Ever wish you could have a communication expert at your elbow while you write or develop a presentation?
Now accessing that kind of help is as easy as signing up for an ad hoc coaching session.
Each virtual session is one hour long. You can use that time to brainstorm ideas, review a draft, or explore ways to improve your writing productivity and confidence.
“Dawn took time to individually look at our pitch deck and our one-pager and offer substantial and insightful comments.... It was 10X more than we had bargained for. Dawn brings this wealth of knowledge and experience that is unparalleled. Usually, the feedback we get is a mile wide and an inch thick. With Dawn, it's a mile wide and a mile deep.”
Knowledge Translation Training
Group programs connect you with a community of peers, like-minded researchers who want to go beyond sharing information and learn how to communicate for impact.
Together, you'll explore the art and science of clearly communicating your research findings to audiences outside the academy. But don't worry about getting bogged down in theory. The workshops are light on content and heavy on practice and personalized feedback. You'll leave with specific skills you can use to navigate the communication situations you face.
Communicating with Government & Industry
Learn how to speak the language of business leaders and policy-makers and present information in ways they find persuasive. Ideal for graduate students and early-career researchers.
Communicating for Health Innovation
Improve your ability to help practitioners put your clinical research into action. Discover communication strategies and techniques to improve uptake in the field.
Networking Success
Gain the poise and confidence you need to network successfully with people from the world outside the academy.
“I can't say enough how above and beyond this program [Communicating with Government and Industry] went beyond my expectations. I have taken some knowledge translation courses, but what I really liked was how Dawn had everything organized in terms of different formats--tips and tricks for blogs, infographics, presentations, you name it.
The part I really liked was the personalized feedback. Dawn was very approachable and got to know what all our projects were, and she has a ton of experience, so she can relate to different things.
If someone is looking for a program to make your research live, I would absolutely recommend this.”
