WS 'Out with it!' - Training for voice, speech, body language for female scientists

Held by:

Katharina Padleschat, Coach for voice, speech and body language

Abstract:
You are qualified and competent – and your audience should hear it, see it and feel it.
People with trained voices, elocution and good body awareness lift themselves up from the masses and have a clear competitive advantage.
To leave the impression you wish – in lectures, presentations, interviews and meetings – it is necessary to know how to perform professional and genuine and very useful to be in control of your own „instrument".
In this workshop you gain a good basic-knowledge about voice, speech and body language, practical experiences and always individual feedback – to feel more confident and safe in future communication-situations of all kinds.

Main topics and tools:

• Theory of voice and body language
• Professional, natural breathing technique for speaking
• How can you take control of your voice and even play with it?
• Leave the impression you want
• Tuning mind set towards role and mission
• Professional steering of ones performance in teaching, discussion, presentation
• Dealing with dominance, reacting calmly and self-confidently
• Increase presence and charisma
• Practical exercises: individual / partner / small group, and camera feedback
• Learning by doing – with „head, heart and guts“

As a follow-up every participant may book an individual coaching session (online) with Katharina Padleschat.

Biography:
Katharina Padleschat studied acting, singing and dancing, taught for many years and “moved the actors across the stage” as a choreographer in theatres, so she intensively dealt with the topic of body language and effect. In addition, she often worked in recording studios as a speaker. She learned from excellent teachers what it means to deal professionally with the voice, speaking and breathing, e.g. from K. Buchali, S. Haeberlein, T. Strauch, U. Schürmann, lecturers from Roy Hart - Human Voice, D. Prawzik and last but not least with her father, Wolf Martienzen. In addition, she dealt with various speech training methods as well as breathing and singing techniques. From this she has developed her own methodology over the years.
In individual coaching or in seminars, she trains people from a wide variety of industries, including management, science, journalism, education, show business, management consulting, sales and healthcare.

WS Leading Successfully Despite Bias

Held by:

Dr. Sebastian Tillmann, Coordinator for Diversity in Science, University of Konstanz
and Marie-Claire Kabengele, Research Associate, University of Konstanz

Abstract:Project leaders are in a powerful position to influence both working groups and organizations. They are also faced with several challenges: To deal with the influence of interpersonal power on decision making, the influence of informational and cognitive biases as well as the lack or the overabundance of information, just to name three. In this training participants will:
-    Gain an overview of how human rationality and decision making is influenced by certain biases and learn approaches to minimize this influence.
-    Learn about the influence of interpersonal power on decision making and perception as well as problems of collective decision making.
-    Discuss “typical” gender and diversity challenges and exchange experiences with outer participating leaders as well as design first steps to address these challenges.
