"I only wish I could find an
institute that teaches people how to listen. Business people need to listen at
least as much as they need to talk. Too many people fail to realize that real
communication goes in both directions." - Lee Iacocca, Former CEO Chrysler
Corporation
JAM is the acronym for Just A Minute. In this process, students are asked to speak
on a topic of their choice or on a given topic for a minute. It is conducted
for students to improve their communication skills. It helps the introvert and
shy students to take initiative and speak on the topic for a minute. It helps
students condense the entire essence precisely in their mind, and speak only
the relevant aspects within a minute. In
addition, it can be used during the teaching session as well by the
teachers. After completion of the
teaching session, the teachers can ask the volunteers or handpick some students
and ask them to speak what they understood about the session. By this, students
will be able to listen and learn well.
It is an integral part of Meka’s
Method, an innovative tool coined by this author.
Some companies conduct JAM session
during their employment interview to test the communication skills of the
candidates. That is the reason JAM is included in Campus Recruitment Training
Programs to encourage students to improve their communication skills thus
enhancing their employability skills. Hence, students must actively participate
in JAM sessions in educational institutions to improve their communication
skills and grab employment opportunities.
"The two words 'information' and
'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite
different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting
through." - Sydney J. Harris
