If you’re a PhD student, you probably started your research because you have a passion for your topic. You want to dig into it and get stuck in. But you quickly realised that doing a PhD is not just what you know, but about COMMUNICATING what you know...and that might thrill you a bit less. Nerves. Sweaty palms. Foggy thoughts. Tangents and rabbit holes. Blank stares and yawns.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place!
This page is for PhD students who want to:
💡Speak about their research with clarity and confidence
💡 Communicate complex ideas WITHOUT dumbing them down
💡 Beat impostor syndrome and show how competent they really are
💡 Not put their audiences to sleep whilst doing so.
I’m Priscilla Leigh — author of How to Smash the 3-Minute Thesis and The Young Leader’s Guide to Public Speaking.
I help PhD students and researchers become confident, compelling communicators — as a psychoaudiologist, I help you understand how the auditory system of your audience works, so that can inform your communication.
If you want to feel more confident, more in control, and finally proud of how you sound when you talk about your work — follow along.
You're doing brilliant work, and the rest of us want to hear it. Everything here is designed to help you reveal your research well, so we the world, can revel in it!
