Presentation Training for Academics by Echo Rivera
 

Hi! I’m Dr. Echo Rivera :)

I have a PhD in community psychology (Michigan State University). After 14 years of research/evaluation experience, I pivoted my career to help other professionals end #DeathByPowerpoint.

During my research/eval career, I realized most of us were spending a lot of time giving presentations…but we we never got trained to do them well.

As a result, presenters didn’t know how to engage their audiences with great presentations even when they wanted to.

Through my unique blend of experience in the research world and art/design world, I knew I could help.

Since 2014, I’ve trained hundreds of academics, scientists, and educators how to create the type of presentations they love to deliver and their audience loves to watch.

I look forward to helping you or your team create engaging and effective professional presentations!

with joy,
Echo Rivera, PhD

I’ve always been excited to share my research at conferences, or to broaden students’ minds in class. But now I’m also proud of the stories I tell with my slides, and that is all down to Echo” — Dr. Kathryn Klement

My training has helped over a thousand academics, researchers, and those who took the non-ac path:

👏 Create presentations that get rave reviews from students & colleagues.

🙌 Enjoy creating & giving presentations again (or for the first time).
