Thank you for your fun, wonderful and enriching presentation on giving
good science presentations at NYU SoM this past Tuesday...Your ability
to focus on the high-impact aspects of good presentations in general
and to incorporate the facets that are unique to giving memorable and
effective science presentations are invaluable to the young scientists
who attended. Your enthusiasm for the topic and concern for
the audiences' learning were also palpable and led to a highly
motivating atmosphere.
Seminar Participant, Mathieu Tamby, Ph.D.
Lisa B. Marshall is an expert in Communication and she is passionate
about it. She directed a workshop on the art of networking for
post-doctoral researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. She truly
understands what matters the most for scientist and researchers both in
academia and in the industry. She keeps her knowledge up to date by
interacting with professionals. I had a wonderful experience with her
personal training. I fully recommend Lisa B. Marshall.
Lori Conlan, NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education
Lisa is one of the few people I know who can
educate scientists about improving their communications at the
appropriate level. She understands their typical situations (job-talks,
seminar, conference speakers) and their typical barriers (too much
information, engaging the audience.

One
of the issues that our postdocs face is their ability to present the
work that they have devoted their lives to. Lisa, in her
specialty with scientists and science in general, is the expert in this
field. She has been working with us since 1997. She
has continually upgraded, reformed and improved all of her skills and
techniques and has brought them to our post-docs and we have plans to
continue our work with Lisa. She brings an enthusiasm, a
skill and a knowledge of science unequaled to those in the same
field...the results have been dramatic; especially with our foreign
nationals...

I just wanted to thank you once again for
your seminar at Jefferson. The postdocs and especially the
students seemed to really enjoy your presentation. I look
forward to working with you again next year.

I first attended one of Lisa's larger scale presentation seminars two
years ago and I was just blown away by the quality of her
presentation and the suggestions she had. The ideas that she
presents in her seminars are impressive... I learned alot of good
skills from Lisa in in terms of the design of the
presentation...the content of the slides, the flow, what makes a good
presentation from a bad presentation, where you should look and
how to interact with the audience...I've learned alot and I have really
enjoyed them...
Harvard University Medical School,
Professor of Cell Biology, Junying Yuan, Ph.D.
Thank you very much for visiting us
last week. The postdocs and faculty who attended enjoyed your program
last week. I think I learned as well. I like your
very lively style of presentation...there are already talks to invite
you in at another time, perhaps with another department together."

I would categorically recommend Lisa Marshall for any public speaking,
teaching or training program. She's more than capable, she's
sensitive to community values and issues.
Author / Lecturer, Peter Fiske
I heard Lisa give a workshop on scientific communication at a Symposium
for Post-docs in Philadelphia in 2006. I have heard quite a few
presentations on this topic and address it peripherally in my own
workshops. Lisa's presentation was the best I have seen - without a
doubt. Her style is humorous without being flippant, insightful without
being pedantic. She helps audience members discover their own speaking
styles and illustrates her points with very effective examples. Many
professors think that they are fully capable of delivering a valuable
and effective lecture on scientific communication (I've heard a lot of
them). I wish that instead they would engage the services of Lisa
Marshall. She's a real pro on this subject - and very reasonably
priced, compared to others I have seen.

The most important think I learned was how to better structure a
talk. In particular the concept of an opening and intro with
the specific examples. The section on the importance of
non-content issues (eye contact) was also important (I have heard this
before, but it was good to have it reinforced from another
source). The specific examples of how to do things were
especially helpful (e.g. the openings). This is why
we wanted to the slides: even after hearing them, they are not obvious
to us, and we'll need them as reference when planning our
own! I don't think there were any sections that I
would cut. I would strongly recommend this program.
University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine, P. Cohen, MD, Professor of Medicine
Your talks were a smash hit with me
and all of my colleagues with whom I've spoken. With regard
to the particularly beneficial elements, your points about
slides were especially useful, particularly the critique of "real"
slides. The advice regarding organization of talks
and the section on handling disasters were important areas nobody ever
helped me with...I would recommend this seminar with great enthusiasm
to colleagues elsewhere. And, overall, I think you
provided a valuable service that somehow is overlooked in educating
medical faculty. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Lisa B. Marshall is an effective, clear communicator who is capable of
teaching one of life's most important and elusive skills--public
speaking...I have been able to apply her tips and suggestions
and I can see a big improvement.

One reason her program was so well received was that her material was
fresh and far from generic, as opposed to the
material of many vendors with whom I am familiar.
Before the program, she solicited samples of
slides from our faculty and worked them into her own
presentation. The result was a highly customized program
with examples tailored to faculty in medicine.
Another reason our faculty enjoyed her presentation is the Lisa is
clearly "comfortable in her own skin." As a result, faculty who are
typically introverted and occasionally antagonistic opened up and
engaged in an easy give-and-take with her. This
inter-activity made the session fly by.

So many practical tips to overcome my problems, especially based on Lisa's experiences.
Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center
S. Harris - Seminar Participant
This entire session was VERY, very useful for me...everything today was
new, unique and exceedingly helpful. The Q&A tips were by far the
most beneficial. No one ever goes over this and it is SO
important. Disaster management was good too.
Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center
N. Clegg - Seminar Participant
Very practical and empowering. I found the poster delivery
example and tools for dealing with Q&A issues beneficial.
Thanks! Invite Lisa back.

D. Strauss - Seminar Participant
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at Genentech a few weeks ago,
and I though I might take you up on your offer of being a LinkedIn
connection.
Genentech, Inc. - Seminar Participant
I really appreciated the information in this session. I've had very few
opportunities to actually learn anything about giving good
presentations and I now feel that attending this event has brought me
up to speed. I will certainly use the tips in the future. Also, Lisa
was a very engaging speaker which made the talk fly by.
Genentech, Inc. - Seminar Participant
Entertaining speaker. Clearly presented ideas. I felt I learned something.
Genentech, Inc. - Seminar Participant
Engaging, effective and fun.
Genentech, Inc. - Seminar Participant
It was really helpful. I will try to improve my presentation according to the workshop. Thanks!

Very useful presentation and advice. Thanks.
BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corporation
M. Richter - Workshop Participant
I enjoyed Lisa's sense of humor and real life examples. It was clear
that she had a great deal of experience. The most beneficial was
the part of how to get audience's attention immediately and how to
appear passionate about your topic. I really liked the fact that
Lisa contacted me before the seminar to tailor it to fit my needs.
Genentech, Inc. - Seminar Participant
Very
useful advice. Lisa told us about some of the research that has been
done on what techniques are most effective for getting your point
across during an oral presentation, which I thought was pretty neat.
