The fifth seminar under the banner ‘Conscientia’ was conducted on the topic ‘Effective Communication’. Held on 27th July, 2024, it was conducted with the intention of providing the youth of today with a highly essential and sought-after soft skill, ‘Communication’. Achieving adequate grip on this skill not only enhances one’s professional but also personal life, and as such, was decided to be included in our plans for this year.
The speaker for the day was Mr. Steven Paul Ponaganti, an MA literature graduate who is currently waiting to pursue his PhD. He has also worked as a lecturer at two different collegiate institutions and had chosen to speak on this topic as it is of interest to him.
The session began with the speaker giving the learners a glimpse at what some of the most famous personalities have quoted about effective communication to get the learners motivated about acquiring this skill. Then, the speaker went on to outline the types of communication and the sub-categories of these types. This was followed up by some interesting examples and an anecdote from the speaker’s life before the session was wrapped up.
Overall, the feedback received was quite positive as the attendees found the session’s content useful and relevant to their daily needs.
