Communication skills for scientists and technical people

Communication skills

Workshops tailor-made to meet your needs

Overview

We are infinitely flexible! We can sit down with you to plan one-off workshops designed specifically to meet the needs of your group. This workshop can be anything from a half-day advanced media course for your CEO, to an interactive 90-minute workshop for 300 people at a scientific conference.

Our workshops are designed to improve your skills in partner communication through presentations, written material and the media.

Are you interested in lifting your general communication skills? A popular workshop combines the main elements of our Media skills and Presentation skills workshops, to lift your general communication skills.

This workshop is particularly suited to you if you are a student, or a researcher involved in collaborative projects. It generally runs over two days and can include a session on basic writing skills.

Testimonials

“A very practical hands-on course covering public speaking and dealing with the media.”

Guy Roth,
Senior Lecturer,
University of New England

“Our cotton course students, who are mostly professional/trainee agronomists, benefit tremendously from the practical communication session that Econnect Communications delivers. We consider the workshop provides an essential grounding for the development of presentation skills and an awareness of the various media styles the students will encounter.”

Dr. John Stanley,
Course Coordinator,
Australian Cotton CRC

“It was very easy to take part - there were no really difficult things asked of us, therefore making it easy to be involved and gain something from the course - i.e. communication skills.”
