Workshop on Effective Communication and Stress Management

A day long workshop was organized on “Effective Communication and Stress Management” on December11, 2008 with Dr. Karnika Datta, Behavioural Psychologist and renowned Corporate Consultant. The practicum aimed at honing up the communication skills of the students and acquainting them about the pitfalls & barriers in effective communication. 

Dr. Datta initiated her session with practical demonstrations on the common mistakes made by individuals while speaking in public, delivering a lecture, during interview, or making presentations. She also elucidated the apprentices about communication and its barriers with the help of various tools like Chinese whisper. Some interesting exercises and games were effectively used by the speaker to convey her message and engross the participants in the session. 

 Dr. Karnika concluded her session with this inspirational quote by Mr. Robert Frost ‘Half the world is filled with people who have something to say and can’t say it…. and the other half of people who have nothing to say and keep saying it.’
