Workshop: How to Communicate Ideas Powerfully

A high-impact workshop series designed to give STEM founders the one skill no degree teaches: how to communicate ideas so powerfully that people want to build them with you.

Across these sessions, we’ll break down founder-grade storytelling, presence under pressure, and the psychology of building (and not building) teams. You’ll learn how to pitch more clearly, facilitate conversations that move people, and lead with the calm authority investors and collaborators trust.

If you’re building something ambitious at Oxford, this series will give you the practical tools to make people believe in it—and in you.
