Significant presence program; 8 strategic steps to succeed in sharing your clinical results and ideas! The 6 week personal coaching program to being heard.
Where is your presence at stake? For any clinical research subject which you think you should step up for. Those subjects you would walk that extra mile for. That's where your presence is at stake. Your presentation about the subject in:
- face-to-face meetings,
- teleconferences, video conferences,
- trainings, workshops,
- webinars,
- written quotations,
- budget negotiations,
- newsletters, websites,
- etc.
You present in many ways. From describing your company and capabilities in a clinical study quotation to leading a workshop at a global DIA meeting. Offline and / or online contacts are considered 'stages' to present your clinical results and ideas up on. With a stage I mean people present at a pre-defined time, with the expectation that your subject will be presented. More practically; there where your subject is listed on the agenda! Corridor talk and coffeebreak contacts are therefore excluded from this program. Instead, both parties planned a meeting to hear and get heard about subjects related to their role in clinical research.
Are you willing to step up for clinical results and clinical research improvement?
- are you a clinical research professional who invests in work as well as yourself?
- are you enthusiastic about your role within clinical research?
- do you want to add more value to clinical study results? In other words, are you driven by contributing to other people, like people's health, patient care, user friendliness and efficiency?
- and do you think you are not completely resonating yet with other people about your work?
With this significant presence program; 8 strategic steps to succeed in sharing clinical results and ideas, you'll get clear how to prepare for clinical study presentations. You'll learn to focus on what to present. And how to present that. Taking in to account your goal and the people you meet.
But, this doesn't automatically mean that you will always achieve what you aimed at. The result is that you will deeply know that your subject is understood and your message is heard by other people. You will give everything you can to the subject and from there you let it go. You are prepared to listen to opposite arguments or reasons to GO or NO GO. Because you were heard. You start to take part in discussions around the subject. Not rigidly defending your statement, but seeking for the best fit together, if necessary.
Practically, after you've shared your subject with your audience, you need to calm down to be able to really listen to the audience. You've made your point, so no need to defend; listen to the people present. Answer any questions, where possible, notice the language people use and slowly turn to an objective participant in the discussion. To get the best out of it for your subject.
Why do you need to take care of how to present your content to be heared?
Maybe you recognize this; you are dedicated to your work and its output and you know what it needs to advance. In fact, you would like to take the next step. But you can't seem to find the right arguments to convince your manager. You know the solution for a question / problem, but you can't seem to phrase the right answer to explain your solution. Somehow you seem to use too much details, or you wait too long, you can't find the right time, or you put forward the wrong focus, maybe you didn't dive into detail enough, anyway; other people find themselves lost in your story.
You would like to learn how to successfully present your knowledge, your added value in such way that even people outside your field of work can judge and discuss the subject. That people do come back to you. Of course you understand that there can be good reasons to skip or park your idea for the moment, but you aim for the recognition that other people grasped the question / problem from your perspective too. You want to be heard.
Can you change your presence significantly? Yes, you can finetune yourself. You can deliver your message by using the 8 strategic steps for significant presence, and get heard. And you can benefit from Maritza Witteveen's pittfalls and successes in convincing management, Clients and other clinical research functions. My background is in statistics and data management with taken opportunities to experience source data verification myself and work closely with Clinical Study Managers, CRA's, Study Nurses and Investigators. Amongst others I negotiated a good wage for my data management knowledge and skills, which gave me extra room too for accomplishments within my function. I wrote business strategy plans and discussed these with Management Team members. Business strategies to outsource clinical data management as well as to acquire a suitable off-the-shelve clinical data management system for the company. I managed to get a GO to hire clinical data management people. All by using the same secure steps as I used preparing my first business strategy plan. Which I finetuned together with every new accomplishment I (or we) wanted to make. And yes, it didn't always turned out the way I imagined up front. Often due to budgetary reasons. But I was heard and together we decided best for the moment. The 8 strategic steps gave me room to listen to other decision makers without leaving the presentation's purpose and my own way of sometimes unhandy big movements when I'm enthusiastic about the story.
