It can’t be denied that respect is earned through respecting
not only others but most importantly oneself. Surprising yet true, today being
presentable holds equal importance as one’s educational, financial or even
professional capabilities.
Few months back in a formal gathering, I met a lady who was
HR head of a manufacturing company in Delhi. She looked quite upset, despite
her high profile job. On query she shared her story.
Owing to the nature of her job, she hardly used to get time
to dedicate to herself. Being mother of two young sons; she also had to take
care of the home front. Her family and career commitment, however, started
affecting other aspects of her life and it was her appearance. Though she was
pretty, but the busy schedule and self-negligence left her with a shabby and
dull look. Soon, she realized that not only her team at work place, but also
her husband and sons stopped giving her the respect and attention she
deserved. She understood all these time
it did matter how others perceived her. Loosing morale was natural. Her job too
suffered due to this.
I extended my services to bring a transformation in her life.
In next few days she kept coming for my sessions. I taught her how to practice self-grooming and dressing neatly. It shows that you respect this aspect of your
personality. She had forgotten to smile all these while, but under me she
realized how a good smile reflects
that you love your own company and others’ too. Her strong communication skills backed her hearty smile. We worked on her body language as well, which has
otherwise turned very discouraging. Soon she replaced it with positive vibes. I must admit she was a
quick learner!
In just next three months, she received award of most popular
HR Head in her company. Even her family is surprised to discover this new
person. I am extremely glad to help her bring this positive change in her. It
is an absolute encouragement to me too.
Bottom line is, one must learn to respect self to be
respected by others!
Work on Self. Make a
Difference!!
