He emphasized the importance & the art of storytelling to develop good Public speaking skills. He told a story about himself & how that self-confidence & hard work can make us succeed & settle well in life despite all the challenges that one will face in life after graduating from college.
The Art of Asking Questions is one of the very efficient ways of interacting with people is by asking questions. Questions are of two types open-ended & close-ended. Close-ended questions have a Yes or a No as the answer, while open-ended questions need an explanation as to the answer. So when and how to ask questions in order to get information and make the right decision, he informed.
Confidence: The most important skill for public speaking is Confidence which most people lack. When one comes in front of an audience it is the speaker’s confidence that will make him or her a good speaker.
A fixed focus on the goal that takes us towards it is an absolute necessity. If we lose focus we only see obstacles & not the goal he explained.
The Session was concluded by thanking the participants. The webinar was attended by more than 100 participants from all over the country.
