Creating Convincing Proposals
Professional Working | Communication
Purpose of this workshop
To learn how to develop robust ideas and present them persuasively.
In work and study, you will often be required to pitch your ideas to other people. This workshop will help you develop the quality of your ideas and make them less vulnerable to criticism. It will also provide you with some tricks to increase your impact when presenting your ideas, enabling you to approach this kind of challenge more confidently and effectively. This workshop will help you develop and present ideas individually and when working in groups, for example when making group presentations or a research proposal.
Content of this workshop
The workshop provides you with experience of a number of processes to generate ideas and strengthen the foundations of these ideas. You will learn to ‘bullet-proof’ your ideas by using criticism effectively and reduce the possibility of ‘blind spots’ in your arguments. You will learn and practise techniques to present your ideas clearly and confidently, and how to persuade your ‘audience’ - e.g. lecturers, managers, customers – of the quality of your ideas.
By the end of this workshop you will have:
- learned to generate well-founded and credible ideas and proposals
- acquired techniques to strengthen your ideas against criticism
- practised ways of pitching your ideas convincingly to a range of people
Benefits for students:
- better reports and presentations, in groups or individually
- enhanced ‘pitching’ skills, to ‘sell’ yourself and your projects more effectively in an academic or professional context
- assistance with some aspects of research proposals
- increased confidence in presenting your ideas in academic and professional environments
