SUMMARY:Webinar: Communicating Technical Value with Confidence - Practical Skills for Rubber Industry Professionals
DESCRIPTION:May 5\, 2026; 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET \nWebinar Overview: Technical expertise only creates impact when it is clearly communicated. Strong communication skills are essential whether you are explaining data to leadership\, collaborating across disciplines\, presenting to customers or representing the rubber industry in professional settings. \nThis interactive webinar\, led by communication coach Leslie Ungar\, is designed specifically for scientists\, engineers\, technical managers and industry professionals. The focus is on translating complex technical knowledge into clear\, confident and engaging communication that builds credibility and opens doors. \nParticipants will learn practical techniques they can immediately apply in meeting presentations\, networking situations and virtual environments. \nWhat Participants Will Learn:\n• How to confidently articulate your technical role and value in concise everyday conversations\n• Practical strategies for contributing meaningfully in meetings even when you are not the primary speaker\n• Techniques for delivering clear impactful short presentations including technical updates and project summaries\n• How to structure technical content so it resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences\n• Best practices for effective PowerPoint slides that support rather than distract from your message\n• How to show up prepared and professional in virtual meetings and webinars \nWhy This Matters: Rubber industry professionals are often asked to explain complex materials\, data and processes to diverse audiences. This webinar helps bridge the gap between technical excellence and professional influence\, ensuring your expertise is understood\, trusted and valued. \nSession Format: This is not a passive webinar. Participants will learn through guided practice\, real time observation and practical examples. The emphasis is on application not theory\, so you leave with tools you can actually use the very next day. \nPrice: Free for Members / $99 Non-members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Leslie Ungar\, Communications Expert & President of Electric Impulse Communications \nBio: Leslie helps individuals and corporations supercharge their ability to identify and communicate their value. As a speaker\, Leslie ignites audiences to believe that they are their audience’s best solution. \nLeslie can help you identify your competitive edge to improve individual and company performance. She hosts a monthly PBS TV show called Forum 360: a Hollywood producer and a Mastiff are among her favorite guests! \nSure that words can change your world\, as a graduate student she wrote every Presidential hopeful about how they could improve their image as a candidate. Her undergraduate and master’s degree are both in Communication and Rhetoric. Her dad always wanted to know what rhetoric is!
