Bangalore SHG – 21/09/2014

Hi Team,
         Today’s session was all about breaking
patterns and challenging the unknown. We had sunny morning in Namma
Bengaluru and the Pws turned up in good strength and showed high
enthusiasm. Many people had come after long gap and usual gang was happy
to have them. Two new people Manoj and Ajay had come , we welcome them
and hope to see them often our meetings. Naman our moderator was very
well prepared.

We started with a simple yet unique approach of
public speaking:Walk into the middle , get comfortable , look into the
eyes of the audience and say your first name. We had to conncect with
audience for atleat 30 seconds before saying our name.
Second
excercise after this we had to tell our full name and about our native
using bouncing technique. After this used prolongation technique and
told about our work/education. Akash had some queries with respect to
the bouncing techniques which were addressed by Naman, Pramod and
others.
Thereafter we had extempore in random order as chosen by
Naman. This was again very good activity in which we applied the three
activities we did earlier. After this Manoj told us about his experience
in McGuire progamme.He told us about the Coastal breathing technique in
which person breathes from the diaphragm instead of abdomen.The idea
behind this technique is that we cannot stop abdomen from contracting
while speaking which induces stuttering , we instead breathe from our
diaphragm. Later we discussed about our collaboration with NIMHANS and
decided that we will go there and attend a few session before deciding
on future course of action.
