Send us Fan MailAnyone working in health and science communication faces a familiar challenge: how to deliver presentations that actually land. Whether you are giving a webinar, a conference talk, or a TED-style lightning talk, strong presentation skills start long before you open PowerPoint. Tracy walks through a TED-style lightning talk built around a failure story and a counterintuitive choice: no slides at all. Katrina shares a moment from a recorded webinar where a story about language and audience targeting landed the opposite way it was meant to. We talk about why “perfect” is a trap in public health communication, how being human can actually build trust, and why now is the time to be brave when you speak.And finally, we share a practical social media tip you can use today to expand your reach.Tracy's talk (Episode 16): https://www.buzzsprout.com/2452091/episodes/19211516 Graphics: https://www.t4cip.org/safer-storage~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This podcast is a project of the Center for Injury Research Translation and Communication (CIRTC).
