Authentic, Engaging, Clear: Your Thesis In 3 Short Minutes

In preparation for upcoming 2020 Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competitions such as the annual McMaster 3MT® competition, this workshop interactively addresses issues surrounding live presentations, suggesting do’s and don’ts, with specific attention to 3MT®. We discuss story-telling, trust, first impressions, citation, subtext, authenticity, articulation, stage presence, slide design, respecting your audience, admitting setbacks, and more. We analyze 3MT® case studies, including a Q&A session that includes former 3MT® finalists. We aim to arm you with tools and strategies to deliver your best 3MT®: skills that become lifetime assets for advancing your career! See YouTube for examples of previous workshops.

Speakers: John Bandler, Michelle Ogrodnik, and Erica Dao
