Speaking Help

Your good work is wasted if you are unable to communicate well. I can help you.

All the students seen here were selected to attend this international conference because of their superior academic performance. Nevertheless, most of them needed to learn how best to explain their work to other students.

I, Dr Judy Ford, have a great deal of experience to share and I remember how scary it was at the beginning! My experience includes presenting at many national and international conferences; presenting my research to local research groups (which can be scarier); 11 years teaching & training classes of PhD and other postgrad students, working as a professional speaker for five years (including working with business groups) and giving talks to Community groups (such as U3A and Probus) and other ‘special interest’ organisations.

Good communication has many important parameters. For example, you may face some issues with language,  ‘social parameters’, age and/or disability and quite frequently with the sound and/or visual systems you have to work with. Ideally you will have thought about these possibilities beforehand and have a ‘back-up’ plan.

Please contact me if:

• You are an individual who would like 1 on 1 coaching or support

• You are an individual who would like to attend some workshops that meet your specific needs

• You represent a group for whom you would like to organise some ‘specific’ training

• You would like me to give one or more presentations on effective speaking to your organisation.
