<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:12.0pt;mso-line-height-rule:exactly"><span lang="EN-US">Strong 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 Trees, maps, and theorems, 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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Communication goes beyond verbal skills which are important to the success of any job seeker. To brand yourself as a professional, you must deliver a consistent message in a Written, Verbal, and Virtual manner. As students
and postdocs begin to look for positions in engineering and science, both in academia and industry, they must be aware of how their nonverbal communication skills impact their possibility of finding employment opportunities. Learning how to maximize the use
of one's verbal and nonverbal communication skills is a powerful tool to help one achieve professional success, and a critical component for the future.
