Do This
• Narrate your story confidently in a clear voice in about one minute (for
repeater batches-40 sec is safe).
• Remain confident about being selected, remain relaxed and do not
feel pressurised to force your views on others, in the fear that others
will dominate you.
• Don’t look at the assessors while narrating the story, or during the dis-
cussion.
• Listen to the speakers attentively.
• Be polite, give your ideas and views only, and do not argue with others.
• In case the entire group is shouting, as happens in some repeater
groups, do not try to out shout others, but await your turn patiently. In
case of total chaos it is sensible to state: “Gentlemen/ladies, let us not
shout; let us make a consensus story!”
• Do not try to dominate the discussion by speaking more. The quality of
your views is more important than how much you speak.
• Once the discussion stage starts treat the story that you narrated as just
one of the 15 stories. Do not remain attached to it.
• If the story of the majority of the group is similar to yours, it is easy to
contribute to the discussion.
• In case your story is different from the entire group, please speak with a
view to reach at a consensus story.
