Your knowledge and passion can win over a room of any size. The key is knowing how to use them well.
What We’ll Explore
Face-to-face interactions can be incredible opportunities for your storytelling and outreach. Not everyone has to be ready to get up and give a TED talk (and if you are talking, the TED style isn’t even necessarily the best thing to emulate). We’ll focus on your strengths, address your weaknesses, and set you up for success at any conference, cocktail party, or interview that comes your way. After all, the next one could be where you meet your most important partner or supporter.
Interview Preparation
The best interviewer and editor in the world will struggle to make a compelling segment if the interviewee was boring. To avoid that, you don’t have to put on a character or change your personality, you just have to know how to let the most inviting aspects of your work and your personality shine through. Learning to control your content, phrasing, voice, and body language will help you create great interviews, which can lead to a better audience response, and a greater likelihood of more interviews to follow.
Presentations & Slideshows
Bullet points are appropriately named; they can shoot down the best of presenters. I have seen renowned and beloved scientists put a room to sleep because of their presentation design and style. Knowing what to say, how to say it, and what to show while you’re speaking will ensure that people hear, pay attention to—and remember—your message.
Conference Posters
Conference attendance takes time and costs money. If you’ve decided to go, you want to be sure to get the most out of it. Determining your target audience and desired result will help reveal what form your poster or booth should take.
One-Page Summaries
Sometimes the best interaction you can have is for a potential journalist or funder to walk away with a single page in hand. We’ll put your most compelling images, results, and story together in a way that catches the eye and sticks in the brain.
