JIMS Rohini organised a webinar on “Personal Excellence” on 17th July, 2021 for PGDM-Retail Management students batch (2021-23). The resource person was Mr. Ankit Kalonia, Corporate Trainer.
Highlighting the importance of nonverbal cues such as tone of voice, gestures, and posture;and how they play an integral part in making all the difference while communicating, Mr. Ankit gave the students amazing tips and tricks as to how they can use them in their favour.
He presented various examples such as 'Power Pose', 'Smile on face', ‘Straight and not slouching back’, etc which not only delivers a stronger impact of one’s speech towards the listener, but also makes the speaker feel way more confident.
Speaking one’s minds out is the next area he focused on wherein he motivated the students to speak up confidently.
One the most important lessons that the students learnt in the session was towards the need to articulate their knowledge well, i.e, precisely and clearly. For this, one needs to focus on the body posture and gestures, and mindfully use them.
Eg: Hand movement is common while delivering a speech but overdoing it may be distracting for the audience.
Lastly,he taught the importance of taking feedback and working on one’s in competencies.
All these factors can slowly, but surely lead people towards their respective'Personal Excellence'.
The session proved to be very useful in creating ripples of change and new perspectives in student’s minds.
