Communication Module - Week 2

8 March 2010 – Effective Meeting

Trainer: Mdm Suzelina and Mdm Iris D’ cruz

In general, in order to run effective meetings we need to establish goals for the meeting, set realistic agendas and works with other on meeting etiquette. The trainers have given me many useful examples about good and bad meetings. Bad meetings drone on forever, as you never seem to get to the point, and you leave wondering why you were even present. Effective ones leave you energized and feeling that you've really accomplished something. Therefore, if you structure your meeting planning, preparation, execution, the result will be an effective meeting!! Interesting right?

I've certainly experienced "butterflies" about being on stage or speak in front of public. However, Mr Farizal gave me many beneficial tips and techniques how to speak in front of the public because if we want to be leaders or achieve anything meaningful in our lives, we will often need to speak to groups, large and small, to be successful.

12 March 2010 – Entrepreneurship

Trainer: Professor Patricia Greene

Believe it or not, today was a very special day because we had a guess speaker (Prof. Greene) from Babson College, Massachusetts. Her lecture on entrepreneurship was well organized and interesting. According to Prof. Grenne, an entrepreneur is someone who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise while entrepreneurship is the process of discovering new ways of combining resources. A successful entrepreneur is the one who expand the size of economic pie for everyone.
