Presentation Coaching Services for Scientists and Engineers
My Expertise
As an Adjunct Faculty member in the Materials Science & Engineering Department at Cornell University for a decade, I developed an experiential capstone senior research course that heavily focused on professional skills development including presentation skills. I also created and taught a public communication of science course at Cornell. As the former Education and Outreach Director for PARADIM, an NSF-funded Cornell research facility, I brought presentation skills training to the Research Experience for Undergraduates program. This effort, which is still ongoing, is much appreciated by students and lauded by the National Science Foundation.
My Services
I offer workshops and webinars on best practices for science/engineering communication and presenting, with a focus on developing the speaker’s ability to tune their presentation to the knowledge of audience members. Since presenting is a practice, skill development requires active engagement. The real learning comes in one-on-one coaching. Once the slide deck is set, the coaching shifts to developing the presenter's speaking skills. I offer presentation coaching packages for academic and corporate clients.

"I’m excited more people will learn from you! I’ve been able to use and reteach all the presentation and communication skills from your public communication of science class at work. Thank you for giving me the skills and continued passion for communication." -- C. John Eom
"Professor Nucci's class, Senior Lab, was one of my favorite courses during my time at Cornell. She instilled in me strong presentation skills which I still use to this day. Her method of creating clean but powerful presentations has helped me deliver compelling presentations both in my career as a consultant as well as in business school. I have received praise for my ability to craft a story that is both creative and logical - I have Professor Nucci to thank for helping me with building this key skill. Professor Nucci has been a great mentor to me and I look forward to learning more from her." --Chandreyee Mukherjee
