Are you considering becoming a consultant? Perhaps you are already consulting, but want to learn more about how to work more effectively, get the best price for your skills or simplify admin work? Consultants use expertise gained from University research in order to provide services to external organisations.

Cambridge Enterprise is delighted to offer this free workshop in how to effectively manage consultancy projects, sharing expertise on best practice, tips on making life easier and trouble-shooting for some of the key issues faced by consultants. This is an ideal opportunity to develop your skills, providing a refresher for academics already acting as consultants or an introduction for those considering consultancy in the near future. Members of the Cambridge Enterprise Consultancy Services team will also cover how they can help to provide support throughout the process and explain the benefits of using their services. The workshop will include:
This workshop is designed for all levels of experience, whether you are already acting as a consultant or are considering doing so. We welcome applications from anyone who is currently employed by the University *BOOK YOUR PLACE VIA EVENTBRITE BY FOLLOWING THIS LINK* |

If you would like to refine your presentation skills, or address insecurities about any aspect of your speaking, these sessions are aimed at identifying the areas you need to focus on, be it at the micro level (elocution), the macro level (shaping an interesting presentation), or any point in between. During this one to one session, coaching will provide you with active practice, honest and constructive feedback, and practical tips to make you a more confident and effective communicator. Put yourself under the microscope, and you’ll be ready to step into the spotlight. You may find it useful to have completed the Presentation Skills online learning module before attending the session. |
