You’re a researcher and realize there’s a gap between the importance of your research and your ability to communicate it in a convincing, engaging way. 

This is the signature program that has now trained 10,000+ researchers to create clear, concise, impactful presentations within and beyond academia.

The program includes multiple  workshop modules for each of the 4 content areas. For people working as part of a cohort there are guideded feedback sessions as well as Q&A opportunites with Andrew for each section.

The content section begins with establishing 2 critical components: a simple, accessible description of what you are actually doing, clear defined goals about the purpose of sharing a presentaiton about it. The other 2 modules consist of establishing a compelling opening moment and anegagin trajectory as a well as covering the 3 Cs necessary for success: coconnection, comprehension and credibility.  

The visuals modules cover everything from 10 rules for better slides to 5 functions in PowerPoint that every researcher should be using. These trainings are a combination of neuroscience about how visuals can aid with comprehension and memory to simple best practices for beta-testing your visuals before sharing in a big stage moment.  

Presence is about both body language and voice as well as the tricks you need to help you get there. While most programs focus on specific actions, I help you both understand and then embody how your natural authentic presence is your most poewrful tool to engage audiences and create a lasting impact.  

The final module is about Mindset covers not only managing anxiety and impsoter syndrome but also how to get better feedback, how to practice more effectively, and how to use video to augment external feedback. These are all shared with an eye towards the goal of being both professional and engaging by realzing the power of sharing the story of your research with an authentic presence that will allow you to consitently present excpetionally well.  

Content

Honing content to ignite curiosity and scaffold comprehension. Your resulting narrative will be both clear and engaging while still being rigorous and true. The result is audiences that will listen, understand, and respond. 

Visuals

Creating compelling visuals that complement rather than compete. This is not only about what is on your slide, but the things you leave off, and the way you use them. Most researchers relationship with their slides is broken, we will help you repair it. 

Presence

Developing a dynamic presence that keeps people engaged even after you've finished speaking. This is about being engaging while still being professional by embracing being interesting rather than entertaining. 

Mindset

We help you fully embrace being true to yourself and your passion for your work. In sharing your authentic self, you will learn to present exceptionally well.
