Just because you work hard does not mean that you will attain awards.  Rather than waiting for it to happen, it is important to have a strategy to promote yourself and “put yourself out there”.  Develop your 1 minute pitch and present yourself effectively for awards, grants and promotions.

This workshop will look at:

• Asking for what you want
• Why waiting isn’t enough
• Using convincing language
• Self promotion
• Networking, mentoring and collaborating
• Putting yourself in the spotlight
• Media and other methods to communicate
