My Story - A function at Dixon House Neighbourhood Learning Centre

Dixon House Neighbourhood Learning Centre hosted an event on 28/11/2019 evening to thank the volunteers. I was invited for being a mentor to job seekers and a guest speaker on an occasion.

A few weeks ago, as a guest speaker I gave a 10-minute presentation on Communication and Communication Skill. The content of the presentation covered how to handle Stage Fright.

For people who have met me in person can testify that I have no problems in communicating on 1-to-1 basis or with a large audience.

In my true form, I mingled with many guestsat the volunteer function, including the person who gave impetus for my presentation on communication.

Did he benefit from my presetation? Sure did, and he thanked me for the rechnique in hadling stage fright.

Thank you for reading.

Communication and Communication Skill

Communication and Communication Skill

I was given 10 minutes only to present to an audience about Communication and Communication Skill.

The audience was a group of job seekers who had just finished a hands-on session in writing a job application conducted by Michelle Yau-James. Due to this reason, I designed the content of my presentation to stay relevant to what they had been doing.

The following is an outline of my presentation:

• Concept of communication
• Relevance of communication in job application
• Different modes of communication
• Two keywords for successful communication
• 1-on-1 communication versus presentation to a group
• Method to overcome stage fright
• Application of communication technique in writing job application and handling interview

Three attendees stayed back and had further discussion with me. They were very pleased with how I used simple examples to explain the concept and application of communication.

I also answered some of their questions not related to the presentation. In addition, I gave them a good lesson on how to obtain information from someone without asking for it directly.

My parting message to them was “Change your mindset!”

Thank you for reading.
