How can I make an impact in professional contexts, for example in small talk situations at conferences? What can help me in situations where I am confronted with an international audience and how can I get in touch with an interdisciplinary audience? The workshop offers the opportunity to improve general communication skills (verbal and non-verbal) in order to increase networking and self-marketing opportunities. The workshop focuses specifically on self-presentation in terms of voice quality, body language and verbal expression in academic and professional contexts. Participants will learn how to improve their self-marketing skills, increase their research and networking prospects and make the most of their intercultural and interdisciplinary communication opportunities.
