CROSSING Workshop “Make Yourself Heard: The Power of Presence in Presentations"

Organizer: Olga Sanina

Abstract

A strong presence is one of the most influential factors in winning an audience. In this workshop, the participants will learn practical tools to “step into” their uniqueness and harness the potential of their authentic selves in order to create an effective and powerful presence.

The psychological background of this workshop is informed by transformational coaching and is combined with acting exercises and techniques that help develop their voices, body language, and ease in front of an audience.

We're thrilled to announce this workshop for CROSSING female* scientists with Francesca Carlin. The event will take place on the 29 and 30 of January 2024 at the Collegium Glashütten hotel.

This is a special opportunity with only limited places available, so we would like to make it the most useful for the biggest amount of women possible. Please, write an email administration@crossing.tu-… by 26 November 2023 if you are joining the workshop. Fees will be covered by CROSSING.
