Talk the walk: Mastering the art of communication (GradProSkills workshop)

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. 

Advance registration is required. 

Talk the Walk Part 2 is the next step for those seeking to deepen their communication skills. In this more advanced session, we’ll dive deeper into the art of presentation, using theatre techniques to bring out the best in your communication style.

Through targeted exercises, you’ll refine your ability to use posture, framing, and pace to engage and influence your audience. These skills are foundational for connecting with your audience and leading the conversation, whether you’re presenting a project, negotiating a deal, or framing a persuasive narrative.

This hands-on workshop will help you tackle the nuances of verbal and non-verbal communication, learning how to express ideas clearly and with confidence. We’ll work on techniques that make you not just a communicator, but a compelling one.

With our theatre-inspired exercises, you’ll refine your body language, develop your voice control, and hone your storytelling skills. You’ll learn how to hold the room, adapt on the fly, and manage audience engagement with ease.

A quick reminder to wear bring your student ID and get comfortable socks or sock-like slippers.
