Tonight I had a meeting with my MBA class to discuss our international trip that we will be taking in the upcoming months. The session was about 2 hours long and really could have been condensed to about 30 minutes. I admire the fact the professors were taking the time to share their experiences and give feedback but at times the conversation did not flow very. It is safe to say that the train was derailed and the key points were really not discussed in enough detail.
In my opinion when presenting you have to have a direct plan of action and a clear message. It is important to outline in the beginning of the presentation what the goals of the session will be and what the audience can expect to take away. There is certainly a time for questions in every meeting but as a moderator this has to be managed appropriately. A large group will lose focus very quickly if they do not see the value in the presentation. Paying attention can be challenging for some and if you notice the group getting restless it might be a good idea to regroup and refocus.
