How can I make an impact in professional contexts such as small-talk situations at conferences?
What can help me in situations where I face an international crowd and how can I connect to
an interdisciplinary audience? The workshop "Make an Impact!" offers the opportunity to
enhance overall effective communication (verbal and non-verbal) in order to improve
networking and self-promotion opportunities.
Throughout the workshop, participants will be guided through interactive exercises to improve
their body language, as well as focus on the quality of their language content. The aim is to
develop strategies to make a lasting and positive impact on groups, colleagues, and significant
contact persons (networking). Trainer input will provide the opportunity to gain new insights in
effective communication and learn how to present themselves more effectively and to make the
best impression and strongest impact.

Target group: Doctoral candidates and Postdocs

Please note:
Due to a large number of very short-term cancellations and unannounced absences in the recent past we would like to point out again that registrations for workshops of the Graduate Academy are binding. Cancellations are only acceptable under imperative circumstances and need to be announced as early as possible. If this is not the case, workshop places that have become available cannot be given to individuals on the waiting list or the workshop cannot be cancelled in due course in the case of low demand. In this case high cancellation fees occur. Under these circumstances the offer of the Graduate Academy cannot be held up in the medium term.
