Effective communication is a crucial skill for working successfully with individuals from different disciplines. This is a common challenge for any applied statistician, whether working in statistical consulting, as the sole (bio)statistician in a research team, or in a commercial environment. From clarifying the project’s objectives and potential challenges to explaining statistical concepts in an easily understandable way for non-statisticians, a statistician’s ability to clearly articulate ideas often determines the success of interactions with clients and other stakeholders. This interactive workshop will explore common challenges faced by statisticians when communicating and will help you develop practical strategies to overcome these hurdles through a series of hands-on exercises designed to enhance your communication skills and improve stakeholder interactions.
