Feedback from „Effective Presentations Seminar“ at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in February 2023:
„Dear Steve, without exaggeration, this was one of the best seminars I ever had! Thank you so much again – not just for the seminar and these super helpful tools but also for presenting a living example of what it means to practise while working.“
„This workshop was indeed life-changing: I cannot listen to a talk anymore without thinking about the criteria we learned. Instead of being afraid I really do anticipate my next talk and look forward to have the chance to try some of the very supportive techniques we were able to learn in a short time. And, indeed, it makes my life much easier: Two days with Steve encouraged me to trust in my skills! Highly highly recommendable.“
„I have learnt many useful techniques during the workshop, which I am looking forward to implementing in my next conference presentation. I found the practical elements of the workshop particularly helpful, as I as able to try out new methods in a safe and supportive environment. This helped me to build up confidence and I am very grateful for that.“
Feedback from „Effective Presentations“ Seminar held at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in May 2022:

Feedback from „Effective Presentations“ Seminar at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in March 2022:
„Seminar Success: thank you again for your great seminars! I began my last two presentations with questions (different questions, different introductions). It felt still a little bit weird but it was a great success. The feedback was really good.“ Leonard
