Content 

This workshop is about mastering a convincing presentation in scientific and non-scientific contexts and getting to the heart of one's own core messages. Participants learn how to capture the interest of their audience and hold their attention. The focus is on active exercises in body language, vocal expression and personality. The participants learn to integrate breath, voice effect and non-verbal language as supporting elements for a strong performance. Based on this, a quick-witted handling of critical questions can be trained. Individual feedback makes one's own potential visible, strengthens one's self-image in appearance and thus the sovereign effect in the outside world.

  • Presenting with confidence: what does that actually mean?
  • Supporting the intention of the performance through linguistic clarity
  • Creating and maintaining audience interest

Further Information 

Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
