BNEC SEMINAR 2020 : INSPIRING AND INFLUENCING THROUGH PUBLIC SPEAKING

When we talk about gaining knowledge, what is the first thing that pops up in your head? Most of you would probably say study, books, or lectures, but what if there is more to the ways of gaining knowledge that you’ve never thought of before? And yes, I am talking about seminars. Seminars has been proven to be an effective way to gain more knowledge. Through seminars, people are more engaged to a real-life situation, and ‘testimonies’ from an expert. These experts who became the speakers are usually someone who has succeeded in that particular knowledge area.

With a purpose to give their members more knowledge to gain, BNEC managed to hold seminars every year of their presidency. This year is no different than any of the previous years. Despite having the members to stay at home due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, BNEC managed to hold a seminar via zoom meetings, with a theme of “Inspiring through Public Speaking”. The seminar was held on Monday, 24 August 2020, bringing one of the best speakers that BNEC has ever brought on their seminars, Choky Sitohang Speaking Incorporation, with Choky Sitohang himself as the lead speaker. The seminar itself lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes starting from 1.20pm and ended at 3pm.

Through this seminar, BNEC is trying to spread more awareness regarding the importance of public speaking, and how influential it can be. Also, in the same time, teaching how to speak properly in public. Things such as how to gain the awareness of the audience, how to maintain the awareness, and how to entertain the audience are also taught by Choky and his team. We hope through this seminar, everyone who joined the seminar find it useful and finally be able to implement it to their daily lives.
