I have no doubt that the leaders of Scout Movement are having very much self-confidence. They are trained in leadership, self-reliance, patriotism, honesty, helpfulness to others and service. When they undergo their higher trainings, their selfconfidence increases. When they inculcate Promise and law in their daily life, they acquire values. When they sing the prayer of Bharat Scouts & Guides, and participate in all faith prayer meetings, they develop obedience, self-confidence and the strength to overcome difficulties. Thus they enjoy a lot in everyday life and they will become much competent to make others happy and thus we all become happy in our life. Hence we will be able to become role models to our Scouts as Scout Leaders.

BP has said “Make others happy and Be happy”. One of the aspect of scouting is to be happy. If we assume that Scouting is for children and if we work to make the children happy, then we can be happy. The real happiness is that we get when we work with children in the Troop. Camping is one of the joyful activity in Scouting which gives us happiness. What is the key to happiness? Obedience to the universal laws of enlightenment and peaceful living is the key to a collected mind and happiness. On the other hand, obedience to the dictates of a sensate culture is the gaping door to the inherent defects of instinctive living: nervousness, constant tension, discontent, conflict, war and terrorism. These are the inevitable results of an acquisitive society with the basic cultural values of competition, prosperity, hedonism and global power. If we allow ourselves to be trapped and deluded by stubborn dedication to sensate culture, we deprive ourselves of spiritual harmony enlightenment and unity. The great wisdom teachers of humanity all attained this inner stability through knowledge of the Self. They came to teach us that unless we achieve this inner stability we will be broken from within, as well as from without, by trying circumstances. Inner stability protects us from inner and outer distraction when adversity comes to us. It makes our life meaningful, healthy and creative. It purifies the mind, which can then enjoy a taste of eternal bliss. We have to develop a technique to strengthen our selfconfidence. This, of course, is not something that can be accomplished in a single day. Though it may appear impossible in the beginning, patience and sustained effort will help us to overcome difficulties and to gain confidence. Confidence is nothing but the feeling of assurance that deep within us there is a power of abundant energy waiting to be released. The lack of this assurance leads to anxiety, fear, doubt, inefficiency and all kinds of debility and weakness. This self-confidence enables us not to crave for the mercy of the influential and powerful prevents us from developing sense of raging hate, saves us from dejection and gives us the inspiration to stand on our own feet. The urge to utilize every opportunity and succeed in life proceeds from this very spirit of self-confidence.

RISING BSG (Impressions of one of the participant of State Level Executive’s Meet held at National Headquarters, New Delhi from 26th to 28th February, 2016) Most honourable CNC Nagaraleji, Honourable Director Sukumaraji, Other Officials on the Dias, Off the Dias, State level officials, Brothers and sisters. I saw a tree, it was shedding leaves, a thought flashed across my mind, a fearful thought. Is the tree dying? I wondered. A divine intervention I saw, in few days new leaves sprouted and the tree was full of life. Wonderful I said. Something similar happened at the BSG, NHQ. New life, new vigour, new hopes, new aspirations. In 1907 a tiny seed that was sown by Lord Baden Powell has become a mighty tree. Now at NHQ, new life injected into the movement and upgradation of NHQ, NTC, NYC and NAI, the Movement is set to grow into a mighty tree, Overwhelming everyone. With the dedication of Hon’ble CNC, charming Director, able Professionals and Officials, it is just a matter of time. CNC Sir, out of all years of your dedicated service as an IAS officer, your contribution to BSG will be Outstanding and most satisfying. Our Director Sir says that we all are looking Smart, Sir we are looking Smart because we are looking at a very very Smart Director as a role model. At this State Level Executive meet we are informed, enriched, enlightened and we go back with renewed strength. From an earlier area of prejudiced judgement now there is a flowing fountain of Love, dignity and care. Though the Headquarters has central AC, the warmth of Love is overwhelming. This meeting is held with high levels of Excellence, never seen before. All the markers of professionalism are visible. The team work appreciable, very cordial and peaceful atmosphere is pleasing to the soul. I appreciate the Chairperson and members of the Recommendation committee for their work of high calibre. Gone are the days when we used to walk into the NHQ like “a lamb taken to slaughter house”. With joyful heart and with due respect to Rabindranath Tagore, this is what I say: “Where the mind is without fear And the Head is held high, I walk into our NHQ, With rainbow in the Sky”....... James Fernandes, State Secretary- Goa

Basics of Effective Presentation Shri Ashutosh Kumar ashujalmahal@yahoo.co.in

Use visuals to make presentation effective:

• •

Everyone has a preferred learning style, but most people understand better through visuals. There is quite a large range of visual aids in use. They can be used according to the need. But one should remember that there is no one visual aid to suit all purposes. We should have flexible attitude towards visual aids. While selecting visuals, one should remember: • Be simple • Visual aids must be fitted well into the presentation. • Ensure everyone in the audience is able to see the visual aid. • Use graphics, icons and symbols to reinforce or communicate a concept • No visual aid should be kept on for too long. • Do not use vertical lettering. • Use a maximum of two sizes of type per page. • Use bullets, not numbers for non-sequential items • Use uppercase and lowercase letters. Only use all uppercase for titles or acronyms. • Use key words, not full sentences • Contain only three to six ideas on each flip chart sheet • Use color where possible, but not excessively. • Look at the audience more than at the visual aid. • Contain only one concept per slide or page

• • •

• • • •

Face your audience and make eye contact Walk around your audience or use movement when you want control, more involvement, or to become one of the group. Watch the audience for nonverbal clues about their response. Breathe. It helps you relax and reduces filler language such as “um” and “er” Tap into four basic impulse underlying your speech- to be open to the audience, to connect with it, to be passionate, and to “listen” to how the audience is responding – and rehearse your presentation with each in mind. Decide when you want to handle questions- during or after the presentation- and tell your audience the preferred time Anticipate questions and prepare likely responses to difficult questions. Avoid one-to one dialogues Be assertive, not aggressive or offensive

How to wrap up presentation:This is the final impression you make on your audience, worth planning for with great care; so do ensure you still have their attention. To wrap-up, you need a strong call to action. Here you should: • Reiterate the presentation’s key message • Integrate your opening points into your closing comments • Recommend action • Suggest agreement • Obtain commitment or buy-in • Provide closure

Golden points to deliver an effective presentation: The experts have outlined following guidelines for effective presentations: • Make the presentation as long as it needs to be to convey your key message clearly and completely. • However, it is better to make fewer points and make them well. Five, plus or minus two, is the limit of most adults for recalling important messages. • During the opening, use a ‘hook’- a comment, question, relevant story, statement or example- to get your audience’s interest and attention. • Make it only long enough to be clear and complete within the allocated time. • If you do not have time to make a point clear or acceptable to your audience, save it for another presentation. • Ending early is better than not completing the task or rushing through the talk at the end. • Your last slide should include executive summary and call for action. • Plan on what to delete if your time is cut short. • Allow time at the end for questions as a basic courtesy. • Make your presentation conversational. • Do no talk from a script rather talk from your notes only if you have to

Things to do after presentation:There are always three speeches for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish to give. (Dale Carnegie) After the presentation, ask for feedback from participants. There are various formats which are used to take feedback from the audience to evaluate the presentation. Note the feedback from the audience to evaluate: • Was your objective achieved? • Did the audience seem engaged and attentive? • If you’re going to give the presentation again, what changes can you make to improve it? • What general lessons did you learn about presenting? The success of any organization in present era depends on whether leadership promotes learning and improvement within organization. Learning and improvement both are continuous process. Hence, always strive to learn more and identify the areas for improvement and work on it. Take the advice of expert or organize session to excel. In due course, it will help anyone to be able to give awardwinning presentation.
