Where: Online
Who: Motivated, interested, and committed students, PhDs and Post-docs who are interested in entrepreneurship and improving their presentation skills.
Info: This hands-on module helps students craft a presentation that’s engaging, dynamic, and convincing. We will learn that the key to this is to focus on your audience. More importantly, we will learn how to do it. We will look at what persuades audiences, how different personalities respond to different approaches, how to get them to pay attention and to understand our presentation. We will discover the link between a memorable presentation and one that is credible and convincing. We will also look at what specific audiences such as investors want to see and how to make sure you connect with them in the most powerful way possible. The course is practical and centres on a five-minute presentation of your choice. You will give an initial presentation to the group and receive feedback. After that we will deep dive into the challenges we face as presenters, the tools we have at our disposal to overcome said challenges, and – most importantly – how you can use those tools in your specific presentation. In the course of the two days, you will develop an understanding of audiences and your ability to engage them. We will finish with the final version of your five-minute presentation and you will receive detailed one-to-one feedback.
