Duncan Yellowlees | DY Training

Duncan is the founding member of DY Training who specialize in helping researchers to become more confident, happier and effective presenters.  In the words of Duncan:

"Duncan here, founding member of DY training. Getting you better at presenting your work is what we do.

I've been training presenters for over a decade and get really excited about working with research. There is so much fascinating and powerful work being done and I get to help researchers find their voice, enabling them to share it out to the world. I geek out about research storytelling and finding creative ways to engage audiences. Oh, and on the side, I hand make kitchen knives (no really)!

I'm also the founder of COMMunity - a peer to peer community for researchers who care about communicating their work in impactful and creative ways."
