Workshop on Positive Communication

Communication- the Human connection is the key to personal and professional success. To be successful in the teaching profession, positive communication is an essential tool.

Abhyasa misses no opportunity to upgrade the skills of her teachers through workshops. One such workshop was held on Sunday the 3rd of November, 2019. The teachers enjoyed a session of training right on Day one of the second semester in order to make them more polished in their communication. The topic of the workshop was 'Positive Communication', which every teacher needs to develop, in order to be successful.

The workshop conducted by Mr. Somnath, NLP Practitioner and trainer was attended by all the teachers of Abhyasa and Aalingana Schools. This is the second workshop by Mr. Somnath after his session on Neuro - Linguistic programme conducted on June 6th, 2019.

The session started with two of the teachers sharing their experiences during the holidays. This was followed by the definition and purpose of communication, elicited interactively. The need for positive communication was emphasised. Slides showing how negative speech affects the mental strength of the people changing negative words into positive words etc were projected. Finally a short exercise was done in which teachers were paired up and described the character of each other using positive words. The others who were observers had to say "switch" whenever a negative word was used.

The three hour session was thoroughly enjoyed by the participating teachers who vowed to use only positive words to the students and also to encourage the students to use positive communication.
