Equality at the CRC

Holding presentations is one of the skills that are frequently required of scientists in their professional life. Effective (self)presenting in the way of showing your strength
and knowledge confidently and authentically at the right moment is an art - and a professional competence that can be learned. Whether you are at conferences, in
front of an academic committee, making a presentation or promoting a research project: the way you think about yourself and how you come across to others will
deeply influence your success.

In this workshop, the participants will learn about essential speech communication techniques and get the opportunity to practice speeches. Furthermore, it provides
insights into the use of positive language and the practise of successful self-expression. After an overview of classical rhetoric, speech structure and feedback
culture you will be able to practice and improve your presence and personal performance in an academic setting. You will learn to promote yourself and your
scientific work with confidence and joy as well as to develop strategies for making a lasting and positive impact on contact persons, audiences and in an academic audit.
Elements of the workshop will be:

  • Positive self-perception and presentation
  • Practice of clear and concise communication
  • Body language, embodiment and status
  • Clearing your mind: Meditation and holistic bodywork
  • Rhetoric theory and input on speech structure
  • Speech/presenting & coaching
