My name is Carl Kwan; lecturer, consultant, voice actor & radio personality helping businesses

with presentations, promo videos & marketing. If you've ever given a group presentation,

you would know that group presentations pose their own challenges.

One such challenge is knowing what to say when you finish what you have to say and have

to hand the presentation over to the next speaker.

So here is a simple, three step process for when you have to introduce the next speaker:

The first thing you have to do is summarise what you said.

You can say something like... "So that is an introduction to the song Gangnam

style." Now you're going to introduce the next speaker.

It's actually pretty simple, but what I want you to notice is that there are three distinct

parts. See if you can figure out what those three

parts are. Ready?

"Here now is Nathan McMurray, Attorney at Law, to talk about the legal ramifications

of doing the Gangnam Style dance while at work."

Did you get them? I knew you would. But for those that didn't catch those three

parts, here they are: First, I introduced the person's name by saying,

"Here now is Nathan McMurray." Second, I told you his title, "Attorney at

Law." If the person you are introducing doesn't

have a title, then you can tell us where he or she's from, or just something to help us

understand who the person is. Third, I told you what he was going to talk

about by saying, "to talk about…" Okay, by now you have just summarised what

you said, introduced the next speaker, and now you're finished, right?

Wrong! This was a three-step process, remember?

And step three is where you tell the speaker that it's time for him or her to speak.

All you have to say is their name. Just like this:

"Nathan." Make sure you use the same intonation that

I just used and that you also look over to the person and motion to them with your hand

like I just did. There you go, a simple, three step process

for when you have to introduce the next speaker. First, summarise what you said.

Second, introduce the next speaker. And third, tell the next speaker it's time

to speak. Question time…

What would people say is the hardest part about giving a group presentation?
