Recognizing the critical importance of effective communication and presentation skills in

the professional development of its students, the Faculty of Pharmacy at Mansoura National
University organized with the supervision of the SWH a thought-provoking workshop titled
“How to Give a Bad Talk” introduced by Dr. Randa Hani. This innovative approach to enhancing
public speaking abilities underscored the university’s commitment to empowering its aspiring
pharmacists with the essential skills needed to thrive in their future careers.
The workshop challenged students to explore the common pitfalls and mistakes often made
in academic and professional presentations, with the ultimate goal of equipping them with the
strategies and techniques to deliver impactful, engaging, and effective talks. Through a series
of interactive exercises, constructive feedback, and insightful discussions, students gained a
deeper understanding of the nuances of public speaking, from crafting compelling narratives and
utilizing visual aids effectively to managing stage presence and fostering audience engagement.
By intentionally addressing the obstacles and missteps that can hinder successful presentations,
the Faculty of Pharmacy provided its students with a unique learning opportunity to hone their
communication skills, bolstering their confidence and positioning them for success in their
academic pursuits and future professional endeavors. This innovative approach to professional
development exemplifies Mansoura National University’s dedication to producing well-rounded,
