In this session with Professor Lydia Wilkinson, you will learn about approaches to plan and deliver a compelling, effective, and engaging presentation. Through discussion and activities you’ll practice strategies to craft a message and make it stick, covering ways to engage your audience and maintain their interest, techniques to shape your story and make it more memorable, and methods, including effective visualization, to distill and explain complex concepts to expert and non-expert audiences.
