Learn how to excel in the presentations you deliver

Your scientific presentations are critical to your career and it is crucial to deliver them as effectively as possible. But there are many obstacles along the road to successful presentation delivery. Therefore craft your next presentation using narrative, design, and tips from dr Alan Crivellaro at Presenting Scientist.

It’s time for effective scientific presentations!

You have an important scientific presentation to deliver and you wish it was being heard to boost your career, encourage other people to work with you, and establish your position in the scientific community. But, like your myriad colleagues, you are working hard in a crowded, noisy, and distracting world that turns down your efforts unless you find a way to stand out. Therefore you need a practical and reliable method to allow you to excel in your next presentation.

While working in Universities and Research Institutions for over 20 years, I have helped hundreds of students and colleagues grow the impact of their scientific presentations. I have learned that the advancement in their career depends more and more on their communication and presentation skills.
Therefore, in 2020, I founded Presenting Scientist to consult, teach, coach, and speak about designing and delivering effective scientific presentations. I help young and experienced scientists to clarify their presentations, amplify their impact, and boost their careers.

How to excel in your next scientific presentation

Your next scientific presentation is crucial, and it deserves to be remembered. But your audience’ brains are wired to use as little energy as possible to make sense of it. So if your presentation is boring or confusing, it will not stick in the minds of your audience.
Do any of these situations sound like you?
• I prepared the script, but I was lost while presenting.
• I was embarrassed last week when a prominent scientist asked me about my most recent work, and I couldn’t explain it in simple words.
• I’m sure we have great results. I’m just not sure how to tell a story with them.
This is what I hear most often when someone calls for help getting their next scientific presentation straight. My clients are usually PhD students or postdocs with excellent research experience. But nobody ever showed them how to present their results.

What people are saying

“Alan has coached me through a demanding presentation I had to deliver to a hyper-diverse audience spanning poets, statisticians, economists, ecologists, and scholars of culture. He helped me identify my one core message, and together, we developed the red thread that allowed me to feel on the page every minute of my talk. Alan knew what matters most: how to establish and keep an excellent connection to my listeners. His manner of sharing a simple but powerful toolbox built from decades of experience was key to my success.” – Maria

It was fascinating to learn the tips you teach us in the first session. Now I have new elements to put into practice in future presentations. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Jorge

Thank you for the workshop and the many exciting things you taught us. I really appreciate the opportunity to learn from you. I will definitely apply what you taught me to my thesis presentation next week.
Iuliia

The workshop was really informative and enjoyable. As someone who gets extremely nervous public speaking, you created a safe place where I felt comfortable to present and even to receive/provide feedback.
Candice

Thanks so much for helping us during the Effective Presentations Workshop. Really grateful for your effort and kindness. I learned a lot, and I was really amazed by how you led us to realise how to make a presentation effectively, both psychologically and practically. It is absolutely new and beneficial for me.
