Making the Most of Your Presentation
Tuesday, January 16th, 1:30pm - 3:30pm, 10-250
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.

Dr. Doumont holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford. He specializes in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a unique engineering perspective.  More at www.principiae.be<http://www.principiae.be/>. Pre-registration requested via Careerbridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=60818>.

Successful Interviewing Through Body Language
Tuesday, January 16th, 2:30pm – 3:30pm, E19-202
This presentation will focus on research related to non-verbal behavior during job interviews, including the work of Amy Cuddy—a social psychologist who studies the effects of powerful and powerless postures.  Advice on integrating this information for better performance during job interviews will also be covered. Pre-registration requested via Careerbridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=60767>.

Negotiating a Job Offer
Wednesday, January 17th, 1:00pm – 2:30pm, E19-202
This workshop will examine the many variables that exist during the evaluation and negotiation process of Job Offers.  How do you know if this job is right for you?  Salary vs. Total Compensation will be looked at.  Strategies on the negotiation process will be discussed along with should you negotiate and “What Can” and “What Can Not” be negotiated.  These strategies are used throughout your career. This workshop is open to Grads, Undergrads, Postdocs and Alumni. Pre-registration requested via Careerbridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=60768>.

Creating Effective Research Posters
Thursday, Jan 18th,  1:30pm - 3:30pm, 10-250
Most research posters at conferences or in university hallways seem to defy common sense: from two steps away, passersby can’t read anything -- assuming they even get past the overcrowded layout. Posters are not magnified one-page papers. Based on Dr. Doumont's book Trees, Maps, and Theorems, about "effective communication for rational minds," this lecture discusses how to create more visual posters that get attention, facilitate navigation, and convey messages through strict selection, careful phrasing, and effective layout.

Dr. Doumont holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford. He specializes in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a unique engineering perspective.  More at www.principiae.be<http://www.principiae.be/>.
