Being prepared is half the battle.

Know the key ideas you want to convey at each point in your talk.

The better you know the talk, the less nervous you're likely to be. When you rehearse, do it out loud, all the way through & and focus on the ideas rather than the precise wording.

Storytelling is powerful.

It’s our oldest form of communication. Arguably, there have been stories as long as there have been humans.

If you package your research comms as storytelling, you get a more engaged audience that wants to listen and will remember your key message.
