Jean-luc Doumont will return to teach his popular Seminars
on Presentation and Writing Skills

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Articulate,
entertaining, and thought-provoking, Dr. Doumont specializes
in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and
incorporates a unique engineering perspective. He trains and
presents at top-ranked universities, research laboratories,
major conferences, and companies. He holds an engineering
degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in
applied physics from Stanford University. Details below.

oral presentation skills are a key to success for engineers,
scientists, and other professionals, yet many speakers are at
a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be
in their work, they go at it intuitively, sometimes
haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results.
Based on Dr Doumont’s book
<i>Trees, maps, and theorems,</i> about “effective
communication for rational minds” this lecture proposes a
systematic way to prepare and deliver presentations. Among
others, it covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as
stage fright.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Papers
are one of the few deliverables of the work of researchers.
Well-designed, they efficiently allow each reader to learn
only what he or she needs to. Poorly designed, by contrast,
they confuse readers, fail to prompt decisions, or remain
unread. Based on Dr Doumont's book
<i>Trees, maps, and theorems</i>, about effective
communication for rational minds, the lecture shows how to
structure scientific papers, theses, and technical reports
effectively at all levels to get the readers' attention,
facilitate navigation, and, in this way, get the message
across optimally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
