The two traits that one might expect to improve as a result of participating in collegial discussions are:
-
Debate skills – Engaging in discussions helps individuals hone their ability to argue and engage with different viewpoints.
-
Self-confidence – Participating in discussions can bolster one's confidence in expressing ideas and engaging with others.
While writing technique and language skills may also benefit from discussions, the direct impact of discussion settings typically favors debate skills and self-confidence more prominently. Self-respect is an internal attribute that may not be directly addressed through discussion participation.
