Postdocs: Communication & Personal Impact (one-to-one coaching)

PrerequisitesNew

Do you get the results you want from your communication with others at work? Are you able to talk with confidence in meetings? Do you gain a high level of impact when speaking in public?

This individually focused and completely confidential one-to-one coaching session will help you in identifying how to further utilise your voice and gain greater awareness of how you present yourself, so that you can develop new approaches to your communication in a wide range of professional situations.

It will focus on your own specific requirements, but could include anything from practical points about elocution, ideas for how to hold the attention of a room, or new confidence in speaking up as an emerging leader in your research field.

Outcomes

• Greater awareness of your voice and body, and how you come across to others
• Practical techniques to help you communicate effectively, with impact
• Improved confidence with public speaking and presentations

Postdoctoral Researchers/Research Staff

At the beginning of your one-to-one session, you will be asked to give a short presentation (or excerpt thereof). If you are working on something specific which you would like to practise (e.g. a lecture, paper, talk), then please bring this with you on a data stick.

If you don’t have anything particular to present, then please come prepared to talk for 2-3 minutes about yourself and your work.
