Learn how to systematically prepare and deliver a presentation with slides

1 Cyclotron Rd 70a 3377

Those of us who attend presentations probably agree that most slides out there are ineffective, detracting from what presenters are saying instead of enhancing their presentations. Slides may impress with decoration, but seldom with content. In this lecture, Dr Doumont will discuss what (not) to include on a slide and why, how to optimize the slide’s layout to get the message across, and how to handle slides when speaking. Workshop location: 70A - 3377

Guest Speaker: <a href="https://sites.google.com/lbl.gov/postdocprogram/guest-speaker-jean-luc-doumont" title="https://sites.google.com/lbl.gov/postdocprogram/guest-speaker-jean-luc-doumont" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jean-Luc Doumont</a><a href="https://www.principiae.be/" title="https://www.principiae.be/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.principiae.be/</a>An engineer from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford University, Jean-luc Doumont devotes his time and energy to training engineers, scientists, business people, and other rational minds in effective communication, pedagogy, statistical thinking, and related themes.With his rational background, he approaches communication in an original, engineering- like way that contrasts sharply with the tradition of the field, rooted in the humanities. He is thus well received by students and professionals in search of a method they can apply with the same rigor they have come to value in every other aspect of their occupations.An articulate, entertaining, and thought-provoking presenter, Jean-Luc is a popular instructor and invited speaker worldwide. Over the years, he has given hundreds of talks and workshops, in English, French, Dutch, and Spanish, at an array of companies, top-ranked universities, research laboratories, and conferences.
