Communication Workshop in Pune

TISA Communication Workshop

Pune - December 6 - 8, 2013
Friends, here are the videos:

“1, 2, 3, BUM, 5, 6, 7, BUM, 9, 10, 11, BUM, 13, 1 BUM, 15…” 

The Fear Factor

The only difference in a Stammerer’s speech when alone and when in public is the Fear Factor ---------- which ultimately makes a big difference.

We are relaxed and at ease when alone and thus more fluent. The same speech becomes disfluent when speaking in front of a group. This fear is deeply ingrained in our mind, in the deep recesses of the sub conscious.

Bangalore SHG Dec 07, 2013 meeting report

Stammering is not "the" problem 

Hi All,
Here is report for Bangalore SHG meeting held on Dec 07, 2013 between 2PM to 5PM.

Attendees - Daring Dinesh, Powerful Pramod, Attractive Akash, Tejaswi Tapan ( New member ), Marvellous Manoj ( New member) and myself Adventurous Abhinav

Dinesh and I started meeting at sharp 2PM. We came around 1:45 PM to center and spent 15 mins on talking about Sri M, a living yogi (Dinesh and I have read his book "Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master") and we thought it will be good to discuss few points from his book while we were alone. Today two new members Tapan and Manoj joined TISA family so we spend initial 45 mins in clearing their doubts and questions regarding SHG meetings and our weekly activities.

What If..

When a client fails to benefit from a therapy, what happens then? Often the therapist and the client tend to blame each other. But there is another position: what if the "condition" has been totally misunderstood? And in the case of stammering, what if, stammering has many sub-types: one responding to fluency shaping techniques and others not?

SEEKING INSPIRATION

Hello Friends,

I am back to TISA in this very crucial time of my life. 

THE MAKE OR BREAK TIME

I have a major interview lined up in a month's time, Bank PO specifically, and I want to crack it this time at any cost.

The fear that I am and will confront till the day I face the interview panel is best known to all of you. I cannot explain it to anyone else or be better understood.

Therefore in this time of great delima, I seek your help.
I do not have a very severe stammer but yes under stress and anxiety I do face a very bad stammer.
Many of you have gone through such situations and have excelled in your endeavour, and today I stand here to SEEK INSPIRATION.

Please share your interview experiences here with me and the whole of TISA, for your story might save my day.

Dr.Martin's visit to India

Dear all,

Dr.Martin along with his wife are planning to visit India between last week of Dec’2013 and 3^rd week of Jan’2014. He has proposed to visit Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai . About Dr.Martin, he was basically a surgeon with New York University Medical Center in basic research on birth defects, particularly the problems of cleft lip and palate. He accidentally discovered the physical cause of stuttering, developed a treatment for it, and subsequently founded “The National Center for Stuttering”. He has also written a book called “Stutter No More”. To know more about him, pl visit http://www.stutter-no-more.com/

“...wanting change is step one, but step two is taking it.”

Special thanks to Akash, the photograpy prodigy :).

The Bangalore meet began at 10.00 AM in Cubbon Park.

Activities

 Part 1: Discussion We were split into 2 groups ,one group consisted of non-vegetarians and the other of vegetarians. We got the hint it was about our choice of food and all were ready to defend their choice. But alas here came the masterstroke by dinesh , he made non-vegetarians defend Vegetarianism and Vegetarians defend non-Vegetaranism. The faces ready to spring at any moment were sulky suddenly due to the change in the rules. Slowly the debate started and the fun was on it was really a pleasant experience to fill in someone else’s shoes and get their thought process. For people to venture into new perspective this became the most simplest practical exercise. The creative right hemisphere of our brains were activated and the discussion ended heatedly.

Part 2:What would you pursue if?????

Once the platform was set for creative thinking, next came our aspirations and goals which we wanted. Again the catch was that Money and women(spouse) were to be excluded. As soon as these 2 things were taken off the table the responses got by each one were truly inspiring from teachers to social workers , there were so many different avenues we are interested in once the 2 things are ignored.

Part 3:Can you!!!!!!!

The third activity revolved around giving on the spot acts for us to perform like selling a Mr.India watch, selling chappals for 4 K, playing the role of sadhus etc. Using the opportunity to get out of our comfort zone to check how quickly we can adapt to changing circumstances. Most of the times we lay back when something new -exciting is happening. This begs us to ask ourselves can we do this, what If I fail. But we should step back because of there worries. As they say you cant learn to swim by reading a book , take a dip in water and your hands will start to beat automatically. Get out there and experience for yourself the pleasure and pain of living.

This shg meeting was  the last in Bangalore for  Jitu who is moving to Orissa, on work permanently, It was a pleasure having known you friend. You will always be a part of Blrshg. Wishing you a success in all your future endeavors from all of us.

Regards

Nishil

विकलांगों को चाहिए आपका सहयोग . . . !

3 दिसम्बर: विश्व विकलांग दिवस

क्या नेत्रहीन युवती सुई में धागा डाल सकती है? क्या बोलने-सुनने में असमर्थ बच्चा गानों की धुन पर डांस कर सकता है? क्या मंदबुद्धि व्यक्ति अच्छा गाना गा सकता है? ये सभी असंभव से लगने वाले कार्य शीरीरिक और मानसिक रूप से चुनौतीपूर्ण लोगों के जीवन का हिस्सा बन चुके हैं। आमतौर पर विकलांगता से ग्रसित व्यक्तियों को दया या सहानुभूति की नजरों से देखा जाता है। हम में से कई लोग विकलांगजनों को समाज में अपनी भूमिका निभाने के योग्य नहीं समझते। वे अपनी बची हुई क्षमताओं का इस्तेमाल कर शिखर पर पहुंच सकते हैं, लेकिन हमारा नजरिया उनके प्रति सकारात्मक नहीं होता। हमारे आसपास ऐसे कई व्यक्ति हैं, जिन्होंने विकलांगता को अपनी राह में बाधा नहीं बनने दी और सफलता अर्जित की है।
