How to Prepare and Deliver a Great Team Presentation

by Lenny Laskowski

Over the past two months, you and your team have put together a presentation for an important client for next Tuesday. Today you held your first "dry run," and you found numerous problems — most of them fixable. But two problems involve visual aids, and one involves a sharp disagreement with the account manager about what you can promise and what you can't. You're pretty sure that you can't get the visual aids fixed by Tuesday, and things are now pretty sour on the team. How did you get here? Why didn't you find out about these problems before now? And how can you avoid these problems in the future?

ost team presentations run into glitches — that's perfectly normal, with anything even half as complex as a team presentation. What's sad is that most of the glitches that trip up even high-performance teams are so predictable. The troubles tend to arise from inadequate planning and testing, and they're easy to prevent — once you know what Lenny Laskowski knows.

Team presentations are a bit different from other kinds of presentations — they usually have a lot more riding on them. So, to all the stress of standing up in front of a crowd, add the intense pressure of a high-stakes adventure, and — usually — not enough time to prepare for it.
