Few are born leaders,
while the other few need to be groomed to become one. The social background and
the ambiance one is raised-up in, have lot of impacts on the individual’s
behavior, confidence, and outlook too. Despite having strong professional
skills, the soft skills can make or break one’s image.
I could prove
it well with my latest client who is a promoter of a company. Well, there was
no doubt about his business acumen. His vision was quite clear and his plans
for the growth and expansion his company were equally impressive.
However, this
young man hailed from an lower economic class and with his hard work and
efforts could reach to this stature, lacked some other aspects which hold
importance, especially when one needs to present oneself on a public platform.
Those were his dressing sense, gestures and communication skills.
I started with
his wardrobe management and gave him right dressing
guidance. We replaced his old collection
of clothes with formal ones, which gave him an instant makeover. I guided him
to choose the correct shoes and accessories too. Now it was term for grooming. Since he has to deal with lot
of corporate people, I brushed up his etiquette on dining, greeting and even
handshaking.
However the
most challenging was to remove his mother
tongue influence from his spoken English. I had to take quite a number of
sessions and finally his linguistic
skills saw remarkable transformation. This helped him to overcome the fear
of public speaking and now he speaks of his company in meets and seminars,
quite impressively.
These small changes
brought big benefits to him and his company.
If you want to
be a winner like him, a small step towards me seeking my assistance, can bring
you closer to your dream position!
Work on Self.
Make a Difference!!
