Zamit conducts an Interactive Workshop on ‘Perception & Communication of Nonverbal Cues’

 An interactive workshop was held on Zamit, a leading AI-enabled solutions provider for the education ecosystem, on ‘Perception & Communication of Nonverbal Cues’ for students between 11-18 years of age. The engaging session, focussed on refining nonverbal communication, provided practical tips one can adopt to navigate cultural perceptions and enhance effectiveness in social interactions.

 

The session was helmed by Dr. Smriti Ahuja, a leading trainer and communication expert whose core expertise lies in Human Resource Management, Business Studies, Organisation Behaviour, Principles of Management, Business Communication, Spoken and written English, and English Grammar and management subjects.

The session covered topics such as – unlocking dynamics of body posture, eye contact etiquettes, a factsheet on facial expressions and touched upon how to be mindful of cultural perception to identify barriers to social perception that need to be worked through.

 

It also discussed 'Proxemics' at length, which is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behavior, communication, and social interaction. It is one among several subcategories in the study of nonverbal communication, including haptics (touch), kinesics (body movement), vocalics (paralanguage), and chronemics (structure of time).

 

Dr. Smriti Ahuja, a communication expert and a soft skills trainer, shared, “In a world where communication spaces are being defined by Zoom school, virtual meetings, limited content verbalisation, text-led interpretation and crisp insta-reel content, the in-person communication skills have gone for a toss. Hence, much is left to be desired when it comes to interpersonal skills, which are needed to navigate real-life situations. Younger students need help with nonverbal cues such as facial, head, hand, or body movements, as well as auditory, tactile, or olfactory cues, which offer rich inputs to understanding one’s behaviour and attitude towards various facets of life.”

 

Abhijeet Mukherjee, CEO of Zamit, shared his thoughts on the significance and influence a session of this nature can exert on the development of young minds. He shared, “At Zamit, our commitment lies in fostering the all-encompassing growth of students and equipping them with AI-powered solutions to unlock their inherent capabilities. Becoming a better communicator is the most sought-after skill that needs to be honed to interpret your surroundings, in the academic, professional and social landscape, and help you express through gestures and pleasing overall personality attributes. The earlier these developing minds are empowered with such knowledge the better it is for them. Dr. Ahuja's valuable insights will help the participants greatly to decode real-life situations. With the aid of the practical tips shared in the session, these young adults can develop and enhance the non-verbal and perceptive skills that will facilitate their interaction immensely.”
