In this episode, I talk with my long-time friend and frequent guest, Kaspar Rufibach, about a skill that quietly determines how much impact we really have: presenting and communicating our work.
We walk through how Kaspar prepares his talks (including why he starts months in advance), how he structures messages so stakeholders actually remember and act on them, and why overcrowded slides are often just a sign that we haven’t done the hard thinking yet.
We also get honest about something many statisticians feel but rarely discuss: the fear of public speaking, the frustration of bad meetings, and the “personal brand” you build every time you present—whether you intend to or not.
If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking “I don’t think they really understood what I meant,” this episode is for you.
