*Storytelling*
Storytelling is powerful. Its our oldest form of communication. Arguably, there have been stories as long as there have been humans. If you package your research comms as storytelling, you get a more engaged audience that wants to listen and will remember your key message

“But that’s the way talks have always been done!” – academia has a huge status quo bias, change is slow.
Embrace your rebellious side and go do your talks differently! Audiences get bored, so novelty is a big asset. And by doing it YOUR WAY, it’ll be more honest, authentic, and genuine.

*Am I allowed?*
- is a phrase we hear a lot from researchers.
We often assume we need permission.
Permission to be interesting, to be different, to be ourselves.
But know this: only you can give yourself permission, many of the things that feel like 'rules' aren't.

Presenting to small audiences
If there’s 6 people or less, then you have a very intimate setting.
Full on PPT to 5 or 6 people gets a bit awkward.
So instead, make it a conversation or discussion. Don't be afraid to throw out your plan if the context changes.

"by terminating billions of dollars in grants, and never rerouting that money to other grant opportunities, the Trump administration violated the constitution by not spending money in ways Congress specifically required through laws it passed on how research funds should be used." #HigherEd #phdchat

Giving a talk?
Don't let the tech take you by surprise.
Figure out beforehand: what kind of mic is it, should I bring my own clicker, can I just plug in my laptop, what is my backup plan? Be prepared - it helps with the nerves and gives you confidence.

Generally speaking*, avoid standing behind things.
Desks, computers, lecterns, we want to connect with audiences and having a literal barrier between you and them hampers that connection.
*There are exeptions to every 'rule'

Speed vs complexity
In a talk, the trade-off of speed and complexity is a fine balance...
Fast + Complex = Overload 😢
Slow + Simple = Patronising 😢
Fast + Simple = Broad understanding 😁
Slow + Complex = Deep understanding 😁 -

Remember: the slides are for the audience, not for you the presenter.
If you’re putting stuff on your slides to help you remember what’s next, try another way.
Presenter view in PPT lets you have notes for each slide, or cue cards work too, but best of all, learn the talk.

Being prepared is half the battle.
Know the key ideas you want to convey at each point in your talk.
The better you know the talk, the less nervous you're likely to be. When you rehearse, do it out loud, all the way through & and focus on the ideas rather than the precise wording.

The best presenters have found their own style. It's not about being the perfect. The goal is an engaged audience, & there's a load of ways to achieve this.
One person's talk may rely on skills that you don't use much, and vice versa. We all have our own skill set.

What do I do with my hands?
They can direct the audience’s attention to the right place, add emphasis to what you say, & provide variety to keep the audience engaged.
They can also indicate: big things, small things, precise things, vague things, contrasting things, & connected things.
