This is the second session in the Evaluation Masterclass series. You do not have to attend all of the sessions.

This more practical session builds on the introductory ideas of session one, providing you with the tools to conduct effective and meaningful evaluation of your public engagement activities. We will explore resources available and how they can be best used to assess your measures of success.

There are lots of times when we have to convey who we are and what we do; in job interviews, meetings, presentations or even just socially. Many of us undersell ourselves and our achievements, blend in to the crowd, or struggle to fit everything into one cohesive narrative.

Well, storytelling can help you create and convey your personal brand.

Personal branding is an exercise in finding your uniqueness, building a reputation on the things you want to be known for, and then allowing yourself to be known for them.

In this training, you鈥檒l learn how to define your personal brand, and communicate that effectively through writing, presenting, images, websites and social media. You鈥檒l do exercises which will help you see yourself from an outsider鈥檚 perspective, identify your strengths, and be given the tools to make you the hero of your own story.

You'll leave this workshop with the skeleton structure of your career story that can be used at job interviews, presentations and networking events, along with a handful of storytelling tools that can be applied to all sorts of writing and presenting in the future.

This is the final session in the Evaluation Masterclass series. You do not have to attend all of the sessions.

This final session will explore the types of data you can yield from evaluation methods, and how you can best analyse this. We will explore key data analysis tools and how to draw insights from this data in order to answer questions about the success of your public engagement activity.

Podcasting can be a powerful tool to engage with difficult-to-reach audiences, expand professional networks, and become established as an authority in your field. In this training, you'll learn about the tools you need to create compelling podcasts about research, to engage with different audiences, and increase your overall impact. As well as discussing the creation of an engaging narrative, this session will also teach you all the practicalities of audio production you need to get started on your own.
