CREOL: Making the most of your presentation

Making the most of your presentation

Dr. Jean-luc Doumont, Stanford University
February 26th, 2010 - 4-6pm
CREOL 102 & 103

ABSTRACT

Strong oral presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and other professionals, yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively, sometimes haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results. Based on Dr Doumont’s book _Trees, maps, and theorems_ about "effective communication for rational minds", this lecture proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver presentations. Among others, it covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as stage fright.
