Conference Coaching
Do you want to win a prize at this year’s GGL Annual Conference?
This is how you can improve your chances:
Our workshop “CONFERENCE COACHING” by Dr. Stefanie Rummel gives you the chance to practice the role you choose, whether it is to present a poster, give a talk, or be a chairperson. Three elective training blocks will help you to improve your conference skills. You can register for workshops as you need them or for all three courses. (Register now!) Before the GGL Annual Conference, you will have an obligatory dress rehearsal session to fine-tune final details. These training sessions will help you to give clear, structured presentations in a more self-confident way. Before-and-after comparisons will allow you to see your progress. Working towards a real goal like the GGL Annual Conference will give you the chance to put your newly acquired skills to into practice right away. |
