Yesterday was perhaps the best day of my life. My communication teacher at collage tasked us with debating on a topic which we can choose. Of course me and my partner didn't prepare anything until the last 2 hours... I believed if I rehearse of give a scripted debate, it would be better if I had invested the time I would've spent learning somewhere else. We prepare some script until the debate starts... & I encountered an awkward state... I asked audience how many of them believe in xyz and asked them to raise their hands if they do so... None of them did... I looked at their eyes and I could see the disgust that they had - either they couldn't hear me properly or were just too tired of the last class at 17:00.. Either way, none of them did & it was awkward but surprisingly I didn't feel ashamed which is very weird (but also good), I remained calm and just thanked my teacher who scolded them that they do not have any opinion and that he agreed to what I asked. I carried out my speech and it was actual unprompted debate time and yeah it was an easy win because HE didn't prepare as such but I feel great. In my eyes, I believe I delivered the best speech because during others, I noticed almost a majority of them were on their phones or sleeping as others "debated" while reading it all off scripts, I did unprompted... I am proud that although I am not a good speaker yet and there is a lot of room for improvement, at least I am the one the people in my class cannot not listen. This gave me confidence that maybe what I really lack in sales is product clarity which results in fear of my prospects going off the script which in turn freezes me. I will begin the cold call soon (Tomorrow)

Hi everyone, This message is being shared on behalf of Shreyas Sahay. He is currently down with a severe eye infection and has been advised bed rest for the next few days. All meetings and calls will therefore be rescheduled to next week. Shreyas will be conducting extra sessions, kindly accommodate the same in your schedule. Thank you for understanding.

Hey Shreyas & everyone! I'm Gauransh Dixit, a 3rd year product design student. Alongside college, I'm building a side hustle around high-converting landing page templates, which I plan to sell through content and cold outreach. I'm here to improve my communication, articulation (even i wrote this intro by myself, but not confident that if my grammar is right, not repeating the same point, over explaining stuff, i got this checked by chatgpt, that usually happens every time I want to avoid this), enunciation, and overall personality. I sometimes fumble while speaking, struggle to put my thoughts into words, over-explain or repeat stuff, and rely too much on fillers like "uh" and "um". I also want to work on my body language and social skills. I'm comfortable being assertive and setting boundaries, but I've realised I can sometimes come across as dominating or unapproachable. I want to strike a balance between confidence, warmth, and approachability, communicate with conviction, and build better connections with people. Looking forward to learning and growing with everyone!
