Welcome to Module 13.

With a specific lens toward feedback structures, this module examines the interplay between group dynamics, speech assignments, audience expectations, and presentation design to ensure seamless planning, organization, and delivery in group presentations. Group presentations in various professions encompass a wide array of scenarios, from sales teams sharing data to research and development teams discussing expansion ideas. Both governmental and private sectors involve numerous committees engaging in formal presentations. These group presentations consolidate the expertise of multiple individuals, necessitating coordinated efforts to determine the most relevant information for the audience. Coordination entails aligning themes, providing robust support, and accommodating diverse personalities and approaches within a specified timeframe.
