Workshop: Presentation skills for food scientists
How to Plan and Deliver a Clear and Engaging Workplace Presentation

Length: 3 hours

Workshop outline:

Food scientists and technical professionals regularly present information in meetings, as part of project updates, customer presentations and other workplace settings. Whether sharing research findings, explaining a technical issue or recommending a course of action, an effective presentation requires more than strong technical knowledge. It also requires the ability to plan a clear message, select the most relevant information and keep the audience engaged.

• Apply practical strategies to manage presentation nerves and appear calm and confident.

• Adapt their presentation style for online and in-person settings.
