The Corporate Relations Committee at Pillai Institute of Management Studies and Research organizes a three day workshop on “Public Speaking” from MMS first year students every year in the Auditorium. The resource persons for this event were Mr. Santosh Thomas and Prof. Vikrant Gharat. Through this workshop they were able to enlighten the students about the importance of public speaking in personal and corporate life. Due to the pandemic in the year 2020 this workshop was conducted online for the students.
They informed students that public speaking requires excellent communication skills, enthusiasm and lots of confidence. In fact, it is believed that 70 percent of all jobs involve some form of public speaking. Public speaking can serve the purpose of transmitting information, telling a story, motivating people to act or encouraging people. This type of speech is deliberately structured with three general purposes: to inform, to persuade and to entertain. He encouraged students and said with thorough preparation and practice; we can overcome your nervousness and perform exceptionally well.
