OLC Presenter Services offers mentoring for presenters. OLC mentors have experience with multimodal presentations and a variety of session types. New and veteran presenters, alike, find that working with a mentor enhances their delivery skills and promotes confidence in presenting.

Mentors can provide guidance on presentation style, slide design, audience engagement and inclusion strategies, evaluation of supplemental materials, identification of key take-aways, writing abstracts, and other techniques to ensure a successful session.

To request mentoring, complete the form below. Mentoring can start as soon as you sign up and continue through your presentation.
