Group (and hopefully team) presentations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they are done well and flow smoothly (as shown above), group presentations may not attract much thought. But when done poorly they can stand out like a sore thumb, with different fonts and graphic formats, etc. Careful planning is needed.

 

At the Six Minutes blog on November 3, 2009 there is an article (a post) by Charles Stanton titled How to deliver group presentations: the unified team approach. He says you need three ingredients for a great group presentation: clarity (of purpose, of roles, of message), control (of introductions, of transitions, of time and space), and commitment (to a schedule, to rehearsing, and to answering your audience’s questions).

 

The November 2015 issue of Toastmaster magazine has a second article by Christine Clapp titled Multiple Speakers, One Message. And at DeFinis Communications on June 17, 2020 there is a third article titled Working with co-presenters: how to organize a team presentation. At Training Industry on August 5, 2021 there is a  fourth article by Janine Kurnoff and Lee Lazarus titled Team Presentations: Who does what? which discusses planning why, what, and how.
