Priyanka,
From what you've posted on this site, you seem to be part of an 'Employee Engagement' initiative.
So, some ground rules first....here goes :
- Whatever it is that you do at these sessions, do it with conviction & passion....very important.
- Don't make it a download/monologue - make in highly interactive
-It needn't always be a 'gyaan' session - mix it up with fun as well
My suggestions :
- 'Think' about what are some of the needs of your organization + interest of employees, and then choose a topic- relevance is very important
- You may consider topics such as ' values,ethics, trust' etc as also, topics related to behaviour - attitude, assertiveness etc
- Dip into 'Panchatantra, Amar Chitra Katha, Aesop's Fables', etc for the topics suggested above and use story - telling as the means of communication
- The CW Games are coming up - facts, figures, champions,records, events etc could be interesting to share
- Use your creativity - change the format- design a simple quiz on a particular topic
- Get employees to use their right - brain too ... they could put down their thoughts on the given topic/subject by drawing them ...chart paper and colours...and then express themselves .
- You could also get employees to compose a small jingle on an appropriate topic and sing it out...divide them into small groups for this kind of activity.
- Use the Experiential Learning methodology.....conduct some simple games through which you can draw out lessons relevant to the chosen topic; at times, do it just for fun as well !!
Recommend avoiding the following topics:
- Politics
- Bollywood
- Gender related stuff( discriminatory)
Net, net, think differently...do things differently so that the activity becomes engaging and fun for the employees , helps you develop as a professional, and achieves the objectives of the organization.
Trust you may find some of the inputs useful.
