Group presentation tips

Presenting with other people can often feel even more of a challenge but, as with presenting on your own, proper preparation and organisation is the key to success.

How to work effectively together

  • Meet as soon after being set the task as possible in order to agree how the work is going to be allocated and when tasks need to be completed by.
  • Share the presentation out by topic/sub topic not time.
  • Schedule rehearsals that everyone can attend and time yourselves.
  • Introduce everyone who will be speaking and what sections they will be covering at the beginning of the presentation.
  • Listen to each other during the presentation. This helps people feel supported and makes your audience more likely to listen.
  • Ensure handovers are smooth and courteous. Tell the audience who you are handing over to and what they are going to cover.
