Technically-inclined professionals typically deliver technical presentations. We hear it repeatedly from the executives we coach: they face challenges in conveying technical information to laypeople or others who lack the same scientific background. They often face significant communication gaps when presenting to individuals outside their expertise and the listeners are left feeling overwhelmed or “lost in the weeds.”
The key is finding a way to effectively communicate without “dumbing it down.”
Conveying important scientific information is critical for success in any technical field. Professionals at all levels must speak clearly, confidently, persuasively, and with appropriate technical and scientific content. Clearly explaining the science in non-technical terms is essential when you are:
- Providing strong, motivating leadership
- Delivering key messages effectively both downstream and upstream
- Promoting scientists as leaders
- Explaining messages in public
- Raising funds
- Building partnerships
- Creating culture
It all begins with a mindset shift and focused attention on both non-verbal communication and delivery style. In this e-book, we will introduce you to tools and techniques you can immediately use to become a more effective communicator.
