Tips to improve your GD skills
- First things first. There are no quick tricks to improve your GD techniques or communication
skills. Improvement is a continuous process and continues forever. Where you will be five
years from now will depend on the books you read and the company you keep. Knowledge is
strength. A candidate with good reading habits has more chances of success than others.
- Effective communication and persuasive skills will certainly improve your performance in GD. It
is a good idea to attend some communication and personality development workshops.
- If you have a problem with your pronunciation or expression you need t work on it. With the
help of a good instructor it is possible to acquire clarity in speech and expression. It is an
area worth spending some time and effort on.
- It has been said earlier and can be repeated again and again and again…Learn to Listen.
Listening is one of the most neglected skill and every one can do wit working on it. Listening
attentively to others will improve your knowledge much more than if you are addicted to
listening to your own voice. How many new ideas will you come across if the only person who
gets to talk in your company is you?
- Choosing appropriate language to express your self is important. Use simple, straightforward
and direct language to express your opinion. A GD is a formal discussion and it is best to
avoid using slang. First of all all participants may not understand it. Secondly it will certainly
not be appreciated. Avoid using any language other than the on in which discussion is being
conducted. A GD is a formal event where slang avoided.
- A GD is not a place to get into an argument. It is a methodology devised to test certain
communication, interpersonal and leadership qualities and skills. Participants need to
express their point of view without acrimony and show of abrasive passion. Participants
certainly have the choice to agree, disagree or remain neutral.
- Non-verbal cues are even more reliable than the verbal communication. Make sure you
remain positive and optimistic during the session though positive attitude can’t be acquired
overnight. It is something you acquire overtime. You simply cannot fake it. You have to make
it. Listening intently, looking at the speaker, maintaining eye-contact, leaning a bit forward
are some non verbal clues that show that you care and value their opinion.
- Avoid talking to a single person in the group. Treating everyone equal is part of good
communication etiquette. Do not ignore anyone in the group. Everyone worth talking to is
worth looking at. Address the entire group in such a way that everyone feels you are
speaking to them.
