Group Presentation Skills

As part of the Personal Communication Skills (PCS) we had a lecture today on group presentation. This is part of the build-up to our upcoming Strategic Marketing Success (SMS) assignment. This is a sample of how various subjects get intertwined with each other.
Tony Suckling from Tribelink was our coach for the lecture. Tony produces corporate conferences and events and also coaches board level presenters and speakers. His company organises presentations for companies.
Tony greeted each student individually as we walked into the lecture theatre. While we were settling down, music started playing and pictures of each of us started rolling across the screen. We were eagerly searching for our own pictures.
Tony had succeeded in grabbing our attention in a very unusual manner (and I guess, this was his first lesson to us, conveyed discreetly).
There were numerous pointers in store as Tony took us through a step by step approach to group presentations. Some of the observations were quite unique – for example, while preparing a group presentation, get a sample of the audience to sit with your team. This will enable you to understand what the audience needs.
It was another very useful session and we received many useful tips. It is now down us to transport this learning into the presentations due in December 2004!
