Yesterday I blogged about Group (and hopefully team) presentations. As some infomercials say - but there’s more. The Buckley School has an article on December 7, 2021 titled Three Tips for Better Group Presentations. Those are to:

 

Collaborate and coordinate in advance

Minimize the handoff [as shown above via a statue]

Pay attention when you’re not speaking

 

The Harvard Business Review has a second article by Allison Shapira on November 22, 2021 titled 3 Group Presentation Pitfalls – and How to Avoid Them. She says that three common missteps are:

 

Each slide looks like it was designed by a different person.

Presenters talk over one another.

Forgetting that you are “on.”

 

And three best practices are to:

 

Strategize in advance.

Practice as a group.

Deliver with confidence and authenticity.
