3 Group Presentation Pitfalls — and How to Avoid Them

• Allison Shapira

Strategies for a polished, unified final product.

Putting together an effective group presentation takes teamwork and coordination so it doesn’t look like a patchwork quilt. And yet, many of us never budget the time to fully prepare. The author outlines some of the common mistakes people make in group presentations and offers best practices to keep you on track. 

Many of us have experienced poor group presentations. If you’re giving one, it’s the last-minute scramble the night before to decide who is presenting which part of the presentation. If you’re observing one, it’s the chaos of hearing multiple people talking over one another or, even worse, simply reading their slides word-for-word and ignoring their audience.

A Guide to Effective Group Presentations + Free Checklist ✨

Picture this, it is the morning of your big group presentation.

You and your team have put in many late nights, working on slides, rehearsing lines, and fine-tuning every detail (if only, sigh). As you gather in the conference room, there’s a mix of nerves and excitement in the air.

You’ve got a solid plan, but there’s ALWAYS that lingering doubt: will everything work according to plan? Will everything go off without a hitch?

We’ve all been there, the anticipation, the hope that all your hard work pays off. Group presentations can be tough to pull off. But with the right strategies, and a bit of know-how, you can transform your next group presentations into a success story.

Most of the challenges surrounding group presentations revolve around navigating the dynamics of a team presentation, and ensuring a smooth, cohesive delivery. This requires careful planning and practice. In this guide, you’ll learn tips and strategies to nail your upcoming group presentation.

How to Get Started on Your Group Presentation

There is a different dynamic to group presentations because different individuals bring with them different ideas. Here are some basics on getting started with group presentations.

Decide How You are Going to Collaborate

First things first. Decide how your team and you are going to collaborate on the presentation material. If you’re using MS Word, you can easily save a document and share its link with team members. And each member can then work on the same document, on the specific subject that they’ve been assigned. Alternatively, you can also use Google Docs.

When it’s time to create the slides, PowerPoint has collaborative features that you can put to good use.

👉 First create a PowerPoint file.

👉 At some point you need to decide what your slides should look like. You can check out SlideBazaar’s choice of presentation themes, or work on slide designs from scratch (which will take more time).

👉 If you’ve already worked on the content for the slides on a Word file, you can divide the work in PowerPoint for each member as well. To do this, go to the outline view on the left, and create sections for each team member:

To create sections, simply right click a slide, and click on Add Section, and name your section. You can even right-click the area between 2 slides to create a section.

Once you’ve created sections, each member can work on the section assigned to them.

👉 But be sure to lay down some ground rules on what kinds of fonts, images, etc. are allowed. This is to maintain a visual consistency across the entire presentation.

👉 Now all you have to do is share the file with your team and let each member work on each slide.

How to Nail the Slideshow Part of Group Presentations

Now when it comes to preparing the content for your group presentation, the slideshow, there are some things that you should keep in mind:

Know Your Audience, Understand the Objective

Before creating content, take a step back and clearly define your target audience and the goals you want to achieve with your group presentation. Tailor your content, language and visuals around them, for a better presentation.

Visual Appeal

Create visually engaging slides that complement your presentation delivery. You can spend time working on the design of your slides, or use templates or themes, like those found on SlideBazaar, to create stunning presentations in no time.

Content Quality

Proofread the content in your slideshows. Make sure your slides are organized well. You may also want to rehearse presenting the entire slideshow, while recording yourself. Watch the recording back to ensure your slideshow has a logical flow, and that the content in your slides is easy to understand.

👉 Pro Tip 1: Never fill your slides with too much text. You are not supposed to read aloud from the slides. These slides are meant to support your presentation. 👉 Pro Tip 2: To ensure seamless sharing and distribution of your presentation after rehearsal and finalization, consider converting your PowerPoint slides to PDF format using an online PPT to PDF converter . This not only preserves the layout and design integrity but also makes it easier to share across different platforms and devices without the need for specific software.

A good rule to follow is Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule. Have less than 10 slides, spend 20 minutes presenting them, and don’t use font sizes smaller than 30 pts. This ensures that your presentation is short, concise, and does not have too much text.

Presentation Delivery – Useful Tips

Nonverbal cues and stage presence.

Pay attention to your posture while presenting. Maintain good posture, and don’t forget to make eye contact with your audience. Use natural hand gestures to emphasize your points.

Speak loud enough for the audience to hear. You can also try varying your tone to keep the audience engaged. Remember, even silent team members that are with you, contribute to the overall impression through their body language and attentiveness. So, make sure you’re all standing with good posture, and look relaxed and confident.

Transitions and Handovers

When presenting as a group, seamless transitions between speakers are crucial. Practice clear handoff cues.

Handoff cues are signals or actions used to coordinate the transfer of responsibility from one person to another. These could be either verbal or non-verbal, and are needed to maintain a smooth flow during your group presentation.

Here are some examples of handoff cues that you can use:

Verbal Cues:

• Introduction: Now, I’ll hand it over to [NAME], who will talk about [TOPIC].
• Summary and lead-in: Now that we’ve covered [TOPIC], I would like to invite [NAME] to expand on [NEXT TOPIC].
• Question prompt: To answer this question, I’ll pass the stage to [NAME].

Non-Verbal Cues:

• Physical gesture: A nod or a smile towards the next speaker.
• Movement: Stepping aside to physically clear up space for the next speaker.
• Eye Contact: Making eye contact with the next speaker to signal it’s their turn.

Visual Cues:

• Props or clicker handoff: Passing the clicker or a relevant prop to the next speaker.

Addressing Questions as a Team

Designate a team member to manage the Q&A session or establish a system for fielding questions. This ensures all inquiries are addressed effectively and avoids confusion for the audience.

Common Challenges You Might Face – And Solutions

Here are some of the most common challenges people usually face with group presentations:

Coordination

Problem: It’s a challenge to coordinate schedules and align everyone’s availability for meetings and rehearsals.  

Solution: One way to fix this problem is to use tools like polls or Google Calendar to find times that work for everyone. If you’re all in one group chat, add a poll, and ask your team members to vote on a time and date that they’re available. Try to finalise a time that everyone’s available, and set regular meeting times and dates in advance to allow team members to plan accordingly.

Communication

Problem: Miscommunication or lack of clarity can lead to confusion among team members and can cause inconsistencies in the final presentation.

Solution: Make sure you establish clear channels of communication, such as a group chat, to facilitate ongoing discussions and updates. Document important decisions and action items in these channels to ensure everyone on your team is on the same page.

Unequal Contribution

Problem: Balancing workload and ensuring everyone contributes can be difficult.

Solution: One of the first things to do, is assign specific roles and responsibilities to each team member to ensure a fair distribution of tasks. There should be regular check-ins with team members to assess progress and address any concerns about workload distribution.

Creative Differences

Problem: Creative differences and disagreements can arise in groups.

Solution: Your meetings can have brainstorming sessions where every team member can openly share ideas and provide feedback. Focus on finding a common ground, and compromise to reach consensus on the decisions you make.

Time Constraints

Problem: Tight deadlines can add pressure, which can impact the quality of the final presentation.

Solution: Break down your presentation project into smaller tasks with clear deadlines . Prioritize tasks based on urgency, and allocate time for regular progress checks to make sure you’re all on track.

Nervousness and Performance Anxiety

Problem: Some members may struggle with anxiety or nervousness, affecting their ability to deliver their parts of the presentation effectively.

Solution: Offer support and encouragement to team members who may be struggling with presentation anxiety. Make sure they get to practice their parts enough. The rest of the team can also pretend to be the audience, if they want to practice in front of people.

Additional Tips for Success

Embrace technology:.

Instead of assigning someone to click through your slides, you can use a clicker, or even a wireless mouse. If you’re using a wireless mouse, make sure you only click through your slides, and do not accidentally move the mouse about.

However, the simplest way I’ve found to move through the slides in your presentation, is to just use your phone. If you have an Android, install PPTControl and its desktop client (search for PPTControl Desktop in the Microsoft Store). Once done, simply connect the app to your device, and you’ll now be able to control the presentation using your phone. It’s super useful!

You can also use other tools like polls, quizzes, and more to keep your audience engaged throughout your presentation.

Time Management:

You should be mindful of the allocated time for your presentation. There’s a quick way to keep track of time during your presentation. You can either do this during rehearsals, or during the actual presentation.

Click on the Windows button on your keyboard and search for “Clock”.

Click on Clock, and in the sidebar of the app, find and click on Stopwatch.

Now just above the stopwatch, click on the Keep on top button.

You now have an onscreen, floating timer. Place it somewhere on the screen as you practice or during your presentation, to keep track of time.

Oh and, one more thing. Here’s a group presentation checklist for you to make sure everything is on track.

Group Presentation Checklist

• Establish clear communication channels for the team.
• Pick a tool (polls, Calendar), to schedule meetings and rehearsals.
• Assign roles and responsibilities.
• Define target audience and presentation goals.

• Presentation

If we consider the research and writing part of a presentation, then a group presentation doesn’t seem that different from a single-person presentation. 

If you wish to deliver a successful presentation, you still need to put in a fair deal of individual research, writing, and practice. Even for the presenting bit: when you speak, the onus of delivering a great speech, as well as the audience’s attention, is going to be on you. 

However, a group presentation is significantly different from a normal presentation. 

While you’ll still have to do your own research, the amount of research you’ll have to do will probably be decreased, as the research material will be divided amongst all the members. Practice and delivery of the speech will not be merely an individual thing: you’ll have to work and synch it with the rest of the group.

Moreover, while it might seem that the individual responsibility is going to reduce if you’re delivering a presentation with more than one person, often the case is quite the opposite. This is because if a single person messes up–or simply doesn’t wish to put in as much effort as the others–the repercussions are going to be faced by the entire group. 

However, group presentations don’t necessarily have to be a difficult thing. Think of your most favorite sports team: what makes the team the best? What makes them stand out from other teams? How are they successful?

The answer for what makes a sports team the best isn’t much different from what makes a group presentation the best: 

Advance planning and division of work, having a strong leader, fostering a sense of comariderie between group members, as well as staying vigilant and supportive on the big day are the key to delivering an awesome group presentation.  

And the goal isn’t as tough to achieve as you might think. 

Stick till the end of this article to find out! 

What Is A Group Presentation?

A group presentation is a collaborative exercise in which a team of speakers works together to create and deliver a presentation on a given topic. The number of members in a group presentation can range from anything between two to over ten! Group presentations are used in a variety of settings like school, workplace, colleges, seminars, etc. 

While the task of presenting with a group of people might feel daunting, especially if you identify as a lone wolf, group presentations can be a great learning experience and teach you how to better navigate the task of dealing with a multitude of people with a multitude of opinions and experiences. 

By keeping in mind a few things, group presentations can be delivered just as efficiently as single-speaker presentations.

Is A Group Presentation For You? 

To decide whether you should deliver a group presentation or not, you need to decide whether the pros of a group presentation outweigh the cons for you. 

Group presentations are great because they decrease workload, increase efficiency, improve the quantity and quality of ideas, and also provide you with experience to work in a group setting. 

However, there are a few fall-backs to group presentation as well. 

Sometimes, a few group members might not work as hard as the other ones, thus increasing the workload on the other members. Also, group members might have different ideas and opinions, which can cause clashes within the group. Coordinating between the group members might be a problem. And if you’re a shy person, you might find it difficult to speak out and voice your opinion in front of other group members. 

So, there is no single answer to whether you should do a group presentation or not. Weigh in the pros and cons of doing one before making your decision. 

Tips For Delivering A Group Presentation: The Preparation Stage 

1. Decide On The Purpose Of Your Presentation

First and foremost, you must determine what is the purpose of your presentation. It might seem like a redundant step, but trust me: it’s not. You’ll be surprised by how different people perceive and understand the same topic.

So, say you’re delivering a research paper on the topic “The Effect Of The Coronavirus Pandemic On Street Animals”, sit down together and ask your group members what each individual person thinks the topic is about and the points they feel we need to include in it.

If possible, one member can jot down all the points that the other speakers make, and once all the members are done talking, you can come to a consensus about what to and what not to include in the presentation. 

2. Choose A Presentation Moderator 

In the simplest terms, the presentation moderator is the designated “leader” of a group. That is, they’re the one responsible for the effective functioning of the group, and to make sure that the group achieves their shared purpose i.e giving the presentation.

They sort out any potential conflicts in the group, help out other members when they ask for guidance, and also have the final say on important decisions that the group makes. The best and the simplest way to select the presentation moderator is by vote. This will ensure that every member has a say, and avoid any potential conflicts in the future. 

3. Divide The Work Fairly  

The next step is to divide the work. The best way to do this is to break your presentation into equal parts, and then to assign them to group members. While doing so, you can keep in mind individuals’ preferences, experience, and expertise. For example, if there are three people, you can divide your presentation into three sections: the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Then you can ask which member would feel more comfortable with a particular section, and assign the sections accordingly. In case of any overlap, the individual members can be asked to decide themselves who’s the better fit for the part. Alternatively, if the situation doesn’t seem to resolve, the presentation moderator can step in and assign parts randomly to the members; the members can do this themselves, too. 

4 . Do A Member Analysis 

To know the individual strengths and weaknesses of group members, it’s important to carry out a member analysis. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a crowd. Or, someone could be great at building presentations, but not so good with speaking into a mic. On the contrary, a member might be an excellent orator but terrible with technology.

So, in order to efficiently divide the work and to have a seamless presentation, carry out a member analysis beforehand. 

5. Individual And Group Practice Are Equally Important 

Individual practice is important as it helps you prepare the presentation in solitude, as you would if you were the only speaker. Practicing alone is generally more comfortable, as you do not have to worry about other people watching or judging you.

It also allows you to prepare at your own convenience and time, while for group practice you’ll have to adjust to when it’s convenient for the other members to practice, as well.

Besides, the individual practice also saves the group’s time as each member can simultaneously but separately prep their own part, while group practice sessions are often longer as the other members generally have to pay attention to the speaking member instead of their own bit.

However, it’s essential to do group practice at least three to four times before delivering your presentation. This is important not just for the smooth delivery of the presentation, but also for the group members to grow comfortable with each other.

Group practice sessions also help you time out the total duration of the presentation, have smooth transitions between speakers, avoid repetitions, and also sort out any potential hiccups or fallbacks in the presentation. 

6. Perfect The Transitions 

A common fallback of group presentations is having awkward transitions between members. Not only will this be an unpleasant experience for the audience, but it might also make you waste precious time.

So, make sure you practice and perfect the transitions before the big day. It doesn’t have to be too long–even a single line will do. What matters is how well you execute it. 

7. Bond With The Group Members 

Bonding with the group is a great way to enhance the overall presentation experience; both, for yourself as well as the audience. This is because a better bond between the group members will make for the smoother functioning of the group, reduce potential conflicts, make decisions quickly and more easily, and also make the presentation fun!

The audience will also be able to sense, maybe even witness, this camaraderie between the members. They will thus have a better viewing experience.

There are many ways to improve the bonding between group members. Before the presentation, you could go out for dinner, a movie, or even meet up at one location–like somebody’s house–to get to know each other better. Group calls are another option. You could also play an ice-breaker if you’re up for some fun games!

8. Watch Other Group Presentations Together 

This is another great way of bonding with the team and also improving your presentation skills as you do so. By listening to other group presentations, you will be able to glean a better idea of how you can better strategize your own presentation. As you watch the presentation, make note of things like the time division, the way the topics are divided, the transition between speakers, etc. 

A few presentations you could watch are:

Tips For Delivering A Group Presentation: The Presentation Stage  

1.Introduce All Members 

A good idea to keep in mind while delivering a group presentation is to introduce all members at the onset of the presentation. This will familiarize the audience with them, and also work to ease the member’s nerves.

Besides, an introduction will make the members feel more included, and if done correctly, can also give a more shy member a confidence boost. The simplest way of introducing members is to have the person beginning the speech do it. Alternatively, the presentation moderator could do it.

2. Coordinate Your Dressing 

What better way to make people believe that you’re a team than dressing up as one? 

Coordinated dressing not only makes the group stand out from the audience, but it can also make the group members feel more like one team. 

A general rule of thumb is to dress one level more formally than your audience. Don’t wear your casual clothes: remember that it’s a formal event and your clothing must reflect that. Also, keep in mind individual preferences and beliefs while choosing the clothing.

This is important as if a person is uncomfortably dressed, it can have a negative impact on their performance, which will eventually be detrimental to the group performance.

3. Make Sure To Incorporate Visual & Audio Aids

Visual elements like photographs, videos, graphs, etc. Are a must in all presentations, group or otherwise. This is because visual aids help the audience better understand the topic, besides making the presentation a better experience overall. Same goes with audio elements, which include things like audio clips, music, background sounds etc. 

So, if you wish to have your audience’s attention, make sure to incorporate tons of visual and audio elements in your presentation. You could also divide the kind of visual elements you use between different members: for example, one person could show a short documentary to expand on their point, and the other could make use of memes and animation to add a dose of fun to their part. 

4. Pay Attention To What Others Are Saying 

Another thing to keep in mind while delivering your speech is to pay attention to what the other speakers are saying. While it might be tempting to tune out others and use the extra time to rehearse your own presentation, it’s not a good idea to do so.

Remember that the audience can see each speaker on the stage. If you don’t look interested, then why should they pay attention? Besides, your lack of attention can make the speaker feel bad: if their own team members aren’t listening to them speaking, does that mean they’re doing a bad job? So, make sure to keep your eyes and ears on your teammate as they deliver their speech.

5. Remember All Speech Parts By Heart 

This is a great way to ensure that you have a seamless presentation. One of the primary benefits of having a team to work with is knowing that you can turn to them for help if something goes wrong.

So, it’s important to not just practice and work together but to also be well-versed in what other group members are going to be saying. This will make it easier for you to cue or help someone if they forget their part. Also, if there’s an emergency or if a member is not able to make it to the speech, the other members can easily take their place.

6. Work Together For A Question And Answer Session 

Q & A sessions are a common element in most presentations. They might seem daunting to an individual speaker, however, a group setting makes the session much easier. This is because an individual speaker doesn’t have to know everything about the topic.

The presentation moderator can simply refer to the speaker who is the most well-versed about the topic or is best able to answer the question from the group, and they can answer it. 

Creative Ideas To Make Use Of Multiple Presenters! 

There are many ways by which you can use the fact that there’s not just one single presentator but many to your advantage. A few of them are: 

1. Add A Dose Of Fun With Skits! 

Adding a dose of creativity to your presentation will greatly enhance its appeal to the audience, and make it more likely that they will remember your presentation in the future! 

One way of doing this is by having a short skirt in the opening. This is another great way of introducing the members, and of warming up the audience to them.

A fun skit can not only expand on the topic you’re about to present but will also elevate the audience’s mood, which will improve their attention span as well as their opinion of you! What else could you ask for?

2. Make Them Engage With Cosplay! 

Cosplay is another great way of making your presentation stand apart! This can make the presentation more interactive for the audience, as well, and earn you that sought-after dose of chuckling.

It’s not necessary to buy the most expensive costumes or be perfect in your cosplay, either. You can pick an outfit that’s easy to drape over your other outfit, and pick props that are easy to carry as well as versatile so that you can use them in other parts of your presentation as well. 

3. Write & Sing A Song Together!

Listen, you don’t have to be a professional singer or composer to do this. You’re not trying to sell a studio album. All you need is a little dose of creativity and some brainstorming, and you can write a song that helps you explain a component of your speech better.

You could even summarize the entire topic in that song, and sing it in the end as a sort of post-credits scene (thank you, Marvel). Alternatively, the song doesn’t necessarily have to explain your speech, but can simply be a surprise element after you’re done with the main part of your speech! 

4. Record A Short Film!

If you don’t want to have a live skit, another creative way to add fun to your skit is by recording a short film beforehand and playing it during your presentation. The film doesn’t have to be very long–even a few minutes work.

What matters is the content of the film, and how well-made it is. If not all members wish to act or record themselves, the ones that are not up for it can do the editing and compilation, or even write the script! After all, it’s not just actors that make a film successful: a strong director and writer are just as important! 

5. Have A Continuous Story 

Another great way to make the presentation seem more connected and seamless is by incorporating a continuous story. You can pick a story–or even make one up–related to your topic and break it up in sections.

Then, assign a section to each speaker. This will not only make the presentation more intriguing but if done right will also hook your audience’s attention and make them anticipate what comes next. Awesome, right? 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. how do i begin a group presentation.

To begin a group presentation, have the moderator or any other group member introduce all other members and the topic that they’ll be speaking on. This might seem like a redundancy, however it is anything but useless.

This gives the chance to the audience to become familiar with the speakers, which is necessary if you want them to grow comfortable with you. Also, prior introduction of members saves the audience’s time, as each speaker will not have to re-introduce themself before driving into their topic. 

If each member wishes to individually introduce themselves, then that can be done too. However, make sure that you’ve practiced transitioning between members smoothly, so as to avoid making the switch look awkward.

Next, share a brief summary of what you’re going to be talking about. Like the introduction, you could even split the summary among yourselves, with each speaker describing briefly what they’re going to be talking about. Tell the audience why it’s relevant, and how you’re planning to go about giving the speech. Incorporating attention-grabbing statements is another good idea.

This could be a sneak peek into what’s going to be coming in your presentation, or simply a relevant statement, fact or statistic. Make sure the introduction doesn’t last too long, as you want to keep the audience fresh and primed for the main content of your speech.

Q. HOW DO I TRANSITION BETWEEN DIFFERENT SPEAKERS?

As mentioned before, having a smooth transition between speakers in the group is imperative to provide the audience with a seamless experience. The abrupt way of doing this would be to simply have the first speaker stop and for the other speaker to begin speaking.

However, a better way to transition would be by using transitional phrases. Pass the baton to the next speaker by introducing them. You could do this by saying something like, “To talk about the next topic we have…” Or something like, “Now I would like to invite…” 

After verbally introducing them, it’s also a good idea to motion towards or look towards the new speaker. Also, if you’re the next speaker, it’s always good manners to thank the previous one. 

Transitioning is one place where many presentations go wrong. Practicing the transition might seem redundant, but it’s anything but that. In fact, it’s as necessary as the practice of the other elements of your speech. Also, make sure to incorporate both, verbal and non-verbal cues while moving to the next speaker. That is, don’t just say that ‘A’ is going to be speaking now and then walk away.

Make eye contact with the speaker, motion for them towards the podium, or smile at them. That is, both speakers should acknowledge the presence of each other.

Make sure to practice this beforehand too. If you want, you could also have the moderator do the transitioning and introduce all speakers. However, make sure that your transitions are brief, as you don’t want to take up too much time from the main presentation.

Q. HOW DO I END A GROUP PRESENTATION? 

For the ending of the presentation, have the moderator or any other group member step forward again. They can provide a quick summary of the presentation, before thanking the audience and asking them if they have any questions.

The moderator doesn’t have to answer all the questions by themselves: the members can pitch in to answer the question that relates to their individual part. If there’s another group presenting after you, the moderator can conclude by verbally introducing them or saying that the next group will take over now. 

During the end, you could have all the presenters on the stage together, as this will provide a united front to your audience. If you don’t wish to finish the presentation with a Q & A, you could also end it by a call to action.

Or, you could loop back and make a reference to the opening of your presentation, or the main part of your speech. If you’d set up a question at the beginning, now would be a good time to answer it. This will increase the impact of your speech.

Make sure that the closing words aren’t vague. The audience should know it’s the end of the presentation, and not like you’re keeping them hanging for something more. Make sure to thank and acknowledge your audience, and any other speakers or dignitaries present. Lastly, just like the opening and the transitioning, practice the ending before you step onto the stage!

Q. HOW DO I INTRODUCE THE NEXT SPEAKER IN A GROUP PRESENTATION? 

There are many ways by which you can introduce the next speaker in the presentation. For starters, you could wrap up your presentation by simply summarizing what you said (make sure it’s a brief summary) and then saying the other speaker will take over from this point.

Or, you could finish with your topic and then give a brief introduction of the next speaker and what they’re going to be talking about. The introduction can be simply the name of the speaker, or you could also provide a brief description of them and their achievements if any.

To lighten the mood, you could even add a fun fact about the speaker in your introduction–this is, of course, provided that you’re both comfortable with it. You could also ask for a round of applause to welcome them onto the stage.

However you choose to approach the transition, make sure that your introduction is short, and not more than two minutes at the maximum. Remember that it’s the next speaker’s turn to speak–not yours. If you’re the incoming speaker, make sure to thank the speaker who introduced you. You could also respond to their description or fun fact about you. A smile doesn’t hurt, either!

Conclusion 

To sum up, while group presentations might seem daunting at first, if planned and executed properly, they don’t have to be difficult at all! On the contrary, they can make the presentation a more seamless and fun experience overall. By doing thorough preparation in advance, dividing the work properly, as well as staying vigilant and supportive during the presentation, you can execute your next group presentation as easily as an individual project!

Guide for Giving a Group Presentation

February 21, 2018 - Dom Barnard

In certain academic and business situations, it is more valuable to deliver a group presentation than a solo one. Many people prefer group presentations because there is less pressure on the individual. However there are also unique challenges, such as having to ensure multiple individuals collaborate in order to produce a cohesive piece of work.

Preparing for the group presentation

As with any presentation, there is a significant amount of work during the preparation stage. The group must be well organised because there are multiple individuals, and therefore multiple personalities involved.

Presentation moderator

To assist with organisation, the group should first decide on a presentation moderator – this is essentially the “leader”. The presentation moderator can have the final say when decision-making is needed and, during the Q&A portion of the presentation, can decide which speakers will answer certain questions.

Understanding the audience

To make your presentation engaging you need to  think about the audience  so you can tailor it towards their needs. How much will the audience already know about this topic? What will they want to get from this presentation?

For example, if you are presenting the topic of building a bridge to a group of civil engineers, you can confidently use technical language. However, if you are presenting to secondary school students, you would need to use simpler language and not explain the methods in as much detail.

The presentation’s purpose

As a group, ensure you agree on the purpose of the presentation so that you all understand the message that needs to be conveyed e.g. “We want to find out which treatment works best for social anxiety.” Deciding on your message means that the group can start building key points around this – just keep in mind that each subtopic must contribute to the presentation’s aim.

Divide the presentation

The presentation needs to be  divided into main areas  so there is a clear beginning, middle and end. This is where can you decide on the order of the subtopics. Presentations usually follow this structure:

1. Introduction:

• It is useful to agree on the first minute of the presentation as a team. This is because the audience should be interested from the start and convinced to listen.
• The presentation’s aims are also discussed and an overview of the presentation’s structure is provided. For example, “We set out to explore the effectiveness of different treatments for social anxiety. We will first cover the symptoms and prevalence of social anxiety, before explaining the different treatments. This will then lead into a discussion about the pros and cons of each treatment route. Finally, we will explain which treatment route we decided was the most effective for this disorder.”

2. One or two middle sections:

• These sections consist of providing the information that addresses your presentation’s aim.
• There can be more of these sections depending on your topic.

3. Conclusion:

• After summarising all of the key points, there must be a clear conclusion. It is beneficial to appoint the conclusion to the best speaker as this is where all the information is pooled together.

After segmenting the presentation, a time sequence can be created so the group understands the order in which tasks must be completed. It is important to set deadlines for this.

Share responsibility

A frequent problem when working within a group is unequal participation as this can subsequently cause disharmony.

But this is easily avoidable by assigning each speaker a section of the presentation to work on depending on their interests. This means that each speaker should be doing the research for their section and putting together a speech and slides (if being used).

• It is important to specify exactly what each group member should be doing with their time.
• Make sure the length of time per speaker is agreed on.
• Do not change speakers more than necessary because this can reduce the coherency of the presentation.

Build the presentation together

For an audience to follow and enjoy a presentation, it must flow together. Meeting up and building the presentation helps with this because:

• This prevents the duplication of content.
• You can put the slides together, although only one individual should be responsible for merging the slides so there is consistency within the presentation.
• It is useful to receive feedback on the speeches before presenting to an audience.
• The team can agree on any edits.
• The team can agree on the conclusion.
• You can make sure that each speaker will talk for the same amount of time and cover a similar amount of information.
• The team can come up with the first minute of the presentation together.

Use stories to engage the audience

A good presentation opening could  start with a story  to highlight why your topic is significant. For example, if the topic is on the benefits of pets on physical and psychological health, you could present a story or a study about an individual whose quality of life significantly improved after being given a dog.

The audience is more likely to remember this story than a list of facts and statistics so try and incorporate relevant stories into presentations.

Know what each speaker will say

Each speaker must know what the other group members will say as this prevents repetition and it may be useful to refer to a previous speaker to assist in explaining your own section.

Also, if a team member is unable to attend on the day it will be easier to find cover within the group.

Write and practice transitions

Clean transitioning between speakers can also assist in producing a presentation that flows well. One way of doing this is:

• Briefly recap on what you covered in your section: “So that was a brief introduction on what social anxiety is and how it can affect somebody”
• Introduce the next speaker in the team and explain what they will discuss: “Now Sarah will talk about the prevalence of social anxiety.”
• Then end by looking at the next speaker, gesturing towards them and saying their name: “Sarah”.
• The next speaker should acknowledge this with a quick: “Thank you Nick.”

From this example you can see how the different sections of the presentations link which makes it easier for the audience to follow and remain engaged.

Practice the presentation

Rehearse with the group multiple times to make sure:

• The structure works
• Everyone is sticking to their timing.
• To see if any edits are needed.

The more you  rehearse a presentation  the more you will feel comfortable presenting the material and answering questions as your familiarity with the content increases.

Handling nerves before the presentation

It is  natural to feel nervous  when presenting in front of others, regardless of the size of the audience. Here are some tips:

• Remind yourself that the audience is there to listen to you and wants you to do well; there is no need to be afraid of them.
• Remember that the audience members will have to present their projects later and are almost certainly feeling just as nervous.
• Practicing with your group and practicing your section at home will make you more comfortable and familiar with the material and increase your confidence.
• Practice pauses  – when people feel nervous they tend to find silences uncomfortable and try to fill gaps, such as using “um” multiple times (filler words). Practicing pauses will help the silences feel less unnatural when you present therefore reducing the need for filler words.
• When we are nervous we often begin breathing quickly and this in turn can increase our anxiety. Controlled breathing is a common technique that helps slow down your breathing to normal thus reducing your anxiety.

Exercises to control your breathing:

• Sit down in an upright position as it easier for your lungs to fill with air
• Breathe in through your nose and into your abdomen for four seconds
• Hold this breathe for two seconds
• Breathe out through your nose for six seconds
• Wait a few seconds before inhaling and repeating the cycle

During the group presentation

Introducing the team.

The presentation should begin with the presentation moderator introducing the team. This is smoother than each individual presenting themselves.

Pay attention to the presentation

You may feel nervous as you wait for your turn to speak but try to listen to the presentation. The audience is able to see the whole team so it is important that you look interested in what is being said and react to it, even if you have heard it multiple times.

Body language and eye contact

Body language is a useful tool to engage the audience:

• If it is your turn to speak then stand slightly in the foreground of the rest of your group.
• Smile at the audience as this will make you look more confident.
• Make eye contact  as this helps you engage with the audience.
• Keep your arms uncrossed so your body language is more open.
• Do not look down and read from your notes- glancing down occasionally is fine but keep in mind that you are talking to the audience.
• This is the same for  presenting visual aids ; you may need to glance at the computer slide but make sure you predominantly face the audience as you are still speaking to them.
• Keep your hands at your sides but use them occasionally to gesture.

Vocal variety

How you say something is just as is important as the content of your speech –  arguably, more so . For example, if an individual presented on a topic very enthusiastically the audience would probably enjoy this compared to someone who covered more points but mumbled into their notes.

Here are some pointers:

• Adapt your voice depending on what are you saying- if you want to highlight something then raise your voice or lower your voice for intensity.
• Avoid speaking in monotone.
• Sound enthusiastic – the more you sound like you care about the topic, the more the audience will listen.
• Speak loudly and clearly.
• If you notice that you are speaking quickly, pause and slow down.
• Warm up your voice  before a speech

Take short pauses and breath deeply. This will ensure you have more vocal variety.

Handling nerves during the presentation

• If you find that you are too uncomfortable to give audience members direct eye contact, a helpful technique is to look directly over the heads of the audience as this gives the impression of eye contact.
• Try not to engage in nervous behaviours e.g. shifting your weight or fidgeting.
• Remember that it’s unlikely that the audience knows that you are feeling nervous – you do not look as anxious as you feel.
• Notice whether you are speaking too quickly as this tends to happen when nervousness increases. If you are, pause and then slow down.

Strong conclusion

Since the conclusion is the last section of your presentation the audience is more likely to remember it. Summarise the key points and lead into a clear concluding statement. For example, if your presentation was on the impact of social media on self-esteem you could list all the main points covered in the presentation and conclude “Therefore, from the amount of evidence and also from the quality of evidence, we have decided that social media is negatively/positively impacting self-esteem.”

Questions and answer session

The questions and answers session after the main presentation can be a source of anxiety as it is often difficult to predict what questions will be asked. But working within a group setting means that individually you do not have to know everything about the topic.

When an  audience member asks a question , the presentation moderator can refer a speaker who has the relevant knowledge to provide an answer. This avoids any hesitant pauses.

If you are answering group presentation questions:

• Pause before answering- take the time to gather your thoughts and think about your answer
• Make sure you answer the question- sometimes you may start providing more information than necessary. Keeping answers as concise as possible will help with this.
• Ask the questioner for clarification if you do not understand- it’s better to ask rather than answering in a way that does not address the question.
• You’re not expected to know everything- challenging questions will emerge and if you do not know the answer you can respond with: “That’s a really good question, I’m not certain so let me look into that.”

Ending the presentation

A good ending usually consists of the presentation moderator thanking the audience. If there is another group afterwards they should transition to the next group.

How to give a good group presentation

Focus on strong planning, transition, and Q&A execution.

BY  Matt Abrahams 4 minute read

Facing an audience alone can be anxiety-producing. But copresenting with others brings its own set of challenges as well: from confusion to unclear roles. 

I once taught a class in which students were required to deliver a group presentation on the topic of their choice. One group told me they would be speaking about whales, but failed to coordinate their talk. I think they were as surprised as I was when one member discussed the marine mammal whales, one treated us to some enlightening information about the country of Wales, and a third proceeded to give us an overview of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem!

Thankfully, most teams do a better job of coordination than my students did. In fact, just a bit of planning and collaboration beforehand can minimize the potential messiness of team talks and allow the benefits (diverse perspectives, time efficiency, teamwork, etc.) to shine. When you coordinate your work together, communication can flow smoothly and your presentation will look like a unified effort, rather than disparate talks thrown together under a single heading. 

You don’t have to synchronize and coordinate every word, but the three elements that will make the most difference in your group presentation are planning, transitioning, and executing a strong Q&A. Here are three keys to giving a great group presentation:  

Before you get in front of your audience, it’s critical to align on your group’s goal, the depth and road map of your content, and the tone of your presentation. Discuss these questions before crafting content:

• Goal: What is the objective of your talk? What do you want your audience to know, feel, and do as a result of what you share? By agreeing on your goal, you can each then begin crafting your content. Of course, be sure to check in with your group periodically regarding what you are saying and how you’re saying it to avoid overlaps and miscommunications.
• Depth: How much detail will you provide, and in which sections? You might make the decision to have different speakers cover the content at different levels of specificity, or you might opt to keep everyone at the same level. This is a great time to also agree on joint terminology to use across all sections.
• Road map: What is the journey you will take your audience on, and what is each presenter’s role along the way? Each of you should know what you need to say to set your fellow presenters up for success.
• Tone: How formal or informal will your presentation be? Coordinate formality among your presenters in terms of appearance (the clothes you wear), language (contractions and cursing), and concision (how long you speak). 

Transitions

When moving from one speaker to the next, you need to transition both topic and presenter. Too often presenters will simply say, “And here is Sven . . .” and hand over the microphone. Instead, offer a more complete transition that allows your audience to mentally shift from one section of your talk to the next. For instance, “Now that we all understand the significance of the problem, Sven will come up and share our proposed solution.”

If you are presenting in person, there is a delicate dance when one presenter relinquishes the stage to the next person. These transitions work best when the current presenter turns to face the direction the next presenter is coming from, then waits until the new presenter takes center stage before exiting. If you need to pass a remote slide advancer and/or microphone, extend the equipment to the new presenter and allow them to take it. Think of it as “passing the baton” in a relay race; to avoid a literal mic drop, someone’s hand needs to be on these at all times. This exchange also allows you to symbolically pass authority to the next presenter.

Going from broadcasting information to interacting with your audience is a critical shift. A Q&A section allows the audience to engage in dialog with the presenting team. It also invites deeper understanding for the audience and allows the presenters to gauge how well the audience has understood their message. When this shift is handled adeptly, the team preserves their credibility and authority.

Here are three suggestions to make this portion of your presentation a success:

• Determine in advance who will take which questions. This coordination eliminates the awkward moment when everyone is looking blankly at each other, wondering if they should speak. If you have additional thoughts to add to a previous answer, do so by connecting your response to theirs (e.g., “In addition to what Juana said, I also think . . .”).
• Assign an “orchestra conductor” who manages the audience’s questions and hands them off to the appropriate answerer.  The “conductor” will also manage time and wrap up the Q&A.
• Pay attention even when you aren’t answering. Consider yourself in the spotlight even when you aren’t speaking. Look at the audience or your fellow presenter who is answering.

Successful group presentations are like scenes in a stage play. Knowing your role, agreeing on timing, paying attention to details, and practicing will create a positive experience for your team members and will enhance your ability to successfully convey your message to your audience. 

And here is some bonus advice for virtual team presentations: Always test mic levels so that everyone’s sound level is even, work to have the same level of lighting, coordinate virtual backgrounds to give a sense of cohesion, and have each member position their bodies in their stage areas the same way.

More and more of our communication is occurring in teams. By taking some time to coordinate and give feedback in advance, we can maximize the benefit of team presenting and avoid barriers to success.

Clearly define the purpose of your presentation. What do you want to achieve? Are you informing, persuading, or entertaining your audience? Identifying your presentation’s purpose will help you create a cohesive and impactful message.

Identify Your Topic

Choose a topic that aligns with your audience’s interests and needs. Ensure that your topic is relevant and impact your audience . Conduct thorough research to gather accurate and up-to-date information to support your presentation.

Relate Your Topic to the Audience

2. Audience Analysis: Know Your Audience

Understanding your audience is crucial for delivering a successful group presentation. Here’s how you can effectively analyze your audience:

Consider Audience Demographics

Take into account the age, gender, culture, and background of your audience. Understanding these demographics will help you tailor your language, examples, and visuals to resonate with your audience.

Use Appropriate Examples and Vocabulary

Choose examples and vocabulary that your audience can relate to and understand. Avoid jargon or technical terms that may confuse or alienate your audience. Use language that is inclusive and accessible to all.

Proper Pronunciation is Key

Ensure that you can properly pronounce every word in your speech. Practice challenging words to avoid mispronunciations during your presentation. Pronouncing words correctly enhances your credibility and ensures effective communication.

3. Group Analysis: Know Your Individual and Group Strengths and Weaknesses

A cohesive and collaborative group is essential for a successful group presentation. Analyzing individual and group strengths and weaknesses will help you allocate roles and responsibilities effectively. Here’s how you can analyze your group:

Leverage Individual Strengths

Identify individual strengths within your group. Confident presenters can excel at introductions and conclusions, detail-oriented individuals can handle discussion points, and fast thinkers can adeptly handle questions. Assign roles and responsibilities based on individual strengths to maximize the group’s potential.

Practice Group Cohesiveness

Create one cohesive presentation by working together as a group. Develop a unified introduction, body, and conclusion. Designate one person to compile the presentation slides from everyone, ensuring consistency in style and format. Every group member should contribute by conducting research, proofreading, and supporting one another.

Foster Smooth Transitions

Ensure smooth transitions between presentation slides and group members. Explain how each topic relates to the previous one, and introduce the next speaker and their topic. Acknowledge any overlap in topics or points to create seamless transitions. A well-structured and connected presentation enhances audience understanding and engagement.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice: Aim for Group Cohesiveness

Practice is key to delivering a polished and impactful group presentation. Aim for group cohesiveness by following these practice tips:

Create One Presentation

Work together as a group to create one cohesive presentation. Collaborate on the introduction, body, and conclusion to ensure a unified message. Use consistent templates and slide styles throughout the presentation for a professional and cohesive visual experience.

Everyone Contributes

Ensure that every group member actively contributes to the presentation. Each member should conduct research, prepare their section, and contribute to the overall development of the presentation. Embrace a group mindset by using inclusive language such as “we found” instead of “I found” to foster a sense of unity and collaboration.

Smooth Transitions

Practice transitioning smoothly between speakers and topics. Recap the previous section briefly before introducing the next speaker and their topic. Use gestures and eye contact to create a seamless flow between group members. Well-executed transitions enhance audience comprehension and engagement.

Constructive Feedback

Share constructive feedback within the group to improve the presentation. Provide feedback on content, delivery, and overall effectiveness. Constructive criticism helps each group member refine their skills and deliver a more impactful presentation.

5. Appearance Matters: Create a Cohesive Visual Presence

The appearance of all group members plays a significant role in creating a cohesive and professional visual presence. Consider these tips to enhance your group’s visual impact:

Dress Similar

Consider dressing in a similar manner, although not necessarily identical. Dress professionally, opting for attire such as slacks and button-up shirts. A cohesive visual appearance portrays professionalism and unity.

Professional Attire

Choose professional attire that aligns with the context of your presentation. Dressing professionally enhances your credibility and creates a positive impression on your audience. Pay attention to grooming and personal presentation to ensure a polished look.

Visual Aid Check

While practicing, utilize visual aids to check for typos or any needed changes. Ensure that all visual elements, such as slides or props, are error-free and visually appealing. Visual aids should complement your presentation and support your message effectively.

6. Delivery Tips: Captivate Your Audience

Delivering a group presentation involves more than just conveying information. Follow these tips to captivate your audience and deliver a memorable presentation:

Introduce Group Members

Begin your presentation by introducing each group member. This establishes credibility and helps the audience connect with each speaker. A brief introduction of each member provides context and sets the stage for a cohesive presentation.

Preview Slide

Include a preview slide at the beginning of your presentation. This slide provides an overview of what will be covered, ensuring that the audience understands the structure and flow of your presentation. A preview slide sets clear expectations and helps the audience navigate your presentation.

Rehearse with Visual Aids

During practice sessions, utilize your visual aids to simulate a real presentation environment. This allows you to identify any typos, necessary changes, or technical issues with your visual aids. Rehearsing with visual aids ensures a smooth and seamless presentation experience.

Practice as if Audience is Present

While practicing, imagine an audience is present to simulate the actual presentation environment. This helps you become comfortable speaking in front of others and improves your delivery. Practice your timing, body language , and transitions to create a confident and engaging presentation.

Nonverbal Communication

Pay attention to your nonverbal cues during the presentation. Face the audience rather than the projected slides, maintaining eye contact and actively engaging with your listeners. Keep your arms uncrossed and use natural gestures to enhance your message. Maintain a confident and approachable demeanor throughout.

Vocal Variety

Vocal variety is crucial for delivering an engaging presentation. Adapt your voice to emphasize important points, vary your tone for intensity or emotion, and speak clearly and audibly. Avoid speaking in a monotone voice, as it can quickly disengage your audience. Practice controlled breathing techniques to maintain a steady and confident voice.

7. Utilize Interactive Digital Tools for Enhanced Learning

In the digital age, leveraging interactive tools can enhance your learning experience and facilitate to learn art of group presentations. Here are some ways to utilize interactive digital tools :

Online Public Speaking Classes and Courses

Enroll in online public speaking classes and courses to boost your skills and confidence. These courses offer structured learning modules, interactive exercises, and expert guidance. Online platforms provide a flexible and accessible learning environment, allowing you to learn at your own pace.

Executive Coaching and Business Coaching

Consider engaging in executive coaching or business coaching to further refine your presentation skills. These personalized coaching sessions provide targeted feedback, strategies, and techniques to excel the art of  group presentations. Working with a coach can provide valuable insights and accelerate your growth as a presenter.

Digital Presentation Tools

Utilize digital presentation tools such as PowerPoint, Google Slides , or Prezi to create visually captivating presentations. These tools offer a wide range of templates, animations, and multimedia features that enhance the visual appeal of your presentation. Incorporate interactive elements to engage your audience and make your presentation memorable.

Video Conferencing Platforms

Harness the power of video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams to deliver group presentations remotely. These platforms enable seamless collaboration, screen sharing, and audience interaction. Leverage breakout rooms for group discussions and Q&A sessions to create an engaging virtual presentation experience.

How to Deliver Group Presentations: The Unified Team Approach

When you’re asked to present as part of a panel of experts or a team making a sales pitch, you might think that there is safety in numbers and that you need to prepare less than if you were speaking on your own.

The truth is that, for your audience, a group presentation is only as strong as its weakest presenter. Here’s how to help your team create a strong and unified group presentation .

3 Ingredients of Great Group Presentations

The three ingredients to develop and deliver a unified group presentation are clarity, control, and commitment.

Clarity of Purpose

Clarity of roles, clarity of message, control introductions, control transitions, control time and space, commit to a schedule, commit to rehearsing.

• Commit to Answering Your Audience’s Questions

Incorporating these elements will give your audience a “seamless” message.

Ingredient #1: Clarity

Just as your presentation will have a clear purpose, expressed in a thesis statement, your group should create a Charter Statement that explicitly captures the group’s desired outcome.

The charter is different from a thesis statement. The thesis specifically frames the presentation message whereas the charter frames your group’s purpose. This Charter Statement becomes the test of everything that will go into the presentation and help guide the efforts of the team. The charter and the thesis may overlap, but even your thesis statement must be tested against the group’s Charter.

For example, if your group agrees that your general purpose is to sell your product, and, more specifically, you know that the key decision maker in the audience is leery about cutting checks to companies like yours, build that into your Charter Statement.

The purpose of our presentation is to sell our Product to ABC Company by overcoming the objections of the company’s Purchasing Officer through clear examples of how our Product provides a fast return on investment.

The Charter Statement will come in handy when you have a team member who may want to go “off track” to tell personal anecdotes that don’t pass the test of the group’s charter.

Personalities come into play when groups meet to develop presentations. Jockeying for position and ego struggles can quickly deplete the group’s momentum, resulting in hurt feelings and, potentially, a weaker presentation. Providing clarity to group roles helps to establish expectations and keep the entire group moving towards a common objective: a great group presentation.

“ Developing clarity within your group will help you develop a clear message for your audience. ”

Identify the roles your group needs during message development. For example, to ensure that team members are meeting assignments, select a Project Manager . This person isn’t the “boss of the presentation”, but rather will focus on schedule and assignments.

Other roles could include a Gap Analyst who is responsible for identifying “gaps” in content and support materials (handouts, graphics, etc.), which in turn could work closely with other roles within the group like the Chief Researcher .

Capitalize on the unique personalities within your group to develop roles that work well for all, but be sure to discuss the roles openly so they are clear to everyone.

Instead of writing “speeches” for each individual speaker , try creating one master presentation , a unified narrative, and then decide who speaks to which points, and when.

This is a shift from the traditional segmented method of group presentations where often group members are directed to “give five minutes of talking” and then are left to develop content independently.

In a master presentation, each speaker may weave in and out at various points during the presentation. When done well, this fluid dynamic can hold an audience’s attention better by offering a regular change in speakers’ voices and presence.

By using a master presentation, your group will ensure that each of the presenters will stay “on script” and use cohesive language, smooth transitions, and (when using visuals) consistent graphics.

Ingredient #2: Control

Your audience notices how your group introduces itself, so plan those introductions with your presentation.

Your presentation may be part of a larger event that includes an emcee who will introduce the team. If so, be sure that you provide pertinent information to the emcee that will allow her/him to generate interest in your presentation even before you begin speaking.

If your group is responsible for making its own introductions, however, you will need to decide if you will introduce your group members in the beginning, or when they first speak. Your group also will need to decide if each member introduces her/himself, or if one member will introduce everyone.

There is no one right way to do introductions, but your group must decide how to do them before the day of the presentation.

Decide how you are going to “hand off” from one speaker to the next. In the “master presentation” approach, you may want to consider simply have speakers pick up a narrative right where the previous speaker left off.

“ Your audience notices how your group introduces itself, so plan those introductions with your presentation. ”

If you use the more traditional segmented approach, each speaker may cue the subsequent speakers by identifying them and their subject matter. For example:

“…and speaking of quality control, no one is more qualified the Bob Johnson. Bob is going to tell us about how this team will deliver a quality project for you.”

Another option is to assign a group emcee who will handle transitions between presentation sections. Your group will need to determine which option makes the most sense based on your presentation style and audience expectations.

Multiple speakers translate to occupying more physical space, and the potential to gobble up more time with introductions and transitions.

If you will be presenting in a small room, consider where each speaker needs to be positioned to quickly reach the speaking area, and whether they will sit or stand when not speaking.

Your presentation must fit within your allotted time, so you will need to time your group’s presentation, including equipment set up, introductions, and transitions.

Ingredient #3: Commitment

Once you know the date of your presentation, create a schedule that includes specific milestones, such as “presentation draft due” and “final rehearsal”. Having a specific schedule allows members either to agree to the group’s expectations or to offer dates that better fit their personal schedules.

Additionally, you can assign specific responsibilities to the scheduled milestones; for example, who is responsible for bringing the handouts, projector, and laptop to the presentation?

“ If you find group members who lack the commitment to rehearse, consider finding group members who will commit. ”

Rehearsing is one of the most important steps for presentation success. Have your team members agree from day one that they will make themselves available to practice with the group.

If you find group members who lack the commitment to rehearse, consider finding group members who will commit. Practice makes perfect, and no rehearsal means your group doesn’t know what will happen to the content, timing, or quality of the presentation. Do those sound like things your group would like to leave to chance?

Commit to Answering Your Audience’s Questions

Once your formal presentation is over, you may see some raised hands in the audience, ready to pepper your group with questions. Your presentation is not over yet. How you handle those questions is as important as the presentation itself. A well-done presentation means nothing if presenters fumble questions so badly that they appear incompetent.

Have each member develop a list of potential questions and then, as a group, review the list. Discuss who will be responsible for handling which types of questions. Are there any questions important enough to build into the presentation?

From a Rag-Tag Group of Speakers to a Dynamic Presenting Team

By incorporating these three ingredients into your next group presentation process, you will find that you not only develop a presentation that your audience loves, but your group will transform from a rag-tag group of speakers into a dynamic presenting team.

Group Presentations: 7 Tips for Presenting With a Group

Presenting as a team is a complex exercise that requires diplomacy, respect, and many human qualities. A group team is composed of individuals where each one has a character and history.

The role of the leader within it is decisive. Each team member must feel in their place and work not only for their own interests but also for a common goal; they must adhere to values to succeed in the work.

Working alone is an opportunity that requires discipline; however, working as a group requires twice of it; all members must be aware of their limitations so that they do not hold them back.

Group Presentations: 7 Tips for Presenting With a Grou p

1. set a criteria to select the members.

Choose your partners and form a balanced group of up to four people, with about the same level, to avoid wasting time on adjustments. Don’t forget to cross-check experiences and personalities so that everyone can help and be helped in turn.

Do not choose only close friends, and surround yourself with motivated and serious people who know each other a minimum.

2. BE ORGANIZED!

Be clear about the work objectives and how they are distributed. Similarly, give yourself a time limit. Each person must ensure that they have a clear understanding of their missions and what role the group expects from them.

Assign individual tasks based on their skills. Also, set meeting rules to improve efficiency, such as turning off laptops, taking notes, scheduling, preparing for meetings, etc.

For successful group presentation, each team member needs to know their role and what they can bring; the objectives to be achieved must therefore be clearly defined, precisely defined, and must, of course, be achievable. Having common objectives clearly stated and well understood helps increase motivation and build a strong team spirit.

3. Outstanding performance is linked to a great leader.

The leader ensures the project as all tasks are distributed between all teammates; a fantastic group also clarifies mutual respect’s needs and boundaries. 

Excellent teamwork and leadership ensure outstanding performance because work can be a source of conflict, and the team can go through tensions. However, in a project, the group’s cohesion and teamwork often make a difference.

4. Communication: the key to performance

This makes it easier to help solve a potential problem or to know who to ask for help when needed.

It is essential to listen to others and not make judgments. Everyone works and thinks differently, even if the team uses standard tools and references.

By knowing how to listen, it is possible to learn from others and find together the best solution to achieve the goal. So don’t just focus on how you would have done this or that and consider all the ideas, even the craziest sometimes.

5. Start with individual work

This allows intense exchanges in the group because each student can bring the result of an individual’s work and reflection. 

Group work is particularly effective when group members have worked previously on documents that complement each other. The group work then begins with a debriefing of participants.

Mutual listening, cooperation, and integration of all take place spontaneously and without a long start-up time.

6. Set a time to deliberate with your group

A reasonable minimum time is obtained by multiplying the time by the number of participants. Groups of three should have at least 9 minutes available.

7. Prioritize rehearsal presentations

Whether for an introductory course, internship, or senior seminar, group presentations are part of everyone's college experience and can be a source of very real anxiety. Next time you are assigned a group presentation, don't panic—instead, embrace the opportunity to learn and demonstrate your abilities. Read to find out what you can do to make your next group presentation memorable.

Distribute the Work Evenly

The first step to planning an A-worthy presentation is to make sure everyone carries their own weight, though this is easier said than done. This step will set your presentation up for success but can be challenging to pull off. It is likely that at least some of the people in your group will have unmatched academic abilities and work ethics, but this problem can be overcome.

Outline the work that needs to be done for the whole project and divvy up roles based on what people are comfortable doing. Make the expectations of each person clear so that there is accountability from start to finish—if something gets sloppily finished or is left entirely undone, the issue can be traced back to whatever group member is responsible and handled accordingly. If necessary, discuss problems with the professor . Don't let one person's laziness sabotage your entire group's work.

Schedule Deadlines and Rehearsals in Advance

As a college student, it can be incredibly difficult to manage your own time let alone synchronize the schedules of several different group members. Planning to get together as far in advance as possible makes it less likely that other commitments are prioritized over important group planning time.

At your first group meeting, set a timeline for when things need to be done. Schedule meetings, deadlines, and rehearsals as far into the future as the assignment allows. Never plan to cram at an all-night stress fest the night before—tired and over-extended group members will have a hard time executing even the most well-planned presentation.

Present Together

Just as you should use the strengths and weaknesses of group members to assign planning roles before the presentation, you should consider the abilities of every group member when deciding how the presentation itself should actually be delivered. Cohesion is crucial to a great presentation. People will notice if one or more group members do not speak or the presentation gets off-topic each time a new person takes over, and weak delivery does not bode well for your grade.

When you are planning how you will present, ask yourself and your group members the following questions:

• What is the best way to deliver this material?
• What presenting strengths does each group member have?
• What goals must be met during the presentation?
• How will we divide and conquer scripting the presentation?
• What will we do if the presentation gets off-topic or a member forgets their part?

Prepare for Emergencies

Hopefully, you have put the time into creating an outstanding presentation, so don't let small hiccups derail it. Make sure that you know each other's responsibilities well enough to take over for them in times of crisis.

You never know when someone will get unexpectedly sick , face a family emergency, or be otherwise unable to show up for a presentation. Have a system in place where one group member can serve as an understudy for another group member so that your presentation does not crash and burn if someone is not there. Make the most of your preparations by planning for any scenario and remember to work as a team when things go wrong.

For a crisp presentation that leaves a strong impression on your professor and classmates, you need to rehearse. At least one run-through from beginning to end can smooth out any wrinkles, help nervous members overcome their fear, and ensure that you haven't left anything out.

Go through your parts as planned and offer each other constructive feedback immediately after. This may be uncomfortable, but helpful peer feedback can prevent negative feedback and bad grades from professors. Frame comments to members positively with a "glow and a grow": one thing they did really well and one area for improvement.

You should also discuss a dress code right before you rehearse so that all group members don the appropriate attire for the occasion. Lend each other clothes to help each other out if needed.

Stay Present During the Presentation

As long as your group is up there presenting, you need to be giving the presentation your all. This means that, even if your part is over, you should remain alert, engaged, and undistracted. This will make your presentation look and sound better while also enabling seamless emergency transitions. If you pay attention to your whole presentation, you will be much better prepared to step in for someone that needs rescuing—also, odds are that everyone else (professor included) will be more likely to pay attention if they see you paying attention.

Group presentations can be very effortful and time-consuming, so celebration is definitely in order once it's over. Reward yourself as a team for a job well done to bond after the potentially traumatizing experience you have shared.

What is a group presentation?

When we are having a presentation with a group of people that’s a group presentation. And this group can be made up of friends, classmates, colleagues, or anyone else who is working together on a project. In my view, if you want to involve everyone in the project and to ensure that everyone is on the same page group presentation is the best way.

There are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to group presentations.

I want to mention a few things plea keep them in your mind about group presentation.

• First, you should make sure that everyone on the team is prepared.
• Second, you should make sure that the presentation is focused and on track.
• Finally, you should make sure that everyone on the team is comfortable with the presentation.

So, here, some have we were learning what is the definition of group presentation after that I’m going to tell you what is important to have it.

Why is it important to have a group presentation?

I’m calling them as reasons, there are the reasons why we need them and why it’s important that much.

• First: it’s your chance to get everyone on the team involved with the presentation so you can look at it as a chance.
• Second: it’s an opportunity to ensure that everyone on the team is on the same page.
• Finally: if you need other people to focus on the project it’s a great chance.

Effective Group Presentations

Group presentations are a common way for individuals to collaborate and convey information, ideas, or projects to an audience. To ensure about effective group presentations, several key aspects need to be considered:

1-Planning and Organization:

Effective group presentations start with thorough planning. Define the presentation’s purpose, objectives, and target audience. Establish a clear structure, including an introduction, main points, and a conclusion. Divide tasks among group members, assigning roles and responsibilities.

2-Content Development:

Collaboratively develop content that is relevant, clear, and engaging. Ensure that each point is well-researched and supported with evidence. Create a logical flow between topics to maintain the audience’s interest and comprehension.

3-Visual Aids:

Visual aids, such as slides, charts, and graphs, can enhance understanding and retention. Design them to be visually appealing and uncluttered. Visuals should complement the spoken content, not replace it.

4-Practice:

Rehearse the presentation as a group multiple times. This helps improve the flow, timing, and coordination among presenters. The practice also reduces nervousness and builds confidence.

5-Engagement Techniques:

Engage the audience through various means, such as asking questions, providing real-world examples, or using anecdotes. Encourage participation to maintain interest and interaction.

6-Body Language and Delivery:

Effective communication extends beyond words. Pay attention to non-verbal cues like eye contact, gestures, and posture. Maintain a confident and friendly demeanor. Speak clearly and at an appropriate pace, considering the audience’s ability to follow.

7-Time Management:

Keep track of time to ensure the presentation runs smoothly and smoothly. Allocate time for questions and discussion at the end if necessary.

8-Handling Questions:

Anticipate potential questions and prepare answers. When responding to questions from the audience, be concise and, if necessary, defer questions that require more in-depth discussion to a later time.

9-Adaptability:

Be ready to adapt to unexpected situations, technical glitches, or audience response changes. Flexibility and the ability to improvise can make a significant difference.

What is teamwork?

You should not forget about teamwork cause a good team presentation is made of good teamwork. Teamwork is when a group of people comes together to achieve a common goal. There are many benefits to teamwork, including the ability to accomplish more than what one person could do alone, the ability to share knowledge and skills, and the ability to provide support for one another.

So we talked about group presentation and why we are doing it then we had to work on how we could have a better group presentation. One of the greatest factors that are involved in it is teamwork, cause a good team presentation is made of good teamwork. Teamwork is when a group of people comes together to achieve a common goal(i don’t know if have i ever mentioned it on my blogs or not but people with the same goals with a good strategy can change the world) Let back to our topic here are many benefits to teamwork, including the ability to accomplish more than what one person could do alone, the ability to share knowledge and skills, and the ability to provide support for one another.

Why is important to have teamwork?

We worked on the meaning of teamwork is time to say why it is important to have that. There are many reasons why teamwork is important i’m giving you three important reasons to believe that soo is so important.

One of the most important is that it allows for a greater level of productivity. When a team works together, each member can focus on their strengths and contribute to the overall goal. This can help a team to achieve more than what one person working alone could ever hope to achieve.

Another reason teamwork is important is that it allows for the sharing of knowledge and skills. When team members work together, they can share their expertise and learn from one another. This can help to improve the skills of the team as a whole and make them more effective at giving presentations.

Finally, teamwork is important because it provides support for one another. When team members work together, they can offer encouragement and motivation to one another. This can be a great way to keep team members focused and on track during a presentation.

Choose a team captain

When it comes to giving presentations, one of the most important things you can do is choose a team captain. The team captain is responsible for coordinating the team’s efforts and making sure that everyone is on the same page. They will also be responsible for giving the final presentation, so it is important to choose someone confident and capable of delivering a great presentation.

So, like always we are talking about the most important factors that you should keep in mind and do to improve your chance of success.

The team captain is responsible for coordinating the team’s efforts and making sure that everyone is on the same page and will also be responsible for giving the final presentation, so it is important to choose someone confident and capable of delivering a great presentation, so it’s important to choose a good team captain.

There are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a team captain.

I’m mentioning a few things to keep in mind when you are choosing a team captain.

• First, they should be organized and able to keep the team on track.
• Second, they should be confident and able to deliver a great presentation.
• Finally, they should be comfortable working with a team.

Know your roles within the team

So why do we use a captain to make everything clear so everyone knows their roles?

In a group presentation, all of the group members need to know their roles so they can do them faster and be prepared for them. There are a few different roles that you can play on a team, and each one has its own set of responsibilities.

• The first role is that of the presenter . The presenter is responsible for delivering the presentation to the audience.
• The second role is that of the support staff . The support staff is responsible for helping the presenter with the presentation.
• The third role is that of the audience . The audience is responsible for listening to the presentation and providing feedback.

Have a strategy in place for question time

When it comes to giving presentations, one of the most important things you can do is have a strategy in place for question time.

First ill make it clear when is question time. Question time is when the audience gets to ask the team questions about the presentation. You had to look at it as a great opportunity to get feedback from the audience and to clarify any points that they may be confused about.

The team needs a full group rehearsal

If you want to give a great presentation, it is important to have a full group rehearsal. This rehearsal should be done with the entire team, and it should be focused on going over the presentation from start to finish so care about this one cause it’s too important. This rehearsal will help to ensure that everyone on the team is on the same page and that they know what they need to do.

Do a member analysis

So, what to do if we want to have a member analysis you should first make a list of all the members of the group. Then, you should write down the strengths and weaknesses of each member. After you have done the member analysis, you should assign roles for the presentation.

As i told you before it’s one of the ways to go and know your roles.

Make sure everyone is prepared

So, this one is more about the captain i mean the captain should check this but the other members should know too. The captain should make sure that everyone on the team is prepared. 

Individual and group practice are equally important

 it is important to do both individual and group practice. Individual practice will help you to understand your role in the presentation. Group practice will help you to understand how to work with the other members of the group.

Watch other group presentations together

I can mention this one as a hint so that the reason that is at the end of my list so go and watch other group presentations. Cause this will help you to meet the exact mistakes that you may have in your presentation, the other reason that I’m recommending it to you is that it will also help you to understand the different elements of a group presentation.

So as your last job go and see the other group presentation and try to cover their week ness in your own presentation.

Effective Presentation Methods

Choosing effective presentation methods depends on the content, audience, and goals. Presentation methods are most effective for includes:

Lecture-Style Presentations:

Suitable for conveying complex information or educational content. The presenter speaks while using visual aids to support key points.

Interactive Workshops:

Ideal for fostering participation and skill-building. Participants actively engage with the material through exercises, discussions, and group activities.

Panel Discussions:

Effective for presenting multiple perspectives on a topic. Experts or panelists share their insights and engage in a moderated discussion.

Demonstrations and Product Showcases:

Great for showcasing products, software, or tangible items. Demonstrations allow the audience to see how something works in practice.

Storytelling Presentations:

Powerful for connecting with the audience emotionally and making information memorable. Stories engage the audience on a personal level.

Question and Answer (Q&A) Sessions:

These can follow other presentation methods, allowing the audience to seek clarification and dialogue with presenters.

Visual Presentations (e.g., Infographics):

Visual methods effectively convey complex data or statistics in a more digestible format.

Group Presentation Skills

Group presentations require a set of skills beyond individual public speaking abilities. You need to learn crucial group presentation skills, including:

• Effective communication within the group is vital. Team members should be on the same page regarding content, roles, and timing.
• Group members should actively listen to each other during rehearsals and the actual presentation. This ensures smooth transitions between speakers and helps address potential issues.
• Conflicts or disagreements may arise within the group. Skills in negotiation and conflict resolution are essential for maintaining group cohesion.
• Each member should have a defined role based on their strengths. Roles include the main presenter, content expert, timekeeper, and question-handler.
• Group presentations may require quick adjustments. Be flexible and ready to adapt if the situation changes.
• Encourage open and constructive feedback within the group. Use feedback to refine the presentation and enhance group dynamics.
• Provide support and encouragement to fellow group members. Confidence and motivation are contagious and can boost the overall quality of the presentation.
• Maintain professionalism during both the preparation and delivery of the presentation. This includes punctuality, deadline adherence, and a respectful attitude toward all team members.

Effective group presentations rely on careful planning, content development, engagement techniques, and delivery skills. The choice of presentation method should align with the content and goals, while group presentation skills, including communication, coordination, and conflict resolution, are essential for successful collaboration. Mastering these aspects will enable groups to deliver impactful and engaging presentations.

How do you structure a group presentation?

A common way to do this is the introduction-body-conclusion format, which consists of three main parts. The introduction should capture the audience’s attention, introduce the topic and main idea, and preview your presentation’s structure and key points.

What are the four common types of group presentations?

Informative, instructional, arousing, and persuasive. Informative presentations briefly educate your audience on a specific topic. Instructional presentations teach your audience more thoroughly and generally include details and directions.

Group presentations require the same skills we've covered so far in this module (e.g., well-structured ideas, visually appealing slides, etc.), but these assignments also need a different approach—creating an effective group presentation requires close collaboration, open communication, and lots of shared organization.

In this section, we'll explore some tips and tricks you can use to streamline your next group presentation!

8 Tips for How to Present with a Team

• Talk about what you will say.
• Schedule time to practice your presentation.
• Plan you presentation transitions.
• Look interested in the presentation, even when you aren't talking.
• Compliment and support each other.
• Avoid the 'pile on' effect during the Q&A.
• Write down your observations immediately after presenting.
• Openly discuss with everyone what worked and what didn't.

Guidelines for the Group Presentation Cycle

Group presentations have similar stages and milestones as solo presentations—however, group presentations have their own unique challenges, such as making space for individuals to collaborate and produce a cohesive piece of work.

Click on the boxes below to learn about tips and tricks to help you prepare, present, and debrief during the group presentation cycle!

Preparing the presentation

Choose a project manager.

Your project manager will be the team's chosen leader. In this role, the project manager will facilitate group discussions, ensure that the group agrees on a presentation structure, support group members during disagreements, moderate the Q&A period of the presentation, and oversee any other tasks that help the group stay organized.

Define Your Presentation

Review your assignment carefully and—as a group—define what you want to do and what you need to do for your presentation.

Some questions to consider include:

• What is the main objective of our presentation?
• What key points do we need to cover?
• How would we summarize our presentation in a single sentence ?

Deciding on your message means your group can start building key points around the topic—but keep in mind that each subtopic must contribute to the main objective of your presentation.

Write a Group Contract

A group contract is a document you create with your group that formalizes how members will work together to complete a project (like a presentation!)

If you're new to writing group contracts, check out the group contract section of the Group Work module on the Academic Skills Hub.

A few questions to answer at this stage include:

• How will we divide the work among group members?
• How much time will be given to each person to share their information?
• What is our timeline for completing each part of the project?
• How will we handle communication and updates within the group?
• What visual aids will we use, and how will we share documents with each other?
• Who will edit our slide deck and our script for clarity and consistency?
• Who will handle the presentation tech during the session?

Build Your Presentation Together

It's tempting to work alone after you've divided up the work—but meeting regularly with your group to make shared decisions and agree on edits can lead to a stronger, more cohesive presentation.

A few benefits of close collaboration includes:

• Immediate communication around edits or changes to your presentation content.
• Creating a safe space to talk through challenges or ask for help from group members.
• Preventing content duplication on slides and in the script.
• Receiving feedback on your section's content with enough time to make changes.
• Deciding who will handle specific types of questions during the Q&A portion of the session.

Make sure all group members have access to your group's shared files and folders—if a key person is sick on the day of the presentation, everyone in the group should be able to access that person's script and slide contributions.

Write and Practice Transitions

Clean transitions between speakers can guide your audience smoothly between topics and create a more professional experience.

One way to create transitions is to try the following:

• Briefly summarize what you covered in your section of the presentation.
• Introduce the next speaker in the team and explain what they will discuss.
• End your introduction by looking at the next speaker, gesturing to them, and saying their name.
• The next speaker will then acknowledge your transition.

It could sound like this:

Rupi : So, that was a brief introduction on what social anxiety is and how it can affect someone during a job interview. Now, Sarah will talk about the ways employers can reduce potential anxiety triggers for interviewees. Over to you, Sarah.

Sarah : Thank you, Rupi. Employers often have different approaches to job interviews…

Practice the Presentation

You should never run through your presentation for the first time in front of your class.

Rehearse your presentation multiple times before the due date to make sure:

• Your ideas are well-structured.
• Everyone is sticking to their time (and not going over time).
• You can make edits where they're needed (e.g., correct a slide typo, shorten a spoken section, etc.).
• You know who will answer specific questions during the Q&A section.

The more you rehearse your presentation, the more confident and comfortable you'll feel presenting the content and answering questions.

Introduce the Team

Your project manager can start the presentation with a brief introduction of the team—this is much smoother than each group member introducing themselves. The project manager should also provide a brief introduction to the presentation as well and what topics or subtopics will be covered.

Pay Attention to the Presentation

Stay attentive and engaged while each of your group members is presenting. Your audience can see your whole team throughout the presentation, so it's important to support your group by looking interested in what's being said and by reacting to their content, even if you've heard the content multiple times during rehearsals.

Agree on the Group's Appearance or Vibe

First impressions are important during any presentation, so make sure you're dressing the way you'd like your audience to perceive you. A good guideline is to dress more formally than the members of your audience.

Group members should aim to dress in a similar way (e.g., button-up shirts, similar colour palettes, etc.) and wear clothing that's both professional and comfortable.

Voice and Body Language

Body language and eye contact are useful tools to engage your audience during your presentation—check out the Presenting section in this module to learn more about how to pace yourself and project confidence during your presentation. This section also includes an activity where you can watch a video example of a good presentation vs. a bad presentation.

Write a Strong Conclusion

Since your conclusion is the last section of your presentation, your audience is more likely to remember it. Pick your strongest speaker or your project manager to summarize the key points of your presentation and lead into a clear concluding statement.

For example, if your presentation focused on the impact of social media on self-esteem, you could list all the main points you covered during your session, and then conclude: "Therefore, from the amount and quality of the evidence, we have decided that social media is [negatively/positively] affecting self-esteem."

Moderate the Q&A Period

Presentations often end with a Question and Answer (or Q&A) period where your audience can ask questions about your content. Sometimes, it can be difficult to predict what kinds of questions your audience will ask—but working in a group means that you as an individual don't need to have all the answers.

For a more in-depth look at how to approach the Q&A period, check out the Handling Audience Questions section of this module.

In a group presentation, it can be helpful to decide who will be the subject expert on a particular topic during the Q&A period. For example, if your group presentation focused on social anxiety during job interviews, and you did research on the employer's perspective of this topic, then you would answer any questions relating to the employer's views on job candidates' social anxiety.

Your project manager could also act as a moderator during the Q&A period—they can be the person to address the audience and they can call on the team's subject experts to provide more information when needed.

Debriefing after the presentation

Debriefing refers to a follow-up discussion or a shared analysis of your presentation after it's happened. All experiences—whether positive or negative—can be identified, discussed, and reflected on as a group to improve your individual and shared performance ahead of your next presentation.

You could use the following guidelines to structure your group debrief:

Prepare Some Notes

Before meeting with your group, take some time to review your presentation goals, assignment criteria, and audience feedback. Reflect on what went well and why, what was challenging and why, what you learned from the presentation, and what you would do differently next time. Write down your thoughts and observations, and make sure to share them during the debrief discussion.

Set the Tone and Ground Rules for the Debrief

When you meet with your group, start by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to work together and learn from each other. Make sure to acknowledge and appreciate each other's efforts and contributions to help set a positive and respectful tone for your debrief session.

Before anyone shares their thoughts, make sure to set some ground rules—such as being honest and constructive, listening actively and with empathy, focusing on the process and outcomes, and seeking feedback and suggestions rather than criticism and complaints. Remember, the goal is to learn how you can improve for your next presentation, not to hurt each other's feelings.

Share Your Reflections and Feedback

Invite each group member to share their reflections and feedback. Use the questions you prepared earlier as a guide to structure your discussion.

For example, you might want to talk about what you want to 'Start', 'Stop', or 'Continue' doing in future group presentations. Ask each team member to share specific examples and evidence to support their points.

In addition, encourage each group member to receive feedback with openness and curiosity rather than defensiveness or resistance. Ask questions, clarify misunderstandings, and seek new perspectives.

Identify Key Learnings and Action Steps

Once everyone has shared their ideas, summarize the key learnings and action steps from the debriefing session. A simple format could include reflecting on what was learned, what you're proud of and want to celebrate, what you are dissatisfied with and want to change, and what your goals and plans for future presentations include. Make sure to share notes with everyone in the group.

How to work on a group presentation

Working in a group can be a great way to tackle complicated tasks or share unique knowledge. When it comes to illustrating your team’s results to an audience, it can be tricky to navigate how to pace your presentation and who gets to speak, among other factors. Check out these tips for how to start a presentation speech, how to conclude a group presentation, and everything in between.

How to do a group presentation

Some people thrive working in groups , while others prefer to tackle projects by themselves. Balancing all these differing personalities is one of the key skills to ensuring that your presentation goes smoothly:

Tell your story with captivating presentations

Powerpoint empowers you to develop well-designed content across all your devices

Designate roles and presenting order to team strengths

The clearest way to do set presentation roles, and the order of these roles, is to set them early in the process and based upon the strengths of your group members. Designate roles based on certain skillsets and to keep from duplicating efforts. For example, having one or two people work exclusively on designing your PowerPoint presentation can streamline the process. Depending on how long your presentation is, you can assign everyone on your team three to five slides to discuss.

The importance of practicing

In addition, it helps to rehearse your presentation multiple times to iron out any kinks and build confidence. Practice your presentation together as a group so everyone can be prepared in front of your audience. Here, communication is key, scheduling regular meetings and clearly delegating tasks ensure everyone is on the same page.

How to start a group presentation speech

Just like the rest of your presentation, it helps to have just one person speak at a time. Assign the role of introducer to someone on your team. You can also choose to designate someone as the narrator who can both start the presentation, introduce team members, and finish in the conclusion.

Ensure that they clearly state the purpose of your presentation and provide an overview of what you’ll cover. You can also start with a compelling hook or an intriguing question to grab the audience’s attention. Introduce each member of your group and their roles and expertise to establish credibility and cohesion.

How to conclude a group presentation

At the end of your presentation, it helps to summarize the key points of your presentation and reiterate your main message so that your audience can retain as much information as possible. End with a strong closing statement or call to action to leave a lasting impression on your audience. Thank them for their time and invite further discussion or questions.

Mastering the art of group presentations requires effective collaboration, enough time for preparation, and a confident delivery. Play to your group’s strengths, give everyone plenty of time to speak, and value everyone’s contributions equally.

Neuroscience Says This Is the Best Way to Start a Persuasive Presentation

People want to know the big picture before the details..

An intelligent scientist taught me a fundamental rule of persuasion . I apply the rule to my keynote speeches and teach the concept to CEOs, entrepreneurs, and graduate-level students at Harvard.

The rule is easy to understand and requires just a few minutes of brainstorming before you open PowerPoint or create slides.

The rule simply states:

The brain craves meaning before detail.

According to brain researcher and professor John Medina, if your listeners don't know the big picture -- the meaning -- of the information you're presenting, they'll be unlikely to pay attention to the details.

"Don't start with details," Medina writes in his popular book Brain Rules . "Start with key ideas and, in hierarchical fashion, form the details around these larger notions."

For example, let's say you're pitching a new product. Functions and features are details. The problem it solves is the big picture.

Now, let's assume you're introducing a mobile app for video editing. The big picture can be summarized in one sentence:

Introducing an all-in-one video editing app to create incredible videos in minutes right on your phone.

The features of the app are the details. For example, the app might have slow-motion capture, AI-generated animations, and chroma keying to eliminate or change backgrounds. But those are details that support the big picture.

Every app description in Apple's app store follows the same template -- big picture followed by details.

What's Canva?  " An easy-to-use photo and video editor in one graphic design app."

What's Duolingo?   "Learn a new language with the world's most-downloaded education app."

What's Khan Academy? "The app where you can learn anything, for free."

When I was doing the research for my public speaking book,  Talk Like TED , I learned that the TED organization spends a lot of time with speakers to get their talk's title just right. The title must provide the meaning of the presentation -- what people will learn -- in one short sentence.

TED Talks attention grabbers include:

• How to speak so that people will listen.
• How great leaders inspire action.
• The power of introverts.

The titles are meant to quickly grab your attention and make you curious to learn more. If you want to hear the details, the title has done its job.

Attention-grabbing business presentations often start with the big picture, too.

For example, when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone in 2007, he said that customers would use their fingers instead of a stylus to interact with it. He also demonstrated a larger screen, a full-fledged internet browser, an integrated music player, and many other features and benefits.

Those were all the details. But Jobs kicked off the presentation with the big picture. He said,

"Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone."

Jobs added, "The iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone."

The details of how it works and what it includes explained why it was "five years ahead." But the big picture provided the excitement and interest.

In How People Learn , education researcher John Bransford revealed the strategies that separate novice teachers from experts. The experts, he said, don't just provide a list of facts and formulas. Instead, "their knowledge is organized around core concepts or 'big ideas' that guide their thinking about their domains."

Most presentations aim to help people learn something new, and in doing so, they'll get excited about what you've taught them. So, follow Medina and Bransford's advice:

If you want people to pay attention, don't start with details. Start with the key idea and, in a hierarchical fashion, provide details that support the big picture.

Note: The data cut-off for this product was 12:30pm ET on August 20. ISW will cover subsequent reports in the August 21 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment. Ukrainian forces continued attacking throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on August 20 and recently made additional advances.  Ukrainian forces appear to be continuing efforts to strike Russian pontoon bridges and pontoon engineering equipment west of the current Kursk Oblast salient over the Seim River in Glushkovo Raion—geolocated footage published on August 20 shows Ukrainian drones striking Russian equipment bringing pontoons to a staging area near the Seim River about 3km north of Glushkovo. Satellite imagery indicates that Ukrainian forces have destroyed at least one pontoon bridge across the Seim as of August 19 that was visible on August 17.[1] Some Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces seized Vishnevka (southwest of Koronevo and 14km from the international border), consistent with the Russian Ministry of Defense's (MoD) reporting from August 19 that tacitly acknowledged Ukrainian advances in the Vishnevka area.[2] Geolocated footage published on August 19 shows that Ukrainian forces have advanced westward along Sudzhanskiy Shlyakh Street (38K-030 highway) in eastern Korenevo as well as in fields northeast of Korenevo.[3] Russian milbloggers widely claimed on August 20 that Ukrainian forces continued mechanized assaults on the outskirts of Korenevo and that Russian forces were conducting artillery and airstrikes to contain Ukrainian advances.[4] Russian milbloggers indicated that Russian forces regained some lost positions and advanced in fields south of Safonovka (northeast of Koreveno and 30km from the international border).[5] Geolocated footage published on August 20 shows that Ukrainian forces have also advanced in forested areas north of Russkoye Porechnoye (northeast of Sudzha and 20km from the international border), consistent with Russian milblogger maps that depict Ukrainian advances over the entire administrative boundaries of Russkoye Porechnoye.[6] A prominent Kremlin-affiliated milblogger claimed on August 20 that Ukrainian forces have also advanced up the western outskirts of Russkaya Konopelka, just east of Sudzha.[7] Geolocated footage published on August 20 showing Ukrainian forces towing a captured Russian T-90M tank along the Snagost-Liubimivka road (southeast of Koreveno and 8km from the international border) indicates that Ukrainian forces continue operating well within the maximalist claimed limit of Ukrainian advances in Kursk Oblast.[8] Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi displayed a map depicting the situation in Kursk Oblast on August 20, and ISW will use the boundaries of this map to update its assessment of maximalist claimed limits of Ukrainian advances in Kursk Oblast, consistent with ISW's mapping methodology for the Ukrainian incursion thus far.  During a televised meeting of the Ukrainian Congress of Local and Regional Authorities on August 20, Syrskyi shared a map showing the purported current Ukrainian forward line of troops (FLOT) in Kursk Oblast.[9] Syrskyi's map indicates that Ukrainian forces have advanced slightly beyond ISW's assessed FLOT, namely near Viktorovka (southwest of Koreveno); between Snagost and Koreveno; northeast of Koreveno in the areas north of Kremyanoye and northwest of Pogrebki; east of Malaya Loknya (north of Sudzha); and southeast of Sudzha.[10] Heat anomalies from NASA FIRMS/VIIRS are located in very close proximity to the FLOT depicted in Syrskyi’s map .  ISW will expand its maximalist limit of claimed Ukrainian advances to match Syrskyi's map, but will not recess maximalist claims in areas where they extend beyond Syrskyi's FLOT (the southeasternmost part of the salient, for example), to reflect ISW's methodological commitment to mapping events in Kursk Oblast based off of the  maximal claims made by both Ukrainian and Russian sources in the wider information space.  ISW does not question Syrskyi's presentation of the location of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast and presents them in alignment with Syrskyi's presentation. ISW continues to assess that Ukrainian forces do not control all the territory behind the FLOT according to the doctrinal definition of "control" that ISW uses to shape its control of terrain assessments.[11] The expansion of ISW's map in accordance with Syrskyi's, therefore, should be taken as a recognition of maximal Ukrainian and Russian claims, and not an assessment of Ukraine's control of the area behind the FLOT. Syrskyi's map notably depicts Russian units operating behind the FLOT, especially in the northwestern part of the salient, consistent with ISW's assessment that large portions of the salient are likely contested zones.[12] Ukrainian officials continued to clarify some of the objectives of the Ukrainian operation in Kursk Oblast and reported on the extent of additional Ukrainian advances.  Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on August 20 that Ukrainian forces advanced between 28 to 35 kilometers deep into Kursk Oblast and that they "control" 93 settlements (1,263 square kilometers).[13] Syrskyi stated that Ukrainian advances in Kursk Oblast are pressuring Russian forces to redeploy elements of unspecified units from the frontline in Ukraine to Kursk Oblast, which may impact the tempo and prospect of Russian offensive efforts in Ukraine.[14] Syrskyi also stated that Ukrainian forces aim to establish a buffer zone in Russian territory to prevent Russian forces from shelling Sumy Oblast and to “outpace” the efforts of the Russian forces at large. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on August 19 that the “preventative defense” of the Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast is the most effective countermeasure against Russian forces and that Ukrainian forces have largely "cleared" the Russian border area close to Sumy Oblast of Russian forces.[15] The Ukrainian General Staff reported on August 20 that Ukrainian forces are exhausting the combat potential of Russian forces particularly in Kursk Oblast, acknowledging the Kursk operation.[16] Deputy Chair of the Committee on Ukraine‘s Integration into the European Union (EU) Maria Mezentseva-Fedorenko stated on August 19 that Ukraine is preparing a new round of exchange of prisoners of war (POWs) and civilian hostages with Russia and that Ukraine’s operations in Kursk Oblast comply with international humanitarian law.[17] The Russian military command continues to complicate and bureaucratize its thus-far ineffective command and control (C2) structure for the Russian response to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast.  Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov announced on August 20 that he appointed Russian Deputy Defense Minister Colonel General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov as Deputy Head of the "Coordinating Council" within the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) for military and security issues in Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod oblasts and stated that Yevkurov is already currently in Kursk Oblast.[18] Belousov's decision to appoint Yevkurov — who heads the Russian MoD's Africa Corps and has been the face of Russian military outreach and cooperation with African countries since the dissolution of the Wagner Group in 2023 — may suggest that the Russian MoD removed Yevkurov from his position in Africa Corps, as a Kremlin-affiliated milblogger previously speculated, and that that the Russian MoD is temporarily deprioritizing defense cooperation efforts in Africa in response to the incursion into Kursk Oblast.[19] Belousov also tasked five members of the Coordinating Council with addressing specific issues related to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast. Belousov announced that Deputy Defense Minister Lieutenant General Andrei Bulyga is responsible for resolving logistics, transport, and assisting civilian authorities in civilian evacuations; that Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko is responsible for solving problems related to military-technical support; that Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Fradkov is responsible for engineering and construction; and that the Russian MoD's Main Military Medical Directorate Head Dmitry Trishkin is responsible for medical support.[20] Belousov also announced the creation of the Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod groupings of forces and stated that their unspecified commanders and an unspecified representative of the Russian General Staff are responsible for protecting civilians from drone strikes and other attacks.[21] The Russian MoD additionally created a special task force at the National Defense Control Center to monitor issues in Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod oblasts.[22] The National Defense Control Center's Deputy Head Lieutenant General Yuri Korsachev claimed that the center's task force has already resolved 25 issues voiced by the Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod operational headquarters, of which most requested additional drone supplies, mobile electronic warfare (EW) systems, radios, radio jammers, and all-terrain vehicles.[23] Belousov did not comment on how the Coordination Council officials, the National Defense Control Center's task force, and the newly-created groupings of forces will interact with the existing C2 structure that the Kremlin established when it tasked that Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) with conducting a counterterrorism operation in Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod oblasts. The increasing bureaucratization of the Coordination Council and other Russian MoD structures dedicated to defending against the incursion into Kursk Oblast will likely create additional confusion within the Russian MoD and friction among the Russian MoD, FSB, and Rosgvardia, all of which are attempting to operate in Kursk Oblast. ISW continues to assess that complex and overlapping responsibilities and the seemingly ever-growing list of actors the Kremlin has tasked with responding to the Ukrainian incursion impede Russia's ability to establish effective joint C2 structures.[24] Russian authorities have reportedly re-deployed Russian units from the Chasiv Yar direction to Kursk Oblast amid efforts to address the ongoing Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast with Russian forces previously in the area and re-deployments from lower priority sectors of the frontline in Ukraine.  A Russian milblogger claimed on August 20 that elements of the Russian 11th Airborne (VDV) Brigade struck a Ukrainian armored vehicle in southern Russkaya Konopelka (east of Sudzha), and elements of the Russian 11th VDV Brigade were reportedly operating near Chasiv Yar as of late July 2024.[25] The Russian military command likely re-deployed elements of the 11th VDV Brigade intended to relieve or reinforce frontline units and not units that have been engaged in combat on the frontline, however. ISW previously noted that such deployments could affect the tempo of Russian offensive operations, but that it would likely take several weeks to observe any possible impacts of such redeployments on Russian operations in Donetsk Oblast.[26] ISW continues to assess that the Russian military command is likely extremely averse to pulling Russian military units engaged in combat from higher priority sectors in Donetsk Oblast due to concerns about further slowing the tempo of Russian operations in these directions.[27] Russian sources also claimed that Russian forces re-deployed elements of the 30th Motorized Rifle Regiment (72nd Motorized Rifle Division, 22nd Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) to Kursk Oblast, and elements of the 30th Motorized Rifle Regiment were reportedly operating in northern Kharkiv Oblast as of mid-July 2024.[28] A Ukrainian military observer claimed that an unspecified element of the 4th Tank Division (1st Guards Tank Army [GTA], Moscow Military District [MMD]) is also operating in Kursk Oblast, although the military observer insinuated that the element was operating in the area prior to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast.[29] ISW has previously observed additional indications that Russian authorities are largely relying on an amalgamation of conscripts, irregular Russian forces, and regular Russian forces re-deployed from lower priority frontline areas in Ukraine to counter the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast.[30] Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the site of the 2004 Beslan school siege on August 20, likely in an effort to link the Russian "counterterrorism" response to the Ukrainian operation in Kursk Oblast to a "successful" Russian counterterrorism operation in the early 2000s.  Putin arrived in the North-Ossetia Alania Republic on August 20 and visited the memorial to the 2004 Beslan school siege as well as the site of the siege itself.[31] This was Putin's first visit to the school and his second to the city since August 2008.[32] Terrorists affiliated with the Chechen separatist Riyad-us Saliheen Brigade took over 1,000 adults and children hostage in a Beslan school over three days in September 2004, resulting in the deaths of more than 330 people, including 186 children.[33] The Russian response to the 2004 terrorist attack was documented to be inefficient and dangerous. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2017 that local Russian authorities knew about the 2004 terrorist attack beforehand but did not increase security or warn the public.[34] The European Court also stated that the Russian security services' response lacked formal leadership and rules about how to engage terrorists, resulting in uncoordinated actions that endangered the hostages. Putin alleged on August 20 that Russia is currently fighting terrorists in Kursk Oblast and Ukraine, just as Russia fought terrorists in Beslan in 2004, claiming that Russia will emerge similarly victorious against Ukraine.[35] Putin met with representatives of the "Mothers of Beslan" Association of Victims of Terrorist Acts organization on August 20, and the Kremlin's reporting on the meeting attempted to portray Putin as sympathetic to mothers' complaints – likely in response to the potential growing threat to Putin's regime posed by family members complaining about the ongoing involvement of Russian conscripts in Kursk Oblast.[36]  Russian opposition news outlet  Agentsvo  reported that Aneta Gadieva, one of the "Mothers of Beslan" representatives present at the meeting, stated that most of the conversation focused on why Russian officials had not closed the investigation into the 2004 attack.[37] Gadieva noted that Putin promised the organization during their last meeting in 2005 that he would take control of the investigation. Putin reportedly attempted to shift the blame for this inaction away from himself during the August 20 meeting, claiming that he was unaware of the prolonged investigation and that he would contact Russian Investigative Committee Head Alexander Bastrykin about the matter. Gadieva also stated   that the women told Putin that unspecified Russian officials are not conveying the whole truth to him about the situation in Kursk Oblast and that Federal Security Service (FSB) border guards, conscripts, and other servicemembers from the North Ossetia-Alania Republic have been captured, calling for Putin to secure their release.[38] The Kremlin has not publicized the reported discussions about the Beslan investigation or conscripts in Kursk Oblast, instead highlighting Putin's statements that he is aware that the women of the "Mothers of Beslan" organization cannot take advantage of sanatorium programs due to the lack of childcare at the facilities — a relatively extraneous point compared to the women's reported emphasis during the meeting on the shortcomings of the 20-year-long official investigation. Putin also notably incorrectly claimed during the meeting that 136 children died in the 2004 siege, when in fact 186 children died.[39] Mothers' organizations have been able to steer large Russian social movements in the past, as with the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers (later renamed the Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers), which rallied around issues with Soviet conscripts in the late 1980s and early 1990s and successfully called for greater transparency in the Soviet military, and Putin showed great concern in 2022 about societal backlash about Russia's use of conscripts in the war in Ukraine following appeals made by conscripts' mothers.[40]   Key Takeaways: Ukrainian forces continued attacking throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on August 20 and recently made additional advances. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi displayed a map depicting the situation in Kursk Oblast on August 20, and ISW will use the boundaries of this map to update its assessment of maximalist claimed limits of Ukrainian advances in Kursk Oblast, consistent with ISW's mapping methodology for the Ukrainian incursion thus far. Russian authorities have reportedly re-deployed Russian units from the Chasiv Yar direction to Kursk Oblast amid efforts to address the ongoing Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast with Russian forces previously in the area and re-deployments from lower priority sectors of the frontline in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the site of the 2004 Beslan school siege on August 20, likely in an effort to link the Russian "counterterrorism" response to the Ukrainian operation in Kursk Oblast to a "successful" Russian counterterrorism operation in the early 2000s. Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Donetsk City. Russian federal subjects (regions) continue to increase monetary incentives for signing Russian military contracts in order to bolster Russia's force generation efforts. We do not report in detail on Russian war crimes because these activities are well-covered in Western media and do not directly affect the military operations we are assessing and forecasting. We will continue to evaluate and report on the effects of these criminal activities on the Ukrainian military and the Ukrainian population and specifically on combat in Ukrainian urban areas. We utterly condemn Russian violations of the laws of armed conflict and the Geneva Conventions and crimes against humanity even though we do not describe them in these reports. Russian Main Effort – Eastern Ukraine (comprised of three subordinate main efforts) Russian Subordinate Main Effort #1 – Push Ukrainian forces back from the international border with Belgorod Oblast and approach to within tube artillery range of Kharkiv City Russian Subordinate Main Effort #2 – Capture the remainder of Luhansk Oblast and push westward into eastern Kharkiv Oblast and encircle northern Donetsk Oblast Russian Subordinate Main Effort #3 – Capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast Russian Supporting Effort – Southern Axis Russian Air, Missile, and Drone Campaign Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts Russian Technological Adaptations Activities in Russian-occupied areas Ukrainian Defense Industrial Base Efforts Russian Information Operations and Narratives Significant Activity in Belarus Russian Main Effort – Eastern Ukraine Russian Subordinate Main Effort #1 – Kharkiv Oblast   ( Russian objective: Push Ukrainian forces back from the international border with Belgorod Oblast and approach to within tube artillery range of Kharkiv City) Limited positional engagements continued in northern Kharkiv Oblast on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. A Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted a reinforced platoon-sized mechanized counterattack near Hlyboke (north of Kharkiv City), but that Russian forces repelled the assault and prevented Ukrainian troops from re-establishing lost positions.[41] Ukraine's Kharkiv Group of Forces reported that Russian forces are preparing to re-intensify assault operations in Vovchansk (northeast of Kharkiv City) and are conducting TOS-1A thermobaric artillery strikes against high-rise buildings to set conditions for future ground assaults.[42] Ukrainian and Russian sources reported continued fighting north of Kharkiv City near Hlyboke and Lyptsi, as well as within Vovchansk.[43] Elements of the Russian 11th Tank Regiment (18th Motorized Rifle Division, 11th Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) and 7th Motorized Rifle Regiment (11th AC, LMD) reportedly continue to operate near Hlyboke and Lyptsi, while elements of the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade (Pacific Fleet) are reportedly operating in the general northern Kharkiv Oblast direction.[44] Russian Subordinate Main Effort #2 – Luhansk Oblast  (Russian objective: Capture the remainder of Luhansk Oblast and push westward into eastern Kharkiv Oblast and northern Donetsk Oblast) Russian forces continued ground attacks along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces crossed the Zherebets River and gained a foothold in the direction of Hrekivka (northwest of Kreminna).[45] ISW has not observed visual evidence of this claim but assesses that Russian forces have advanced across the Zherebets River in northern Makiivka (northwest of Kreminna and just east of Hrekivka). Another Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces are slowly advancing toward Kolisnykivka (southeast of Kupyansk).[46] Fighting continued northeast of Kupyansk near Synkivka; east of Kupyansk near Petropavlivka; southeast of Kupyansk near Hlushkivka, Stelmakhivka, Kruhlyakivka and toward Novoosynove and Lozova; west of Svatove near Andriivka; southwest of Svatove near Novoyehorivka and Novoserhiivka; northwest of Kreminna near Makiivka, Nevske, Novosadove, and Hrekivka; west of Kreminna near Torske; south of Kreminna in the Serebryanske forest area; and southwest of Kreminna near Dibrova on August 19 and 20.[47] Russian Subordinate Main Effort #3 – Donetsk Oblast  (Russian objective: Capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, the claimed territory of Russia’s proxies in Donbas) Russian forces continued ground attacks in the Siversk direction on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces advanced south and southeast of Vyimka (southeast of Siversk), but ISW has not observed visual confirmation of this claim.[48] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces continued assaults east of Siversk near Verkhnokamyanske; southeast of Siversk near Spirne, Ivano-Darivka, and Vyimka; and south of Siversk near Pereizne on August 19 and 20.[49] Elements of the Russian 106th Airborne (VDV) Division are reportedly operating near Pereizne.[50] Russian forces continued offensive operations near Chasiv Yar; east of Chasiv Yar near Ivanivske, and southeast of Chasiv Yar near Klishchiivka and Andriivka on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline.[51] Russian forces advanced east and southeast of Toretsk amid continued offensive operations in the area on August 20. Geolocated footage published on August 20 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced along Tsentralna and Molodizhna streets in northwestern and western Pivnichne (east of Toretsk).[52] Additional geolocated footage published on August 14 and 18 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced in northwestern and western Zalizne (east of Toretsk) and have seized the Artem Mine's waste heap (on the western outskirts of Zalizne).[53] Ukrainian outlet  Ukrainska Pravda  reported that sources within the leadership of a Ukrainian brigade operating in the Toretsk direction stated that Ukrainian forces still "control" around 20 percent of Niu York, but that Russian forces are advancing in the area.[54] Russian milbloggers reiterated claims that Russian forces cleared Ukrainian forces from Niu York (south of Toretsk), completely seized Niu York, and advanced towards Nelipivka (just north of Niu York and south of Toretsk), although ISW has not observed confirmation of these claims.[55] Elements of the Russian 1st "Slavic" Motorized Rifle Brigade's (1st Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] Army Corps [AC]) "Storm" assault unit are reportedly operating within Zalizne.[56] Russian forces recently marginally advanced east of Pokrovsk amid continued offensive operations in the area on August 20. Geolocated footage published on August 20 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced within southeastern Hrodivka (east of Pokrovsk).[57] Russian advances through Hrodivka will likely slow as Russian forces begin to fight through the settlement's more urban areas, and Russian forces may struggle to maintain their current tempo of advance as they attempt to advance further west to Myrnohrad (just northeast of Pokrovsk) and Pokrovsk, as these towns are larger and more densely urbanized in comparison to the small and mainly rural settlements that Russian forces have seized east of Pokrovsk and west of Avdiivka thus far. The tempo of Russian advances in the area will also depend on how well-manned and equipped the Ukrainian forces defending these towns will be. Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces also advanced southeast of Pokrovsk near Marynivka, Mykolaivka, and Komyshivka and towards Novohrodivka, but ISW has not observed visual confirmation of these claims.[58] Russian forces continued offensive operations east of Pokrovsk near Vozdvyzhenka and Mykhailivka and in the direction of Zelene Pole and southeast of Pokrovsk near Kalynivka, Ptyche, and Skuchne on August 19 and 20.[59] Elements of the Russian "Volga" Brigade are reportedly operating near Novohrodivka.[60] Russian forces recently advanced west of Donetsk City amid continued offensive operations in the area on August 20. Geolocated footage published on August 18 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced in northwestern Krasnohorivka.[61] Russian milbloggers claimed that fighting continued in Krasnohorivka on August 20.[62] Russian forces continued offensive operations southwest of Donetsk City on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces advanced near Vodyane.[63] Fighting continued near Kostyantynivka, Solodke, Vodyane, Volodymyrivka, and Vuhledar on August 19 and 20.[64] Elements of the Russian "Kaira" Detachment (39th Motorized Rifle Brigade, 68th Army Corps [AC], Eastern Military District [EMD]) are reportedly operating near Kostyantynivka.[65] Neither Russian nor Ukrainian sources reported ground attacks in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area on August 20. Russian Supporting Effort – Southern Axis  (Russian objective: Maintain frontline positions and secure rear areas against Ukrainian strikes) Positional engagements continued in western Zaporizhia Oblast on August 20, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces unsuccessfully attacked north of Robotyne near Novodanylivka on August 20.[66] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces unsuccessfully attacked in the Kherson direction, including in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast and on the Dnipro River delta islands, on August 20.[67] Elements of the Russian 80th Motorized Rifle Brigade (14th Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD], formerly Northern Fleet) and unspecified elements of the Russian 18th Combined Arms Army (CAA) (Southern Military District [SMD]) are reportedly operating in the Kherson direction.[68] Ukrainian Navy Spokesperson Captain Third Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk reported on August 20 that Russian forces are struggling to repair Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) ships that Ukrainian strikes have damaged.[69] Pletenchuk stated that Ukrainian forces have prevented Russian forces from effectively using Russia's main naval repair base in occupied Sevastopol, Crimea, and that it is not logistically viable for Russia to transfer the ships for repair to other naval bases such as Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai.[70] Pletenchuk stated that Russian forces are using aviation and drones for reconnaissance on the western and southern coasts of occupied Crimea instead of using damaged surface ships, impairing the BSF's combat capabilities. Pletenchuk also reported that Russian forces have transferred two small Karakurt-class corvettes equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea to threaten Ukrainian forces, although Pletenchuk noted that the Kalibr missiles no longer pose the same magnitude of threat to Ukrainian forces as they did at the beginning of the war.[71] Russian Air, Missile, and Drone Campaign  (Russian Objective: Target Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure in the rear and on the frontline) Russian forces conducted a series of drone and missile strikes against Ukraine on the night of August 19 to 20. Ukrainian Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk reported on August 20 that Russian forces launched two Iskander-M or North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles from Voronezh Oblast; one Iskander-K cruise missile from Bryansk Oblast; an unspecified number of Kh-59 cruise missiles from Kursk and occupied Zaporizhia oblasts; and 26 Shahed-136/131 drones from Kursk Oblast and Yeysk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai.[72] Oleshchuk stated that Ukrainian forces shot down one Iskander-K cruise missile, two Kh-59 cruise missiles, and 25 Shahed-136/131 drones over Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Kirovohrad, Sumy, and Chernihiv oblasts.[73] Kharkiv Oblast Military Administration Head Oleh Synehubov stated that Russian forces struck civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv Oblast with two Kh-38 air-to-surface missiles and three anti-aircraft missiles.[74] Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Serhii Lysak reported that Ukrainian forces destroyed two unspecified cruise missiles and two drones over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.[75] The Ternopil Oblast Military Administration reported that Russian forces also struck an industrial facility and caused a fire at a fuel and lubricant warehouse in Ternopil Oblast on the night of August 19 to 20.[76] Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts  (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization) Russian federal subjects (regions) continue to increase monetary incentives for signing Russian military contracts in order to bolster Russia's force generation efforts. Russian opposition outlet  Idel Realii  stated on August 19 that the Mari El Republic increased one-time payments to Russian contract soldiers ( kontraktniki ) to one million rubles (about $10,970).[77] Russian opposition outlet  7x7 - Horizontal Russia  stated that 36 Russian federal subjects have increased their one-time payments to  kontrakniki  in 2024 and that 11 federal subjects – Stavropol and Krasnodar krais; Moscow, Leningrad, Rostov, and Volgograd oblasts; the Adygea, Karachay-Cherkassia, Kabardino-Balkarian, and Tatarstan republics; and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug – are paying Russian  kontraktniki  one million rubles or more.[78] Russian military authorities reportedly continue to physically abuse injured Russian servicemembers and forcibly redeploy them to Ukraine. Russian opposition media reported on August 20 that military authorities are holding and physically abusing wounded mobilized personnel at the headquarters of the 272nd Motorized Rifle Regiment (47th Tank Division, 1st Guards Tank Army [GTA], Moscow Military District [MMD]) in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast before sending them back to fight in Ukraine without medical treatment.[79] Russian medical, legal, and investigative authorities are reportedly aware of these incidents but not taking any action. Russian milbloggers have recently complained that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is providing inadequate medical care to injured soldiers and improperly returning injured personnel to service, including fighting on the frontline.[80] Russian Technological Adaptations  (Russian objective: Introduce technological innovations to optimize systems for use in Ukraine) Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec claimed on August 20 that it has tested a modified Pantsir-SM-SV air defense system in combat.[81] The modified Pantsir reportedly includes two types of air defense missiles with an increased range and a new tracked chassis that can traverse snow and off-road conditions. Ukrainian Defense Industrial Efforts  (Ukrainian objective: Develop its defense industrial base to become more self-sufficient in cooperation with US, European, and international partners) ISW is suspending publishing coverage of Ukrainian defense industrial efforts until further notice. Activities in Russian-occupied areas  (Russian objective: Consolidate administrative control of annexed areas; forcibly integrate Ukrainian citizens into Russian sociocultural, economic, military, and governance systems) ISW is not publishing coverage of activities in Russian-occupied areas today. Russian officials and commentators continue to deliberately misrepresent Ukraine's legitimate efforts to guard against the influence of the Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) as Ukraine persecuting religious minorities. The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada adopted a draft law on August 20 that prohibits the activities of any religious organizations affiliated with the ROC and gives ROC-controlled Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP) parishes nine months to officially sever ties with the ROC.[82] This draft law is intended to secure Ukraine's "spiritual independence" and protect against the influence of the UOC MP, which Ukrainian officials recognize as an "integral part" of the Kremlin's regime and efforts to control Ukraine.[83] ISW has reported at length on the links between the ROC's spiritual doctrine and the Kremlin's pro-war ideology and has observed that the UOC MP is not an independent religious organization but an extension of the Kremlin and a tool of Russian hybrid warfare that seeks to enforce Russian ideologies in Ukrainian society and persecute religious minorities in occupied Ukraine.[84] Russian and ROC officials responded to the August 20 Verkhovna Rada bill, however, by accusing Ukraine of "destroying" Orthodoxy and violating religious freedoms—echoing several long-standing Russian narratives that seek to weaponize religion in an effort to discredit the Ukrainian government both domestically and abroad.[85] The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople granted the Autocephalous (independent) Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) independence from the Moscow Patriarchate in 2019, and the OCU is not related to the UOC MP.[86] Significant activity in Belarus  (Russian efforts to increase its military presence in Belarus and further integrate Belarus into Russian-favorable frameworks and Wagner Group activity in Belarus) Nothing significant to report. Note: ISW does not receive any classified material from any source, uses only publicly available information, and draws extensively on Russian, Ukrainian, and Western reporting and social media as well as commercially available satellite imagery and other geospatial data as the basis for these reports.

CRW Flags - Flag of Krasnodar Territory, Russia Recent News Krasnodar , kray (territory), southwestern Russia , extending northward from the crest line of the Caucasus Mountains across the plains east of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov as far as the Gulf of Taganrog. The plains, crossed by the Kuban and other rivers flowing to the Sea of Azov, form two-thirds of the region. Their steppe-grass vegetation on rich soils has been almost entirely plowed under. Widespread salt marshes and lagoons line the Azov coast.
