CHAPTER 29

Most of us will spend a substantial portion of our educational and professional lives communicating in small groups or teams (usually between three and twenty people) as opposed to a large public audience,¹ and many of the experiences we have as speakers—in the classroom, workforce, or in virtual groups online—occur in a group setting. In a virtual group, members who are geographically dispersed interact and exchange ideas through mediated communication such as e-mail, texting, and videoconferencing.² Whether they are virtual or face-to-face, groups often report on the results they’ve achieved, and some groups form solely for the purposes of coordinating oral presentations. Thus clear communication is vital to working cooperatively in groups and to getting to the point where you have something worthwhile to report.
