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.

The 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.

It is designed to improve your skills in:

  • presenting

  • writing

  • dealing with the media

Do you want to lift your general communication skills? A popular workshop combines the main elements of our Talking science with the media and Presenting science workshops.

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.

“It covered exactly what I wanted to get out of it. 1. Structure - I like the ideas presented about structure & we even got a chance to have a go at it. 2. Confidence - the activities were confronting but definitely helped with confidence.”
