Media Consulting

Media Consulting

My clients often discover that their projects require more long-term planning. Your research can benefit from the development and execution of a long-term science communication plan.

I accommodate these needs by offering ongoing consulting in three areas:

  • Public Speaking Training
  • Social Media Strategy
  • Public Relations Training

Public Speaking Training

The problems of today’s world demand that science cultivate better public speakers. However, most scientists receive little public speaking training. Scientific conferences are full of presenters who explain their science poorly and audience members who struggle to pay attention. 

Good public speaking requires a separate set of skills from writing. Even after you’ve acquired these skills, you may still need extensive practice and preparation to create good, memorable presentations. By preparing with a public speaking consultant, you can craft an engaging presentation that clearly shares your science and informs your audience.

I offer individual and group trainings.

Social Media Strategy

The majority of the American public now receives their news through social media. What does this mean for scientists and healthcare professionals? If you lack a presence on social media, you’re missing out on opportunities to engage the public every day.

However, without focus, social media can also quickly become a time-wasting distraction. By developing a clear social media plan, you can use these platforms reach new audiences and amplify your message.

Public Relations Training

Reporters call you to explain your science for an article. Camera crews come to your lab to interview you about a new breakthrough. What will you say? What will audiences hear? What will they remember about your work?

By preparing before your science hits the press, you can use this opportunity to maximize your impact.

UPDATE (August 2016): At this time, I am not available to take on new clients for consulting services.
