Skill of platform presentation!



As Anna and I listened to a five minutes presentation of students of their research findings, there was an unusual experience of observing different communication styles!

One style that was impressive was stating the observations in  a simple way with just enough details to substantiate the findings! The details did not crowd the presentation.

To state briefly is a gift in communication! Brevity makes conversations easier for listeners and would offer them a chance to participate. Some conversations become monologues and the listeners become absent mentally!

'Speak while listening' was a teaching-learning style Prof David Morely practised in his presentations during a course I attended. HIs presentations were sought after because he did not meander or seek attention to himself. But he pointed us to facts and information in a way that would capture our attention easily!

To be able to speak to arouse the interest of listeners is the mission in platform communication!
