1 Identify your target audience

Before you prepare and deliver your technical presentation, you need to know who your target audience is and what their interests, needs, and expectations are. Research the background, role, and expertise of the potential mentors or sponsors you want to reach out to, and tailor your presentation accordingly. For example, if you are presenting to a senior manager who is looking for innovative solutions to a business problem, you might want to focus on the practical implications and benefits of your technical approach, rather than the details of the methods and algorithms. On the other hand, if you are presenting to a technical expert who is interested in the latest trends and developments in your field, you might want to emphasize the novelty and relevance of your findings, and cite the most recent and credible sources.

As a scientist, I have presented my research to a diverse audience, including experts in the field, scientists who are not experts in the field, and non scientists with an interest in the field. Each of these audiences requires presentations with different types and amounts of information. It is integral that I know my audience before I design the presentation for each to be successful. For instance, for experts in my field, it would be critical to focus on the implications of my research. For fellow scientists, it would be critical to focus on the different scientific approaches used in my research. It is always important to know your audience.

2 Deliver a clear and engaging presentation

The quality and style of your presentation can make a lasting impression on your potential mentors or sponsors, and influence their perception of your competence and credibility. To ensure you deliver a clear and engaging presentation that showcases your skills and knowledge, while also addressing the questions and concerns of your audience, you should use a clear and concise language that avoids jargon and acronyms, unless they are well-known and relevant to your audience. Additionally, it is important to use a logical and coherent structure that follows a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, with transitions and signposts to guide your audience through your main points. Visual aids, such as slides, charts, graphs, or videos should be used appropriately to complement and enhance your verbal message. To connect with your audience on an emotional level, you can use a confident and enthusiastic tone with body language that conveys your passion for the topic. Humor, anecdotes, or stories may also be used when appropriate.

Technical presentations to potential mentors or sponsors require strategy and consideration. Make sure your technical presentations are informative and demonstrate your experience and passion. Encourage audience participation and questions during and after lectures. Potential mentors or sponsors can observe your knowledge and skill to explain complex ideas. Express thanks and interest in continuing the conversation after the presentation. Get feedback to show your willingness to improve. Attend networking events and show respect and knowledge of these people. By showing your skills, enthusiasm to learn and respect for their insights, you can build a lasting mentorship or sponsorship relationship.

3 Invite feedback and interaction

The main objective of your technical presentation is to establish a connection and a relationship with potential mentors or sponsors, instead of delivering a one-way monologue. To achieve this, you should ask open-ended and relevant questions that invite feedback and interaction from your audience. Show that you are open to learning from them and collaborating with them by acknowledging and addressing the questions and comments from your audience in a respectful and constructive way. Provide your contact information and express your willingness to follow up with them, inviting them to reach out for further discussion or collaboration.

4 Follow up with a personalized message

After you deliver your technical presentation, it is important to follow up with your potential mentors or sponsors in a timely and personalized manner, demonstrating your appreciation for their time and attention. Within 24 hours of your presentation, send a thank-you email or message restating your gratitude for their participation and feedback. Additionally, refer to something specific they said or did during or after the presentation, showing that you paid attention to their interests, needs, and expectations. Suggest a specific action or next step that you would like to take with them, such as setting up a meeting, sharing a resource, or working on a project. Moreover, keep in touch with them regularly and update them on your progress or achievements. Seek their advice or support when needed and offer your help or expertise when appropriate.
