Lucinda is joined by Neil Thompson, founder of Teach the Geek, to explore how technical experts can enhance their presentation skills.

Drawing from his own experiences as a former engineer in the medical device industry, Neil shares insights on the common pitfalls technical professionals face when communicating with non-technical audiences, such as the overuse of jargon and a lack of empathy for the audience's understanding

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Use plain language and avoid technical jargon or acronyms that non-technical audiences may not understand. Instead, opt for simpler terms and analogies to convey complex ideas.
  • Remember that not everyone has the same technical background. Consider the perspective of your audience and tailor your message to their level of understanding.
  • Incorporate storytelling into presentations to make technical information more relatable and engaging. This helps the audience connect with the material and understand its relevance.
  • Clearly define what you want your audience to do after your presentation. Start with the desired outcome in mind and structure your content to lead to that conclusion.

BEST MOMENTS

"Technical jargon is a big issue. We assume non-technical people know these words, but a lot of times they don’t. We should use more analogies and simpler words to communicate effectively."

"If you're the technical person, you may not see it as part of your job to do that translation. It’s not until you want that promotion that you realise the importance of communication."

"Storytelling is really important. If you want people to follow what you're saying, couching technical data in the form of a story can help non-technical people understand."
