Popular workshop topics

  • Ideas and data alone aren’t enough for success. Stories and striking visuals are often far more powerful than data to help others – even and especially peer experts – understand, value, share, and act on complex technical information. 

    Practical training equips experts to craft the targeted messages, powerful stories, and high-impact visual explanations that are essential to engage and motivate peer experts as well as non-expert funders, partners, and stakeholders. 

  • Conferences, pitch presentations, stakeholder reports, or public engagement – scientific professionals rely on public speaking for success. To translate their ideas into impact, content experts need to be engaging, effective public speakers with clear, striking explanatory visuals and polished slides. 

    Training provides experts with a practical foundation in effective presentation design strategies for peer, investor, or public audiences as well as high-impact approaches for audience-centered communication and strategic visual design for clarity and lasting engagement.

  • When it comes to complex technical information, expert and non-expert audiences alike “decide with their eyes.” Peer reviewers, readers, and audiences use key conceptual frameworks and data visualizations to form first impressions, guide understanding, and make decisions about publication, grant funding, and sharing across platforms. Non-expert audiences rely on visual explanations to understand key details and their value. 

    Training provides experts with key principles, practical approaches, and best practices for crafting the striking, high-impact key visuals and custom polished slides they need to inform and impress their key audiences.
