Summary

We need to speak not only in formal presentations in conferences but also in research group meetings, journal club discussions, supervisor's updates on our progress, funding our projects, preparing our thesis defense,...

Speaking skills have a tremendous impact on your career, enhance your credibility, increase your visibility within your organization, allow you to share why your work is important and exciting and interact with people to clarify some misunderstandings.

I must be precise! I want to be taken seriously!
