Communication And Presentation Skills

Introduction

Communication has been the backbone of organizational effectiveness. When we talk or when we write, we all believe that we are communicating. Most often than not, we are unaware of the fact that very often we either do not communicate properly or we take the other’s ability to receive our communication correctly for granted.

The present Program aims at improving the communication and presentation skills of the participants by making them aware of certain usual (and some times unusual) problems in communication. Participants are made aware of their own psychological and behavioural dynamics, which hinder their communication skills and presentation activities.

The philosophy of the program is: Source of all personal stress, interpersonal conflicts and teams’ disharmony, bad leadership and managerial behavior lie in bad relationships and all breakdowns in relationships occur because of sloppy communication.

In the contemporary era, presentation skills for managers have become an imperative requirement. Managers in all roles starting with departmental meetings or budget demands or winning a customer or arguing his/her point of view need to display exemplary skill in presenting his/her case.

Thus if one is aware of his / her own deficiencies and psychological / behavioural barriers to communicate and to present his/her points of view effectively, he/she can greatly reduce his/her own as well as the organization’s problems on his/her own, manage effectively and attain peace of mind. In this whole process, the presentation skill plays a very important role.
