The Essentials of Communication in Leadership workshop, organized jointly by the Centre of Transformational Leadership and the Office of Alumni Affairs on March 22, 2024, was a significant event aimed at enhancing students’ communication skills and emotional intelligence. Led by KCG alumna Ms. Renugha Devi R, the workshop engaged first-year members of CTL in a series of interactive activities designed to promote effective expression and emotional acknowledgment. Participants were grouped into circles to plot their current state of mind and energy, followed by discussions on using precise vocabulary for articulating thoughts and emotions. Ms. Renugha Devi R’s insights into the functions of the right and left brain added depth to the session, highlighting the importance of balanced communication.
The workshop’s success was evident in the participants’ reflections, where they expressed gratitude for the practical knowledge gained and emphasized the relevance of clear communication in leadership roles. Moving forward, it is recommended to host similar workshops periodically to continue nurturing students’ communication capabilities and fostering a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence within the leadership context.
