CRAFT YOUR PERSONALITY

Personality promotes perception and a promising perception pledges progress.

 Personality development thus plays a key role in empowering one’s journey to success. Naturally, it is not difficult to guess what and how important the role of a personality development program would be in the person’s life who is just setting out on his corporate expedition.

 Presenting one’s personality, in a way that is best perceived is however not an inborn talent but an acquired skill. If one is to emerge successfully and take charge of his future, it is imperative to invest some time in developing one’s personality through programs that specialise in the same.

 Having said that, below are details of the various crucial modules a personality development course comprises of: 

  • APPEARANCE MANAGEMENT

 

How you appear says a lot about who you are and what are you capable of.

Appearance is all about how you carry yourself and the statement you make. It comprises of the following: 

  • Dressing Right

55% of another person’s perception of you is influenced by how you dress. 75% recruiters believe that how one dresses up definitely influences his position, power and promotions at work. Thus, always remember to dress for the role you wish to have. Dress for success!

  • Grooming and Hygiene

Your first impression lasts for longer than you expect. While you wear your attitude, don’t forget to appear clean, hygienic and well cared for.

  • BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT

 

  • To grow in any sphere of life, one must apply behavioural techniques that are rewarding, productive, and socially suitable. In the corporate scenario, behaviour management techniques provide strategies to curb actions that can hinder growth, instead of boosting positivity, productivity and respect.
  • Interpersonal Skills

These skills are used day-on-day to interact with those around us. Demonstrating interpersonal skills effectively promotes unity, optimism and pumps up the productivity of an individual as well as the organisation.

  • Verbal, Vocal & Non-Verbal

Communication is all about passing information and we do the same using words, gestures, body language, facial expressions, eye contact, etc. Be aware of the signals you send out with or without speaking. 

  • Listening Skills

Retain, reflect, react. Communication is also about understanding before responding so that the exchange is productive and not futile.

  • Create a Good Impression

Being confident, honest and clued-up goes a long way in creating the impact you wish to when you first meet someone. 

  • Dressing for Success

Always dress for the job you wish to have. Your choice of clothes and accessories should be smart, not stiff, they must compliment you rather than shadow you and should never make you appear loud or sloppy.

  • Appropriate Grooming and Hygiene

Personal hygiene, smelling good, looking well trimmed and neat often leave a positive impact on your interviewers as they like to see you as a presentable face of their company, should they hire you.

  • Group Discussion & Personal Interview Ready

A mock interview, of the varied rounds, does a world of good. Engage with people who too are preparing for what you are. Help each other by playing devil’s advocate, practising together and trying to figure out answers to the difficult questions that you suspect would crop up during the interview.

Walk the ropes, learn the tricks of the trade and be prepared beforehand to become a better professional with these vital personality development program modules, as mentioned above.
