Description

Are you a knowledge professional who is struggling with your presentations? Do you want to take your presentations to another level?


This book is for early-career knowledge workers such as scientists, researchers, engineers and medical practitioners. The author explains how to plan and deliver an engaging and informative presentation. He describes what works and, along the way, topples some pervasive myths that will have you heading in the wrong direction. If you are chronically dissatisfied with your presentations, and especially if you are frustrated that nothing you try makes you any better, the lessons in this book will help you move ahead. If you follow the planning and delivery structure outlined here, you will soon find that you are more comfortable and more satisfied with your presentations and you may even find that you are enjoying your time in front of an audience. 


There are many presentation books for business and marketing. This book, Presentations for the Knowledge Professions, fills a niche for those who work in a knowledge-intensive profession where ideas derived from research and design dominate. Most books on presentations imply that presenting is all about style but, in the knowledge professions, substance is crucial. A high-quality knowledge presentation will offer the substance of solid ideas within the style of an engaging format.


Gavan Lintern is an experienced presenter with over 100 conference presentations and 20 multi-day workshops to his credit. As Associate Professor at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, as Head of Human Factors, Defense Science and Technology Organization, Melbourne, as Senior Scientist at Aptima, Inc, Boston, Massachusetts, and as Chief Scientist at General Dynamics-Advanced Information Systems, Dayton Ohio, Gavan has been responsible for helping staff develop and deliver quality knowledge presentations.  Although an accomplished speaker himself, he found it necessary, in his role as staff facilitator, to create and refine strategies for helping those who are inexperienced and lacking in confidence. He used that wealth of experience to develop his book on knowledge presentations.
