Uniquely Powerful Training Workshop with Award Winning Coach and Performance Storyteller Anna Conomos-Wedlock

Are you keen to apply for a fellowship but unsure about how to pitch yourself at interview? Enthusiastic about applying for roles inside or outside academia but worried about what impression you will make on the interviewers? Nervous about presenting to an audience?

In a world where communication is the path to success, being able to tell your story in an effective and engaging way is KEY to getting ahead and achieving your goals.

This course utilises powerful performance storytelling techniques and stimulating interactive exercises in group and one-to-one settings, to develop skill sets which can be applied both in virtual and real contexts. In this day and age both skill sets are needed as online interviews and meetings become the norm.

Sign up for two days of online practical, specialised training to develop successful interview and presentation skills and winning pitches tailored to the needs of postdoctoral and early career researchers.

Who is this seminar aimed at?

All postdoctoral and early career researchers in EPS and LES who wish to prepare themselves for interviews, whether that be for fellowships, lectureships or roles outside academia.
