"You get direct and constructive feedback on your presentation." (PhD student)

"Great handbook. Compact and useful." (PhD student)

"At the training, I systematically improved my presentation that I brought along. I had the possibility to give a short presentation that was documented by video so I can watch and improve it even after the training." (PhD student)

"It is great that you can immediately apply what you learned in this training." (PhD student)

"Very good way of learning. I could spontaneously apply the suggested improvements. I got many good ideas for new presentations." (PhD student)

"I was positively surprised. Although I have of course been instructed how to give a presentation before, it was never so precise. During the training I never had the feeling 'I know all this already'." (PhD student)

"Enthusiastic trainer, practical work on presentation was good, being filmed was really interesting and helpful." (PhD student)

"I liked the practical aspects, the atmosphere, the information about audience-related topics. Feedback was also helpful, especially on what the other participants did remember of my talk." (PhD student)

"It was amazing to see how quick I had improved my presentation during the training. At the beginning my presentation was probably mediocre, no big highlights or so. At the end of the training my presentation had a clear structure, was well organised and I presented more confidently." (Early-career researcher)

"In this training, I paid attention to my body language for the first time in my life. Very revealing and I improved a lot." (PhD student)

"This was by far the best workshop I ever attended. The content, the exercises, the experiences and approach of the trainer to teach us how to improve our presentations was excellent. I had three outstanding days where I learned a lot about how to present at an international conference." (PhD student)

"The course gives a concrete and direct instruction to improve almost everything in the way you present." (PhD student)

"Training is very useful and totally worth it. I enjoyed the combination of a relaxed atmosphere and intensive learning." (PhD student)

"Course was given with a lot of dynamic and we felt comfortable with the camera session very quickly. The ambience was friendly."(PhD student)

"As scientists we always focus on the content but we forget how the message is delivered: So, why do we do science? This training offers the possibility to think about aspects that we never focused on or retained important but it can make a big difference if we are at a conference because we have a message! Thanks!" (PhD student)

"The training has helped me a lot and I was very motivated to stay up until 2 AM last night revising my presentation to try to make a difference." (PhD student)
