Workshop
During the workshop, participants will receive our best presentation tips, with customized examples and practical exercises. Choose between a half or full day workshop. On location or online.
-
Try-out session (optional)
Knowing how to do it is one thing, but applying this to your own topic and getting immediate feedback will ensure the very best learning experience. We do this in a small group during the try-out session.
-
Book (optional)
Our book ‘The floor is yours: Because life is too short for bad presentations’ contains useful presentation tips and useful tools. It is an ideal addition to this workshop.
Sample combinations
- A half-day workshop with 12 participants on location, with a few days later two try-out sessions in a smaller group (6 participants each).
- An online workshop from 9 am to 11 am, followed by two online try-out sessions in the afternoon with 6 participants per session.
- Organizations can also book just a workshop. In that case the full day workshop offers the most learning opportunities for the participants.

With a try-out session, the participants will have the opportunity to process our tips from the workshop and really apply them to their own research or project.
During the session they will give a brief presentation and receive feedback from the instructor and fellow participants. This will fully prepare them for that upcoming conference or research day. We provide a try-out session the day itself or a few days after the workshop. The combination of the workshop and a try-out session generally produces the best results.
