WINS Training & Events
The main idea of our faculty career development programme is to give effective support and to connect female early career scientists. We offer regular career development workshops and networking opportunities.
The workshops are offered by experienced trainers in English and are free of charge for the participants. Zoom links for the online events are shared after registration.
They address female doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows at the Adlershof campus and participating research centres.
The Powerful Voice. Speaking with dynamism and power
One of the most powerful tools of communication is our voice, not only does it help us convey our ideas it also provides another way for our listeners to understand who we are.
For better or for worse, people judge our intelligence and our trustworthiness by our voice and the way we use it. For professional academics, this is key when it comes to presenting your research, giving a lecture, or putting your best selves forward in an interview.
This one-day workshop is designed to reach the target aims through active practice, individual and group activities, as well as vocal exercises based on Linklater, Fitzmaurice, and Alexander techniques.
After the workshop, you will...
- Be able to warm-up their own voice
- Learn proper breathing techniques
- Understand how to project your voice without strain
- Utilize pitch, rhythm, and pace in your speech
- Learn techniques to help you deal with pressure and stress
