Work shop: Body Language Thursday May 14th

The Female Faculty Network Twente is inviting you to a workshop on:


“Body Language”

Upgrading you nonverbal presentation


by Ariëlle Brouwer


on Thursday 14 May from 9.30 till 13.00 hrs.


in building the Drienerburght, the TSM-room



“Why do I have the feeling I’m not being taken seriously?” “How come they don’t listen to me?” “Why is that promotion not given to me?”


In presenting and profiling yourself and your work in the academic atmosphere, you might find that focussing on the content of the work is not always enough to make a good impression...

As a scientist, you are generally focused on the content of your work. Women, in general, also have a tendency to focus on the content. Yet, when talking about your work in a presentation, or during everyday work with your colleagues, your body might speak a different language! It can (unconsciously) send out signs that run down the quality of your story.


This workshop creates awareness and gives you clues regarding your personal body language, and will invite you to add some new skills to your repertoire. You will also learn what postures and positions are most useful (and impressive) during giving a speech in conferences, or a discussion during a public act.

You will practice with making short and powerful statements in order to influence people, and to make a good and powerful impression.


Upgrade your presentation!
