Imagine you are the regional manager of a grocery store chain, and you are going to conduct a professional development session to teach your staff about team building techniques for more effective communication among departments.
You will form a group of 2-3 students. Your task is to each create a 4-5 minute presentation supported by PowerPoint slides on one of the following topics:
- Team Communication in the Workplace
- Collaborative Projects
- Establishing Workplace Etiquette
You should each choose a different topic as you will be presenting to one another in an online setting. Your PowerPoint presentation should have a minimum of four slides: a title page, content slides, and conclusion. You must email your instructor and your group a copy of your slide deck before the presentation.
