Hi Hardik,
The file you have shared is good. I am involved in the job of training first and final year students of B.Tech and MBA in personality development and communication skills. I think I can apply some of the activities in my training, but can you suggest some exercises/activities which can be used to work on the soft skill aspects of students?

Hi Vishal,
Here, you require some training activities about soft skills for students.
Soft skill training starts at the individual level or in a group where one acknowledges the need for sensitivity and empowering others. The mere presence of communicating with the right tone and words at the right time makes the response of another acknowledging and polite.
Soft skill training improves the Quality of Work Life of employees, thereby raising their levels of productivity and satisfaction, so it is beneficial for both sides.
The list for soft skill training is mentioned below:
1) Communication Skills
2) Assertiveness Training
3) Business Etiquette
4) Time Management
5) Conflict Resolution Training
6) Team Building
7) Stress Management Training
8) Motivational Training
9) Leadership Training
10) Creativity & Innovation
This is an example of one particular soft skill training.
Example: Communication game - "Non-verbal Communication"
In this training game, the participants are sitting in pairs. This training game is about introductions. So, it is usually played at the beginning of a training session. It does not matter how familiar or unfamiliar the participants are with each other; this communication game or training game is an interesting way of introducing a picture.
The participants are paired up with the person sitting next to them. They are then asked to introduce a picture to each other and do some action only for their partner about the picture.
After everybody has done that, they are asked to introduce their partner to the group without using words.
There will be some very funny moments as well as shouts of triumph as participants guess correctly the interesting facts about the members of their group.
Leadership Vision:
This training game can be played in a large group (around 30 people) or in small groups (approximately 10 people).
Let's say you are playing this game in small groups. Each group has to choose a facilitator. The task is to give each facilitator a shape, such as a square, a circle, a triangle, etc. The facilitator's task is to get the group to stand in that shape.
Here's the catch: the facilitator/the group cannot speak or draw. They can only gesture or touch to get the task done. They cannot push or pull people into position.
Variation: The task can also be to get all the group members to sit in that shape. Or it could be that all the group members are meant to stand on one leg or with their eyes closed. Be as creative as you want.
Leadership Vision: The debrief of this training game:
Lesson 1: Only the leader is given the task. Similarly, only the leader has the complete picture. The leader can only ensure that every person knows this picture and participates in achieving this picture, without forcing them to have it.
When no force is used, there is willing participation. When no telling is used, there is a challenge in sharing it and achieving it. A crucial learning from this training game.
Lesson 2 from this training game: Leading by example. The best way to demonstrate a task, willingness to achieve, and dignity of labor is to lead by example. Telling will impress only those whose style it is to do when told (which is probably only 10% of your team strength).
This game can be used to demonstrate the concept of building 'shared visions.' There are five alternatives to building a shared vision - telling, selling, testing, consulting, and co-creating.
You should conduct this type of training for students.
