Distilling information about yourself, your work, or your research into a short presentation can be difficult. There are many complexities in undertaking our work roles or research projects in the gerontology/geriatric context. Storytelling is a skill. This session aims to give you the skills and the confidence to present yourself or your work in a brief 3-minute engaging conversation. You will learn to unpack the crucial elements of your work/project, that is, what REALLY matters to other people and WHY you are undertaking the work/project.

The speakers will share their expertise, including practical tips. Participants will work in pairs to develop and practice their ‘elevator pitch’. Constructive feedback will be provided by the speakers and other supporters.
