How to excel in your next effective 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 the world around us. So if your presentation is boring or confusing, it will not stick in people’s minds.
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
