This was the most interesting communication sessions that I had attended.
- No handouts
- No theory
- No powerpoint
- No movie clips
- Only discussion and interactive sessions
I didn't come out of the workshop "Empowered" with a new theory but with self-realisation of my potential strengths.
In the age of digital technology and flashy powerpoints, this was a new discovery...
- 93% of the communication is personality driven. People make decisions (within first 30 secs) about you
- 7% is the content, which needs to be meaningful. The listener shouldn't decide whether he/she wants to listen to you or no. The communication should be compelling enough.
- Silence has immense power. Helps to elicit response and exercise control over delivery. The use of effective silence was another great discovery.
- Use of notes, though maybe old fashioned, but is always recommended. It is a great way to gather content and self confidence.
I didn't know it was all that easy! All you have to do is not to use powerpoint as the communication medium :)
