Speaking with Impact

Speaking with Impact

Public speaking through presentations, talks and webinars, can offer technical professionals numerous avenues to create awareness of their work, field of expertise and new technologies. It is additionally a major career enhancing skill and can provide opportunities to raise one’s profile and be seen as a leader and specialist in their scientific or engineering field.

The perception that public speaking is not an easy skill to master, especially when dealing with complex topics pertaining to science and engineering, is however wrong. Speaking with impact requires staying on message, being clear on what one’s is seeking to achieve and delivering with conviction.

This webinar will provide attendees with a framework to deliver impactful messages on complex technical topics to any audience in both online and offline in-person settings.

We will in particular cover the following:
−    The ‘Why, What and How’ of preparing an impactful speech or presentation
−    Why ‘less is more’ to maximise one’s impact when speaking
−    Techniques to communicate and simplify complex information
−    Approaches to structure content for maximum impact
−    Gathering intelligence on one’s audience and why it matters
−    Delivery techniques to project gravitas and conviction.

Date: Thursday 10th December
Time: 11:30 - 12:30

Florian Speaking Florian Bay’s natural curiosity took him from studying Chemistry to the world of public speaking and leadership with a      career in the energy industry in between. His chemistry background taught him that everything can be transformed into valuable products under the right conditions. His energy industry career took him from nuclear power station control rooms to strategic analysis for the UK’s largest energy company.

 

He embarked on a journey of discovery in public speaking and leadership in 2013 by joining Toastmasters International.
