Listen and get insights into Data Science & Presentation Skills in this talk with Margot Gerritsen, (Founder & Former Executive Director Women in Data Science (WiDS) Worldwide, and Professor [Emerita] Stanford University).

We talk about: presentation framing and motivation;  understanding your audience and the 2 - 3 messages you want them to remember; similarities between your presentation and writing a newspaper article; ending your presentation with a memorable takeaway; explaining where your data is coming from and how you look at the data; overcoming your fear of public speaking - you have nothing to lose, but you have something to gain; being honest about your data and the outcomes; practicing your presentation - the value of multiple dry runs; managing stage fright and anxiety; reducing presentation fears by inviting criticism early on - it will make you a better presenter.
