Personal-Professional Development Report: Team Based Problem Solving

Presentation skills for just one individual involve presenting the information in a clear, easy-to-understand manner in small bytes of data that viewers can easily digest and doing so in a way that captures and holds interest throughout the presentation. In a team, there are additional factors to consider. If multiple people will be delivering the presentation, there needs to be effective transition from one to the next, and a sense of continuity throughout in spite of different team member personalities and delivery styles. In addition, there must be attention to the proportion of the presentation that each person makes, so that everyone has a roughly equal opportunity to participate in the presentation. The presentation can be made with different people having different roles that are not necessarily proportional, instead of all of them having the same role that is just traded off, and when that is the case, the distinctiveness of each role is what allows all of the team members to participate equally, even if their presentation time is not the same.
