Editor's Notes
- How many of you have a STEM – science of engineering topic? Social sciences – business school Humanities – abstract? How many people are thrilled at the idea dof doing this?
- Hand on head The word “just” diminishes the content that follows “protector” word - a word that softens what you want to achieve. “I’m just following-up on my below e-mail…,” you are downplaying the importance of your e-mail and why you are reaching out. a subtle message of subordination, of deference. striking it from a phrase almost always clarified and strengthened the message.
- Discuss
- S – speak to their need. You know your audiences – what are their pressing issues? A – make it concete – pull on evidence and case studies So if you’ve developed a new methodology and are presenting to a health trust – even if it overcomes loads of problems – what are they going to be thinking? Training, existing systems

- The hero isn’t necessarily the good guy- It’s the person or product or process that is transformed. Why does your research matter? Who does it affect? What are you doing? What will you change?
- Who is your audience? It might be anyone, including a single influential person, a person or group affected by the problem, a community group, or the media. It may also change from day to day, as you talk to different people. Primary audience – targets of change? The hero? Or is it agents of change? Their teacher, their healthcare worker?
- Projection

- Voice – take breath – slow down. Allow yourself fspace to go up and down with yoru vocal tone.
