Have you ever tried to say one thing but your listener understood something totally different? Have you ever failed to convince someone about a really great idea that you are passionate about? Does the thought of speaking to an audience, no matter how small, make you uncomfortable? If you answered yes to any of these questions, our upcoming session is for you!
Samridhi Bhardwaj, a New York Times corporate alumna and an entrepreneur from New Delhi, India will be conducting a session on the basics of good verbal communication. While underlining the importance of impactful speaking, she will burst myths around verbal communication. The 60-minute session will leave you important 'nuggets' that will stay with you to serve your public speaking experiences for the rest of your lives.
Samridhi worked with master trainer, Prof. Mihir Mankad, on his award-winning course called Arts of Communication (AOC) at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, MA. AOC has been the highest enrolled optional elective for the past 5 years at Fletcher, with the highest number of cross-registrants (70+ from Harvard) of any course at Fletcher.
