Problems with Team Presentations

Rushed Preparation

Individual Presentations Thrown Together

Lack of Team Mentality

Cliché Transitions

Is Not Preparing

Once Passed Round 1 of the Bid

Begin Planning, But Plan Wisely

First - Gather Logistics

Logistics: Time?

Logistics: Audience In Your Field or Outside?

Logistics: Room Setup?

Logistics: Who is Presenting?

Logistics: Audience Takeaways?

Next, Get Team on the Same Page

Discuss Talking Points

Remember to Be Audience Centric

Nobody Wants to Hear About…me.

Assign Who Will Cover Each Talking Point

Every Team Member Should Contribute

Ask - Does the Presentation Make Sense Once Finished?

How Will Transitions Be Handled?

Cliché Transitions are Not Effective

Delegate Who is Responsible for Developing the Visual Aid

If Everyone Develops Slides Separately, Presentation Looks Thrown Together

i.e. NOT A TEAM

Teams Practice TOGETHER!

Regardless How Much Experience Individually, Teams Must Practice TOGETHER

Do Not Rely on Notes or Script

How Will The Team Handle Questions?
