As part of the Environ 2021 conference, we are offering delegates to opportunity to take part in a “Presenting your research with confidence workshop” which will take place at 1:30-3:30pm on 24^th May 2021.

It's tempting to get up and just read your paper, but to really speak to your audience you need to be able to communicate skilfully and with conviction. We've all been to dull presentations so it's worth your while spending a little time to learn how to do it properly.

This workshop, offered free of charge to delegates prior to the conference, will be led by Dr. Hugh Kearns and will provide a clear step-by-step structure that you can use again and again to give high quality presentations. It will cover:
•    How to make your message relevant to your audience
•    How to structure and link parts of your talk
•    Preparing materials, notes, handouts, PowerPoint
•    Practicing
•    Delivery
•    How to handle questions
•    Dealing with nervousness

And of course, it will be interactive and fun!
