Just imagine…if you receive lots of emails every day, how you will give priority to it without reading all? Confused? Yes, me too!!!
This is what a learning process for me in a session of today. Session started with a small and intelligent game. Participants were divided in to three groups and they have been given cards of different colours. They need to read out content and explain to other members within the group. As soon as first process got over, members were shambled. Again members asked to explain content to group other members in their new team without help of card. Of course it was a bit tough task. Sill almost all has done a good job. How this could be possible? Whether every member could remember whole of the content and explained in the same manner? No!
The second part of the game started later on. Cards were again given to members with headings. As per the exercise, we need to match heading with content in respective card. Our team did a phenomenal job. We committed mistake in two cards only.
Take out from the game is to increase memory power, reading ability (called as bird’s eye) explanation power. Question may arise as to how we can do this?
Very simple…!
Just memorized some important words and based on that explain to others. Remember important words from heading, specific words and or content. We may mark underline topic if needed. This exercise can be useful even in story telling too. We need to remember that essence is more important than going through each and every word of the story. What we generally do is try to remember each and every word and consequently loose control over natural expressions. Here if we may jot down some important points and memorize then I don’t feel it may be difficult to express.
Now let me to come to my first question. When we have several emails then it may be a cumbersome process to read each and every. If we know this technique then from subject line/heading and focusing eye on some of the important words, we can justify crux of the email.
I got good feedback on writing task. Mistake I did was excessive usage of continuous tense “ing”, which should be avoided. I’ll take care in my redraft.
The third phase of the session started with long awaiting process of story telling. It’s an art. Some of us have done a phenomenal job. General feedback we got was to focus more on expression using key points, be natural and make use of gestures. It should not be as artificial which resembles like student in a school telling story to classmates in a free periodJ. I feel it as an important process which we can apply during our presentation to attract audience.
