2) Was the meetings experience challenging? Please share your thoughts.
3) From the experience, what can you and your team do better for future business meetings?
4) How do you feel the skills and techniques you have learnt will be useful for you in your future workplace?]]> 2021-03-23 09:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/1341904232 wenhui https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236318824 1) teamwork between each other
2) it was initially challenging as we were new to it and not sure what to do
3) we can do better by having the chairman would take part of the conversation to make the whole experience smoother
4) it will make it easier in if there will be future meetings with other different companies]]> 2022-07-04 08:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236318824 Edwin https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236391826 1) The building on of ideas/views.
2) For me, its not the communicating part that's difficult, it's more of the scenario and the role I took up. Basically what I mean is that the scope was kinda narrow which kinda limits what I can talk about.
3) We can try to be less bias by that I mean we should try and disagree with our views.
4) I feel that it can help me and future colleagues and superiors use the meeting time more efficiently.]]> 2022-07-04 10:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236391826 Ian https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236451807 1) I learnt that we needed to learn how to smoothly transition 
2) Yes the meeting was challenging as it was hard to find out when another person was finish talking. It was also hard to have smooth transitions from one topic to another
3) Our team could have maybe add more disagreements into our meeting where somebody from another department has a conflict of interest with another department
4)The skills i have learnt would be very useful for the future as i would learn how to naturally set up a meeting and participate in meetings]]> 2022-07-04 12:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236451807 Jolene s10243648 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236452189 1. Some of the key communication skills i had observed is active lisening and problem solving. I also feel that being attentive is important to grasp the details of the meeting. 

2.One of the challenge is that the meeting might not be effective or efficient as ideas or soloutions might not be well coveyed. Another challenge is that some of them might be unprepared and not able to fully provide answers to the question 

3. What can be improved is by focusing more on your role during the planning process to speed up efficiency of the meeting 

4. I feel that it would be useful in helping me to be prepared for a meeting and know what to expect.

2) I think it is quite challenging as most of us are used to the  presentation style. We tried to keep the meeting as smooth as possible without making it look like a presentation. 
3) From this experience, I think my team and I   can try to be more attentive and be more comfortable to address each other by name. 
4) I think that in future, I will know what is expected from a meeting and understand the main objective of having a meeting. ]]> 2022-07-04 13:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236471336 Derrick https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236481969 1. I learnt that there needs to be active listening from all members and a fair amount of dialogue from all members.
2. It was challenging as my group was unsure of how the whole process should pan out. After understanding what was required, i think that we would be able to improve on our mistakes in future.
3. We should not be too rigid when it comes to speaking as it is a conversation and not a presentation. 
4. I would be able to make use of the time spent in meetings if everyone is clear on the flow of the meeting.

2) It was a bit challenging as it felt really rushed as there was not enough time to plan thoroughly
3) I need to improve by being more focus and ensure I talk at the right time during the meeting. Also, I need to elaborate my points more and try not to stutter so much
4) I feel that the limited time we were given would be useful in the future as in a real meeting there won't be dry runs and won't be given ample time to plan the entire meeting. Therefore, from this experience, it can possibly help me work better under time constraints

]]> 2022-07-04 14:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236510355 hanis https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236574491 ) i observed that practicing active listening is essential when having the meeting
2) yes, it was challenging because we have never experienced meetings in this setting. we only are familiar with presentations and tend to treat the meeting as a presentation.
3) my team could learn how to transition more smoothly while having the meeting instead of bringing up a new point without linking back to the previous point.
4) the skills and techniques would be useful in helping me be more prepared if meetings do happen in my workplace. it will also ensure a more effective meeting
]]> 2022-07-04 15:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236574491 Tam Chi Yao https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236649927 1) I felt that verbal communication is important as during the practice, as for the whole meeting to flow smoothly there would have to be form of verbal communication making sure that everyone gets to clarify if their work is not flowing well

2) Yes it was challenging as afterall it was my first time doing this and having to plan in such a small time it was stressful yet insightful 

3) We could've made sure everyone knows their time to talk as we were pointing here and there saying its my turn its your turn

4) It will be important in the workforce next time as communication is the key to understand a person's ideas, resolve problems. ]]> 2022-07-04 18:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2236649927 kat https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237024212 i learnt how to present my stand and my views to others and i learnt how to collaborate with the other "co-workers"

it was challenging because it felt awkward to be having a meeting while everyone else is watching 

we should try to talk more naturally like a conversation rather than a presentation 

it will be useful for the future meetings as i get to experience attending the meeting experience early ]]> 2022-07-05 06:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237024212 Calista https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237153315 Some key communication skills i observed was the need to listen attentively to the other party. The meeting experience was a little tough as we had a short period of time to prepare, however the meeting ran pretty smoothly for the amount of time given to prepare. What we could do better is to close off the meeting with a summary and have smoother transitions when moving on to another topic. I feel that the skills learnt will be helpful in my workplace in the future as effective communication is vital to ensure things run smoothly in the workplace.]]> 2022-07-05 09:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237153315 Dhaniyah https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237218131 I realised that active listening is important to communicate well with my peers. Not only that, it is vital that we know our roles well so that we can contribute appropriate ideas.

We find it hard to brainstorm the ideas relating to each of our roles. We were all trying to help each other to figure out what to say. Had doubts whether the points are related to our roles

We can have a smoother transition from one speaker to another or from one idea to another. We have to make use our time to give relevant insights to the problem and to be sure of our own roles and teammates’ roles.

It is important because I will have to show this skill in the future. It is important to take note on how to make the meeting productive and effective ]]> 2022-07-05 11:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237218131 Dave https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237373435 1. I feel that the coordination of the team is good, we listen to each other and we each take turns to talk. Despite that, we are not afraid to raise up our points in a civil fashion as we are focused on improving whatever we are discussing on and not so focused on who is contributing better points or worse points.
2. The flow of the team meetings are quite good as well, we clearly know when each person should step up and talk and there are no disputes as to how the meeting is conducted. Thus, the objectives and agendas of the group meetings will usually be hit.
3. However, the team members could be less reliant on the chairperson to conduct the discussion. The chairperson will be seen as dominating and the members will only speak up when called.]]> 2022-07-05 16:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237373435 Javier Grp3 s10247353 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237940626 1) One of the key communication skills my group has was able to be clear and conscience while they were speaking. There was a good flow and everyone was listening well. It was clear that during the meeting, the various head of departments were taking notes as each of them presented the solution. 
2) The meeting was not challenging as everyone had a clear idea of what to present and how to present it. Each of my team members executed it well and no one hesitated. It was natural and suggestions to tackle the agendas benefited us greatly.
3) 1. Is there anything else we need to discuss other than the agenda that we need to talk about?
2. Agendas should be clearly conveyed, List the agenda we should go by. Ex, 
3. Go by agenda instead of department. So that the point would be covered. (This prevents overlap which allows easier summery)
4. Summerise the agenda one at a time before moving on to the next topic 
5. At the end, re summerise to ensure everything is clear and everyone knows what to do
4) Having been in such an environment, people will enjoy shorter meetings and more productive ones too. There are times when meetings are long and unproductive which ends up being a big waste of time. Being able to systematically clear agendas allows issues to be tackled and not miss one out. There will also be unnecessary chatter during meetings that avoid confusion]]> 2022-07-06 08:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2237940626 marisa https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238269029 1) it is good to disagree with some opinions being contributed. more acknowledgement of every department heads’ contribution. not to conduct our meeting and propose our suggestions just like how we present for presentations. be clear on the objective and agenda, actively listen to one another
2) it was difficult as my group could not decide on what roles we should take on, how many agenda we should have and the possible suggestions as well all under 15mins. it was kinda pressuring due to the time limit. this cause is to not have a strong and clear agenda and the solutions brought up was not really said in detail
3) i think we should focus more on how we conduct the meeting as we should not be too overly friendly and comfortable and should not be too professional in a way. the content should have a clear message on what we are doing to resolve the issue or be innovative. 
4) i think it would really benefit me in the future as I would rather go for meetings that are productive and engaging. Moreover i would prefer if everything is in order and organised neatly beforehand (the agenda) so it would not be confusing later on which may cause a lot of frustrations ]]> 2022-07-06 17:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238269029 Gideon Grp 3 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238287731 1) The flow of speech is well paced, each of us in the group had a chance to speak uninterrupted. According to our teacher's feedback, what each of us said is very clear and concise.
2) The meeting experience role play was not very challenging for me as I had similar experiences before, so this is just like any other meeting but a simulated version.
3) I believe that my group could have been more prepared if we had a little more time to set the agendas and what to talk about. According to our teacher's feedback, we should have each spoke agenda to agenda, not department to department because it can be difficult for the chairperson to summarize and segregate what each of us said during each of our speak time.
4) This skill will definitely be useful as it not only increases the efficiency of the meeting's objective, it also helps us critically think about what we want to get out of the meeting when creating the list of agendas.]]> 2022-07-06 18:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238287731 Bharath https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238572975 1) the communication I got to know is that you must have eye contact when someone is talking. ]]> 2022-07-07 02:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238572975 gareth https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238613701 1) I think during the discussions if we have an idea, we should just say it out rather than not saying, thinking that it is not feasible as we would be able to get more viewpoints from different perspective and try to make the idea work if possible
2) Yes, it was quite challenging as we were only given 15 minutes to plan and it was only the first time doing such fast planning so we was very confused on what we should do and how the flow of our meeting was going to be.
3) I feel since we have gone through the trial,  we have a better idea on how we can start choosing our roles and work on them faster so as to save more time and also making the meeting go smoother with not much stoppage in between the speakers by assigning where we should chip in our ideas during the meetings.
4) it would definitely help as I would already have experience in this area and thus try to input more ideas of my own instead of keeping quiet and being able to catch up on what others are saying quickly so that i would not be so confused]]> 2022-07-07 03:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238613701 Kalvin https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238769519 1) That there was a smooth flow of delivery and transition from one to another. Ideas were often filled with content and well detailed. 
2) No, it was alright. However this taught us what we should take note of and pay attention.
3) Properly prepare the agenda and to also properly distribute the questions to the relevant members
4) This would allow us to properly take notes and to pay closer attention to required details. It also sorts of give us a professional experience. ]]> 2022-07-07 07:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238769519 Zhi Yang https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238771642

  • Prepare a more detailed agenda of the meeting
  • Will be able to pay attention to every details of the meeting.

    2. Yes because there wasn’t  enough time for me to be sufficiently prepared and my ideas were not valid as it would be impossible for the school to implement. 
    3. We should listen closely to what the other team members say so that we will know how to make the whole meeting smooth.
    4. It can train my on the spot thinking.]]>     2022-07-07 08:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238797688     Vernon https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238798774 1) taking turns to speak
    2) it was challenging to plan out an agenda so that the meeting could be effective and lead to valuable discussions
    3) We can listen out more because there was some gaps in our meeting. So we we should address / point out any issues with solutions raised
    4) i feel that it will be useful in the sense where the experience is applicable and so in a real meeting in the future it would be less intimidating  ]]>     2022-07-07 08:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238798774     Nigel https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238798848
    the challenges ive faced is not being able to rebutt or when your mind goes blank suddenly.
    I think what we can do as a team is to be prepared for whats coming and be confident about it
    I find it very interesting that we are able to experience and learn what its like to be in the meeting.

    3. we could create more tension through disagreements and be more spontaneous.

    4. these skills would be useful as these are essential soft skills that could be applied anywhere. for instance, active listening could be demonstrated in class, during group projects, at work or even at home. communication skills are also critical as it ensures that one's message is brought across clearly. ]]>     2022-07-07 08:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238800644     Darren https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238801054 1) Some of the key communication technique I noticed is to ask question and interact/comment on the possible flaws or the area of improvement. Plus to show respect and allow the speaker to speak and act as the bridge between different managers

    2) The first meeting is definitely nerve-wrecking as we would have to coordinate with each other during the meeting.

    3) To improve team coordination and interactions

    4) Improvement of my soft skills and confidence.

    2) It was a little challenging as I had to stay in my role and think about solutions and ideas as the role which I have no prior experience as. I also had to remain professional throughout the meeting which was difficult as I felt like laughing at times when I found my groupmates' ideas to be undoable due to some reasons ( not that their ideas were bad)
    3) We can try to be lees awkward around each other as during the meetings there were many awkward/tense moments where no one was speaking and we were just eying each other nervously.
    4) Having the skills and technique to conduct a proper meeting is useful as in the future when meetings occur I will know how to conduct myself properly and not let the meeting time be a waste.]]>     2022-07-07 08:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238802458     Leon https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238806928 1. One skill in particular that I found that was important was being able to generate ideas on the spot not only when learning of the scenario you have but also when you have to add on towards your peers ideas. 
    2. I found it challenging as the role you take up is based on a RNG. Meaning that you have to be able to properly generate the correct ideas depending on the situation. 
    3.  The whole meeting could have been better if the chairperson would contribute more towards the meeting in terms of ideas. 
    4. Being able to generate ideas on the spot would be a extremely important skill for us in the future as it helps us to adapt to any business situation in the future. ]]>     2022-07-07 08:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238806928     Crystal https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2238807820 1. Making eye contact with team members and having listening skills
    2. The meeting was challenging as there was little time to prepare for it. There was also a need to improvise many times.

    2) it was challenging as I had never attended a meeting before so I felt abit nervouse and could not communicate what I needed to say to others properly

    3) I can try to think of better ideas and communicate more with my team so that the meeting would be more productive. I can also try to be more outspoken so that I would be able to get my ideas across and help my teammates too.

    4) I feel that being able to think on the spot would help greatly in my future workplace as I would be able to contribute more to the meeting and being more outspoken would be able to improve on the ideas.

    2)The meeting challenge was definitely a challenging one since everyone was new to this.Many of my group mates were stressed and unsure of what to do before the meeting .We have to overcome the fear of having a ‘business meeting’ in front of all our classmates.Additionally,there were also many awkward silence in the meeting which was something that we found really challenging too.
    3)Because it was our first time conducting a business meeting,we struggled with planning out the agenda of the meeting after receiving our scenario,in the future I will definitely try to come out with better agendas for the meeting to ensure a smoother flow of the meeting and to ensure that more important points were being addresses.In the future,I also hope to be able to phrase my words better and clearer when presenting my ideas.
    4)The skills and techniques are definitely useful in  future workplace as I get to have a feel of how it will be like in a real meeting in the future and can also identify my goal when attending a meeting.I will feel less lost when attending meetings in the future.

    2) it was time consuming when we were splitting up the roles for each person, and it was challenging to have to come up with enough content under a very limited time constraint.

    2)  It was hard to think from the point of view of the certain role, it means that our views and points must have some/a few ties to our roles. For example, if I am a Finance Manager, I would need to say a few points that would pertain to Finance. It was also terribly hard to come out with ideas on the spot based off how the meeting was heading to.

    3) I think we can remove the awkwardness between our group meetings. It would allow more conducive chatter in the meeting which would be more insightful as we can hear from more point of views.

    4) Having the skills and knowledge on how to conduct a effective meeting is very useful.

    2) The challenging part of the meeting was discussing what roles each of us should take up, what the agenda of the meeting was and what I should talk about as I was not very sure on what a finance manager should do.

We could have done this by preparing our points in greater depth to find a suitable solution for the problem we are trying to solve.

    It was challenging because as the chairperson I had to think of how to bring in every member into the discussion and delegate task properly. 

    We can try to contribute more to each other’s propositions by giving suggestions, improvements and critiques. 

    Communication and active listening is definitely essential to have for work in the future to ensure everyone is on the same page and so that people can work well together.

Give constructive feedback instead of criticism as well as directing specific questions to relavant roles

    2. Somewhat, because we were quite confused at the start on what to do and how should we conduct the meeting but after we are aware of our own roles and responsibilities, everything went smoothly with great thanks to the chairperson going throught the objectives point by point, allowing everyone to chip in at the right time.

    3. In the future, me and my team could perhaps try to voice out more confidently and cut down on our filler words. We can also help one another when we realise a member isn't chipping in enough ideas by prompting them as they might not have the chance to talk at the right time. I also feel that we can ask about everyone's opinion to make sure everyone is on track and if they have any other ideas.

I have learnt to always elaborate my points and confirm essential details during the meeting. Also to not be too direct with my replies, always remember to not put down anyone.
    2. It was challenging because of the time given and also it was the first time having this meeting. Trying to come out with ideas and details to support it was hard as we only had 15 minutes to prepare them.
    3. We could come more prepared, stick to the agenda list. Also to ask questions according to our suggestions and confirm our ideas before the meeting ends.
    4. These techniques would allow future meetings to be more efficient and valuable. It would also prevent us from saying words that are too mean that would affect our relationship with our colleagues.]]>     2022-07-08 08:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2239645440     Zack https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2239675605 1) One of the key communication techniques that I observed from this experience was to finalise points when they have ceased to be discussed, instead of at the end of the whole meeting.
    2) The meeting experience was challenging as it is hard to get team members to speak up. On top of that, it is sometimes hard for me to speak up as well; confidence is an issue for many, myself included.
    3) My team and I can learn to be more spontaneous in bringing up discussion topics. I understand that confidence is an issue for many of us, but we must move past that and voice our ideas out.
    4) The skills learnt will be useful as I will know how to properly conduct a discussion within the setting of a business meeting.

  • Some of the key communication skills I observed were respect and clarity. It is important to respect others’ viewpoints. We should also pay attention to our body language and simple actions like making eye contact and actively listening when a person is speaking. This will make the person feel appreciated and respected. Also, communicating our message clearly and directly will help others grasp our point more effectively. 
  • The meeting experience was a challenging one as we were only given 15-minutes of preparation time to analyze the scenario. Since it was the majority of our first meeting experience, we were not sure how each of our individual roles should respond to the circumstances. 
  • From this experience, my team can do better in terms of the flow of our meeting, as I felt our meeting was not neatly organized. 
  • Developing good communication skills will be extremely useful for me in my future workplace, as communication skills are useful in many situations apart from meetings. It is essential to adapt these skills so as to better communicate with colleagues and conduct effective meetings.

In addition, i feel that I must ensure that i dont stutter too much qs it might disrupt conveying my idea clearly to others and i must talk in a stable and clear voice to avoid miscommunication.
    2)It was challenging as we were building up ideas and thinling of better alternatives for each portion of the issue that concerns our expertise. However, we were able to coordinate the flow of ideas as well as meaningful discussion regarding the proposes idea, making it more natural.
    3)I believe that as a whole we could have given more info on our idea but i believe during the assessment ample time will be given for us to prepare.
    4)This will help me to be more confident when presenting my ideas during a meeting in the future, and allow me to structure and plan my speech better.]]>     2022-07-08 17:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2239882510     michelle https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2240025751 1) one key techniques that i have learnt is to have healthy disagreements. the correct way to express while not hurting the feeling of the speaker. we can use words like ‘ thankyou for your idea, why don’t we consider from the other perspective, etc’
    2) i believe this meeting was quite challenging because we are all first timers and did not have any similar experience 
    3) i think in the future, our team can voice our more and have healthy disagreements so that we can come out with the best solution 
    4) this meeting will be extremely helpful next time when we enter the work force as we will be held in a meeting like this. hence i will be able to apply all that i have learnt example when i realise that one person is not contributing i can prompt the person by stating our current topic discussed and ask the person for his opinions]]>     2022-07-09 02:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2240025751     Wen Yi https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2240319173 1) 1 key communication technique that i have observed from this experience was active listening. in a meeting, there will be a lot of new information since people are sharing their ideas. hence, active listening is important so as we know what is going on and is able to respond and reflect on what's being said.
    2) the meeting experience was definitely challenging. i was given the chairperson role and so i had to be the one leading the meeting. i wasn't able to contribute my ideas much as i wasn't sure when was the appropriate time for me to share.
    3) since it was the first time i had a meeting as the chairperson role, i struggled with the planning of agenda. i think i can share more ideas and be more clear when i speak, since i kept stumbling on my words in the previous meeting.
    4) i think the skills and techniques that i have learnt will definitely be useful for me in my future workplace as it give me a sense of how a real meeting is like, so that i have a better understanding of how a meeting works and therefore will not struggle in it in my future workplace.]]>     2022-07-10 03:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2240319173     chloe https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241033965 it is good to be attentive and maintain eye contact to the person we are conversing with. 

    the meeting experience was not as challenging as we had time to plan on what we want to say. 

    we can be more fluent and improve on our flow instead of having awkward pausing and looking at one another. 

    the skills learnt will help me in the future as i believe it will make me a more confident speaker in a meeting setting. ]]>     2022-07-11 13:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241033965     Ashlee Elaine https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241036873 1. I think during the meeting, some key communication skills I observed was that eye contact and listening to others speak before speaking and affirming one anothers ideas is important. 

    2. It was challenging. As the chairperson, I had to improvise a lot of my lines as there wasn't much I could prepare beforehand. At the end of the meeting, I had to improvise the conclusion to end the meeting which was a challenge.  

    3. For future meetings, I think we can be livelier instead of having a very 'dead energy'. 

    4. I think the skills we learnt can be applied during future meetings in my future workplace and it also teaches us to be an active listener. ]]>     2022-07-11 13:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241036873     sarah https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241067173
    1. everyone was giving the speakers respect by listening to their points. there was also no mumbling and everything was very clear
    2. although we took a short time to prepare everything, the whole experience actually felt quite realistic (like an actual meeting)
    3. prepare what to say in advance so that we can have the maximum amount of eye contact instead of staring at the scripts
    4. it will allow me to improve my oratory skills as well as learn how to respect the other people around me during a meeting

    It is good to carefully listen to all your group members so that you can on the ideas proposed.

    Being in this setting for the first time was definitely challenging. However, I believe that with more practise, my group will be able to do well. 

    My teammates and I should be more confident when voicing out our ideas instead of being intimidated by the silence. 

    This experience has taught what to do and what not to do when preparing for a meeting. With the skills learnt I am able to save a lot more time during my preparation for a meeting.

Eye contact is also required to demonstrate respect. 

    It was difficult for me because this was my first business meeting, and I also struggled to come up with a creative marketing strategy as a marketing manager within such short time. 

    More time for preparation would definitely help a lot, as it would allow us to think of more points and prepare well, rather than staring at the screen the entire time and could have more interaction with teammates during the meeting.

     The skills we learned are extremely important as they will allow us to be a more active listener and confident person in the future workplace.]]>     2022-07-11 15:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241118424     callista https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241508685 1) eye-contact and having a good flow in the conversation is important. try to understand each other’s perspective.
    2) not too challenging, however is a bit rushed and may seem scripted because of the planning ?
    3) put in some time for research to support our statements, have a more engaging flow and maybe just brainstorm more during the meeting itself. ideas may come naturally if not under stress or time constraint.
    4) learn how to present myself in professional settings & see from different department’s perspective. ]]>     2022-07-12 03:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241508685     tricia grp 1 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241842220 1.  From this experience, some of the skills that I observed was that my team was generally able to put our ideas and points across during the meeting. We also gave everyone a chance to speak so we could listen to each other’s ideas and subsequently build on it. 

    2.  The meeting experience was slightly challenging for me. Even though we were given preparation time before the actual meeting occurred, I felt that it was slightly insufficient for me to prepare for the actual meeting. Thus when the meeting started, I felt that I was able the share my ideas, but I was not capable of elaborating the idea.  

    3. I feel that my team would be able to do better in the way we set our agendas and share our ideas. We could also manage the preparation time better so that during the actual meeting we would be able to perform better. 

    4. I feel that the skills and techniques would be useful as it will prepare me for an actual meeting at my future workplace. It will provide me with the skills to allow for a meeting to go smoothly. This will ensure that the meeting will not waste the participant’s time and energy and at the end of the meeting, the end goal would be completed.

    2) It was challenging to come out with what to say during the meeting with the short time limit of 15 minutes. It was also difficult for me to speak more as I am unsure of when to cut in to add on to what other people say.

    3) Maybe to allocate the roles faster and go  through a quick flow of the meeting before starting the actual one officially

    4) The skills and technique i have learnt will be useful in my future workplace as meetings are essential to almost every workplace. Hence the skills i learnt will come in handy especially when i am required to share my views in a meeting, listen and take note of things the others say.]]>     2022-07-12 14:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241909418     Marcus Chua https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241920906 1) One of the critical communication skills I observed from this experience was Active Listening. My group was giving regular eye contact back to the person speaking and showing nonverbal active listening by nodding their heads when a board member is speaking to acknowledge that they heard and understood what the speaker said. Nobody interrupted anyone and waited for someone to finish speaking before interjecting.

    2) The meeting experience was not challenging as my groupmate discussed beforehand the order and content we would say during the meeting. Everyone did well so there were no issues during the meeting.

    3) What my team can do better in future meetings is mixing things up as during the meeting, it felt very stiff and robotic. It should feel more of an open conversation to reduce the tension and awkwardness. While keeping to an agenda is crucial, I feel that we should introduce something new during the meeting to keep everyone interested and engaged. Also, even though my group made the necessary preparations before, it still felt a bit messy and there was no clear structure in relation to the agenda. It would be better to go according and make references to the topic we are tackling before we begin discussions.

    4) The skills and techniques I learned will most definitely be very useful to me in my future workplace. Not only in a meeting sense but these skills can be used in any social situation. Effective communication skills are crucial in the workplace as developing good relationships with your coworkers and being able to efficiently communicate with others will increase creativity, productivity, and the ideas you come up with. ]]>     2022-07-12 14:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241920906     ningyi grp 1 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2241953957 1.our team allowed others to speak from their point of view and was able to compromise on a solution that was favourable to all.

    2.kind of, there were times when we did not know what to say and some of the members kept repeating what was already said so it felt like we were just going around in circles

    3.we can plan out our thoughts before the meeting and know what are our roles better

    4.i would be able to prepare for meetings that are productive and not just a talking session that goes round and round without ending on a solution.

I learn that it is important to speak in a confident manner to show that the speaker is well prep and interested in the meeting. When delivering my opinion on the matter, I should be able to share my thoughts confidently and refrain from stuttering. It is also important to pay attention to my body language during the meeting and ensure that I do not seem pre-occupied or uninterested.

    2) The meeting experience was slightly challenging as my group was the first to start the meeting. With no prior examples to learn from, it was difficult for us to conduct an effective meeting especially when the entire class is watching. In addition, the preparation time was only 15 minutes long hence it was tough to come up with ideas and content on what to say which I believe is the main reason why my group struggled. 

    3) My team and I can learn to be more vocal during the meeting especially when the chairperson was prompting us to come up with ideas on how to tackle the issue. Since it was our first time experiencing this meeting scenario, many of us were stressed and this led to us blanking out, this made the meeting awkward and difficult to conduct. I also learn that we should be more prepared on what to say so the overall flow of the meeting will be smooth. 

    4) I feel that the skills and techniques learnt will definitely be beneficial for me in my future workplace. After undergoing this meeting experience, I now have a better idea on how to conduct an effective meeting. Aside from knowing how to lead a meeting, I also gained knowledge on how I should act when attending one, this include body language, facial expression and tone when delivering my message/opinion.

    2) the meeting experience was quite challenging in my opinion as the topic we are going to handle is given to us on the spot and we are missed out the planning of content.

I also observed how I could include the quieter participants.

    2) Yes it was challenging. I could not think on the spot thus I didn't have many ideas to contribute. I was also unsure how to lead and moderate the discussion.

    3) I can try to contribute more ideas. I can practise on summing up the ideas/discussion. We can try to elaborate more on our ideas.

    4) Disagreements ought to happen in a meeting, thus learning how to do it professionally is useful. I think including the quieter participants is also a useful skill to make the best out of a meeting.]]>     2022-07-13 00:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2242171464     Gideon https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2242609142 1) Key things that my group learnt was eye contact and learning to not be afraid of disagreements.
    2) Some of the struggles that my group faced during the meeting was that I did not give people enough time to answer as the chairperson and quickly moved on to the next agenda.
    3) Some things that we will change in the future is to set a clearer agenda so as to let everyone know what they are responsible of and so they can answer them and not let the meetint get carried away.
    4) These learning experiences will be good for me in the future as I can set good impressions of being knowledgable and professional. ]]>     2022-07-13 12:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2242609142     dorothy https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243403802 1. I observed that communication skills such as maintaining eye contact and body language were important. Being a good listener is also crucial in this setting.
    2. Yes, it was challenging because we had to think on our feet. I felt that our planning was a bit rushed because of the time constraint so some of our points may not have been brought across well. Taking on the role of chairperson was also challenging as I had to facilitate the meeting and improvise along the way.
    3. Moving forward my team and I should make full use of the preparation time to develop our points and note them down in simple yet understandable points so that we won't be reading off our screens the whole time.
    4. These skills will be useful in the future when I attend meetings as they'll help me present myself better and participate actively.]]>     2022-07-14 12:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243403802     Chris https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243530618 1: I observed that the eye contact, body language and the way an individual speaks is very important to keep the attention of others by being more captivating so that others will be interested to what you have to say and not feel so sick of listening to you.

    2: I feel that it was not very challenging but still a little challenging as we may know each other in our group but some of us may not be so close to each other which would make it more awkward but overall I feel that it was a new kind of experience to have with them.

    3: I think that we could read up a few days earlier to get a brief of what will be covered and that prepare a few points to the topic so that we can also get the cooperation of the other departments during the meeting itself so that we can understand each other's departments better.

    4: The skills can definitely be used in future meetings if have as this helps us to have to work with people we know but not close to. Additionally, this also helps us build confidence in talking to people we may not be so close to as we may have something we need from their side and we may be too shy to ask so having this would help us to be less shy in the future.]]>     2022-07-14 16:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243530618     https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243531489 1) I learnt that our body language such as eye contact or shaking of legs can give off many different meanings and can easily affect our image.

    2) I feel that time management is really important and that each member has to play their part well in order to ensure that the group has covered all areas before the actual discussion begins.

    3) The chairperson seems to have a much heavier responsibility. As the chairperson, he/she has to be well-versed in all aspects of the discussion and is the key is ensuring that the discussion flows well.

    4) I feel that adding on to each other’s points is crucial too even though it was not done in our previous trials since it allows us to view the situation from a bigger perspective and ensure that we do not miss out on anything. ]]>     2022-07-14 16:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2243531489     Ashley https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2245400172 1. I learned that even when you are not talking during the meeting, one should practice active listening and continue to listen to the meeting even though the content may not be specific to your department. This is a basic form of respect and courtesy to those in the meeting.
    2. The meetings experience was a little challenging at first as I was unsure of how to carry it out with my role and agenda as a PR Manager. After a few minutes in the meeting and researching what a PR manager role is, I understood it further and was able to play my role more effectively in the practice.

Generally, only constructive opinions should be voiced to keep the meeting efficient and objective.
    Maintain attention through eye contact or/and body language.
    2) The meeting experience was a little challenging as the order of topics and speakers wasn't well managed overall.
    3) We could change from free flow to turn based conversation to ensure everyone has their say and that its obvious if someone was skipped/voiced over.
    4) Through what i have learnt, I'm now better aware of how to conduct and act in meetings to maximize efficiency and maintain order.]]>     2022-07-21 15:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2247668590     Isaac https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2252615499 1. Learning that it is okay to disagree with other members of the meeting and provide alternatives that I think might be better.

    2. We struggled to plan something within the short time limit. The agenda and solutions we gave weren't very clear and not stated in detail. Our meeting was also too scripted as we took turns to speak instead of cutting through one another's giving feedback and opinions.

    3. Be more participative and give feedback to one another on how to improve on future sessions.

It has also taught me to be well prepared beforehand and to take notes.]]>     2022-08-01 06:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2252615499     Xin Yi https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2255138518 1. From this experience, one key communication skills i observed was active listening.  My members and I would nod our heads and pay full attention to the person who is speaking. Besides that, there was a good flow of discussion led by the chairman. 
    2. It was challenging as we had to coordinate what to say and come up with ideas on the spot. 
    3. We should clear agenda by agenda one at a time so that everyone has a clear idea of what is going on and how they can continue to contribute. We can also add on to points already stated by other members so that there’s an agreement on what should be done. 
    4. Skills such as active listening would help me in the future when others are speaking as it is a form of respect and acknowledgement of what others are saying. Adding on to points or giving constructive feedback on points contributed by others can also show my acknowledgment towards what him/her said, as it helps show everyone that I am processing and understanding what was being said. ]]>     2022-08-05 00:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2255138518     Anushree s10240026 https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2255210908 One of the key communication techniques I've observed is making eye contact with the speaker and changing your body language to show that you are attentive to them. Previously I didn't realise that bad posture would send the wrong message to the speaker. Now I am more conscious about my body language when someone is speaking. 

    I thought the meeting experience was overall fun. It was a little daunting at first but after a brief time I believe everyone had their fair share of laughs. I think it's a little nostalgic to my secondary and primary school days since it shares some similarities with oral.

    I think my team and I could spend a little time planning what each one of us are going to say individually, rather than spending most of the time deciding on who is going to speak first.

    I think the skills ive learnt from this experience would help me in the future by making me seem like a more professional and organised person compared to the rest. It would definitely boost how others perceive me and make me more respected in my workplace.

    1. Personally, one of the key communication techniques i have learnt is adapting to situations. In this meeting, sometimes people might add in extra details, and one would have to learn how to adapt to their suggestions. And in this scenario i was given, thinking on the go and explaining my thoughts as i spoke. Thus, adapting to situations in this meeting was a crucial and important lesson to me. 

    2. I felt that this meeting experience was rather intriguing. The flow of the meeting was very fast paced compared to the informal ones we had as a group for our KAB project. This meeting had a certain level of seriousness added to the atmosphere and you could feel the pressure. However, i felt that it was not challenging but a good experience. 
    3. I think from this experience, my group could have discussed a tad bit more on the scenario and led the discussion abit slower. Everybody points was valid but we had however spoke too fast for my liking and it was hard to keep track of where the discussion was heading towards. This made it hard to type in the minutes as well. 

    4. I think that the skills and techniques i learnt from this experience would enable me to adapt and apply to it in real world context. As such, making it easier for me to integrate into working life. Not to mention that the skills learnt would give me a headstart compared to other employees who had not learnt these skills. 
    Overall, it was a good meeting and i had learnt many skills to use in the future and present. ]]>     2022-08-05 02:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/psp21/vqu9eu9el92frqqq/wish/2255212041
