Small vs large groups

Group size will affect the way you interact with them.

Small groups

• Good for decision making and communicating information
• Encourage connection and cooperation between members
• Engage with the speaker by nodding and offering reassuring comments occasionally
• Address questions and ideas as they come up

Large groups

• Good for communication information, but not for decision making
• Making connections can be difficult
• Avoid distracting behaviours so you don’t disrupt other audience members
• Wait until the end of the presentation before asking questions or offering ideas
