How to lead a group presentation without overshadowing team members?

Do not dim your own light so others can shine. Glow like a galaxy together! Try 3 ways:

  1. Introduce the team! Make their bios short and compelling, and you’ll sound confident, gracious, and a total leader.
  2. Not everyone feels comfortable with extended public speaking, so ask first. And the truth is most people are not great at it. Encourage and support those developing team members, or have them take on small but standout speaking roles like Q&A facilitator, product demo, or even a timekeeper.
  3. Give credit where credit is due and do it publicly during the presentation. You can acknowledge contributions when transitioning between sections, add a “shine moment” at the start or the end with a teamwork story, whichever makes most sense.
