Session 01: How to overcome the fear of public speaking by Dr. Sandip

Patil.

The two sessions of Dr. Sandip Patil were very much motivating & full of guidance

for the participants because he explained his journey from a coward public speaker to

free lance soft skills trainer. He revealed seven reason of being a coward public

speaker & also explained methods to overcome it. One of them is ‘kill the fear first’

which he experimented on each participant and Mr. Gondkar’s case found very

interesting to him because Mr. Gondkar knows four languages being a Mathematics

teacher and when he speaks English in public he has fear while other languages are

fearless to him. He said we have two options first FEAR = Face Everything And Rise

& second FEAR = Fear Everything And Run.

Session 02: How to speak fluent English without using boring grammar

by Dr. Sandip Patil

He said English a very easy language to learn, in fact, we have made it difficult. He

says that we can learn any new language at any stage of life. For that we must not

start with grammar but with LSRW = Listen, Speak, Read & Write. He remarks a

child learns its mother tongue by imitation only and not by the study of grammar. So

he advised to fallow this natural method learning any language.

This session was fully dedicated to public speaking activity. Faculty was informed to

talk at least for five minutes on the stage on any topic like best moment of their life,

turning point of their life, what makes them different from others & so on. After

performance of every participant, they were asked to share their experience of public

speaking. Few of them said even though same stage is there where they deliver

lectures to students this time they faced some problems. Then faculty of Professional

Communication explained the reasons of it to them and main reason is they felt fear

& they are not used to public speaking activity.

centre of all these activities. He introduced various discourses & informed

provide better learning. Actually, it was very nice session & thought us a

lot.
