Pitching ideas

How can you make your presentations persuasive and engaging? Why do we remember some people’s talks many months later, but can’t recall others? How do you drive home a message, to funders, peers or senior colleagues? In this interactive workshop you will learn simple tools and approaches to deliver a compelling argument. You will discuss real-life examples to help you become a more confident and convincing speaker. No more ‘death by Powerpoint’!

 

Networking

Networking events whilst fun for some people can seem a daunting prospect for many. Often, it seems, we look out at a sea of unknown faces and don’t know where to begin to introduce ourselves or get beyond the small talk of, “What do you do?”, or the weather. Worse, the one person we want to talk to is surrounded by people and there seems to be no way in… This workshop centres around top tips for networking.

 

There will be a drinks reception for attendees following the second session, from 17.20
