The In Focus event series is back at the School of the Arts!
The first event entitled Smashing your Presentation took place on 10th March. We hosted a fellow PhD graduate, skills coach and comedian, Dr Steve Cross, who delivered an entertaining talk about successful presenting. A brief outline of his talk can be viewed here and includes pieces of advice on what to focus on, how to engage your audience and calm your nerves. You can also view the slides here.
Some examples of feedback we received following the event include:
“It was engaging and relevant. More entertaining than I expected!”
“I found this event very engaging and informative. The speaker was well-chosen and approachable. I enjoyed the event very much and I wish it was longer.”
“Having a chance to gain some tips and advice from an experienced speaker was very useful for my future presentations.”
“I find that it is very good chance to meet PhD students from other departments.”
“I think the school should provide events like this more often!”
We plan two more In Focus events this academic year, so if there is a particular topic you would like to hear about, please let us know at pgarts@liv.ac.uk.
