Amplified Confidence

Trade self-doubt and uncertainty for self-assurance

When I was working on my PhD,

there were no courses on how to communicate the complicated ideas I was studying. I was not unique; none of my peers had these resources. Without such training, it is not realistic for you to be expected to communicate deeply complex research simply and succinctly.

I understand how difficult it is to summarize years of data and analysis into a few minutes or pages. This is why I have taught hundreds of people to communicate their research with coaching designed specifically for scientists and scholars.

Transform Complexity into Clarity to Gain the Competitive Advantage

Over 55,000 people graduate with their PhDs in the US every year. Surprisingly, fewer than 10% of them have received adequate training to communicate their research clearly to broader audiences. That’s why I customize my coaching and training to your needs and goals, so you will wow and win your audiences.

I understand that you have many demands competing for your time and energy. Research, teaching, service, publishing, grant proposals, mentoring. To meet these demands, you need to be empowered with top level communication skills that enable you to stand out from the competition.

Here’s how I can help: We start by designing a coaching plan that aligns with your goals and timelines. We work on the skills you most want to develop. Maybe you want your research to tell a story, or maybe you need to modify your jargon into plain language, or maybe your slides are confusing your audiences. With practice, each of these communication goals and many others can be realized.

Over the last decade, I have coached hundreds of engineers, scientists, medical students, and scholars.  If you want to communicate your research with clarity and enthusiasm for improved chances of impact, let’s talk.

“Marlit has the unique ability to make everyone in the room (or on the zoom) feel listened to, affirmed, and motivated to be their best self. For example, the skills I obtained from Marlit’s courses on “and, but, therefore” statements, presentation slides, and how to navigate Q&As have been instrumental as I prepare for my dissertation defense. It is without hesitation that I strongly recommend Marlit to others.”

“I would highly recommend Marlit to anyone who wants to communicate their research more efficiently for three reasons. First, I learned that scientists should not focus on themselves too much by taking her class. Instead, we need to analyze the audience and understand their needs deeply. Second, her course provides a safe place for students to experiment with different techniques in public speaking until we find the tools that work for us. Finally, Marlit is a dedicated instructor who loves to provide constructive feedback to current and previous students. My gratitude for her training at UVA lasts for years. “

“Before meeting Marlit, I felt insecure delivering a presentation or lecture in front of a public audience. Marlit taught me the importance of using simple language, therefore making my ideas accessible to the larger public. She also taught me how to keep my audience engaged and interested. Because of her mentorship and expertise, I have grown to become a stronger professional, both in my field of urban planning as well as in daily conversations and social exchanges. I would highly recommend Marlit for anyone seeking a mentor to help them develop and transform their communicative skills, because not only is she a subject matter expert, the level of care and time she invests in each person is unrivaled.”
