Episode 101 – From complex to clear: Elevate your presentations

As internal communicators, empowering leaders to clearly communicate business strategy, important updates and company values is a valued skill. How can we inspire colleagues and leaders alike to make the complex simple? This week’s guest and founder of Present Your Science, Melissa Marshall, has built a career educating scientists, engineers and technical professionals about how to present their insight. “The work matters,” she says, but as is discussed in the episode, so often we hear people say they’re simply no good at public speaking. Melissa says that there’s a toolbox that will help even the most anxious public speaker improve their presentation skills. And she has walked the talk – her own TED Talk, Talk Nerdy To Me, has been watched nearly three million times. So, if you’ve ever felt the trepidation of an upcoming talk, or struggled with distilling the complex into the clear, this is a conversation for you.
