Presentation Skills

The webinar “Getting your message across” was conducted by Erik Mattsson before an audience of researchers, post-docs, PhD students and other university staff. Among the takeaways from the webinar was this:

“See presenting as playing a role, also allows for room to practice and test things. Focus on relevance for audience. Structure presentation in modules. Thank you!”

“To be flexible with modules. Very good! And a lot of good ideas over all. It is also very inspiring to see you working with a webinar – with a lot of interaction! Just perfect Erik, thank you!”,
