PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Attire • Attire can really make or break a person’s

impression. Always make sure you wear an appropriate dress for the event. When in doubt, err on the side of being too formal. Sensible dressing does go a longer way in making a great impression that one would think.

Grooming

• Personal grooming and hygiene is also equally important. Having well-groomed and neat hair, nails and a tidy appearance will create a positive image of you.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTSmile

• A smile from the heart can do wonders. Smile openly and happily, let it shine through . A winning smile is an unavoidable weapon when you want to charm someone.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTEye contact

• Eye contact is very important when you first meet someone. It says that you are open and honest, and gives a nice impression of you. Make sure you maintain eye contact.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTBody Language

Keep your body language confident and open. Do not fidget and do not display a defensive or offensive stance.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT Confidence

Being calm and confident will surely make others take a liking to you. On the other hand, if you appear diffident and nervous, it will make people feel unsure about you and make them ill at ease too. So be cool ,collected and confident.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTPositivity

Reflect optimism and positivity, both in good times and, perhaps even more importantly, in bad times. Have a pleasant disposition and positive mental attitude [PMA].Keep away from comments.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Listening Keep your ears open for what others have to say.

Most people love to hear their own voice, so a good listener immediately gets an entry to their good books. Resist the temptation to boast or tell long stories about yourself, and let the other person talk. This does not mean being silent though. Ask questions, be interested in the other person and do join in the conversation.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTEtiquette and Manners

Politeness and courtesy are very important. Make sure you are well-mannered and do not make rude comments or racist/sexist jokes.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Punctuality Be on time. No one feels

considerate towards people who keep them waiting, so be a few minutes early. Being late for your commitments will cause irreparable damage.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Control over emotions:• Exercise control over your emotions. Do

not indulge in throwing temper tantrums, yelling spells, name calling, nervous breakdowns or guilt trips. Keep your emotions under check. Never ever lose your cool. Try to develop a high EQ (emotional quotient).

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Posture Standing and sitting

straight is an important non-verbal cue you send out to others. It helps project an image of confidence and capability.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT Being yourself Do not try too hard. Try to relax and

be yourself, and don't think too much. Tell yourself that the people you meet are all human beings after all, and that you will be just fine.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Time Management:

Manage your time in such a manner that apart from being able to perform well at your work, you have time to nurture quality relationship with loved ones and indulge in hobbies which enrich you.
