Development
Training

2. PERSONALITY & CONFIDENCE

3. Get to Know Who You Are
Who are you? What values do you stand for? How would you
describe yourself as a human being? How do you define
your humanity? Those are just a number of tough questions
you have to answer as you work introspectively on yourself.
Knowing who you are is the best confidence building exercise
you can ever do. It trumps any other cosmetic confidence
booster as you are strong in your core foundations.

4. Practice Makes Perfect
commit to frequent and regular practice for interviews,
walking, hair and makeup preparation, and training for
physical fitness. Aside from the mental preparation,
nothing beats the added boost of knowing you prepared
physically for the competition at hand. This means that
you bring yourself at your best for the pageant.

5. Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Candidates
There will be times when your confidence will be tested
specially at the midst of competition. Stop yourself when
you start comparing yourself to other MEN. Stop yourself
when you find yourself getting envious of other men’s
wardrobe or physical traits. Know that who you are is
enough to make you win.

6. Be Authentic!
Authenticity is the key to leaving a lasting impact. Judges
and audiences appreciate genuine personalities. Being
true to oneself allows contestants to shine in their own
light, making them stand out amidst the competition.

7. Self Reflect
Before Stepping onto the stage, take the time to
understand your strengths, weaknesses, and values.
Embrace your individuality and let it shine through in
every aspect of the competition.

8. Practice your Communication Skills
The ability to express oneself articulately is paramount.
Whether answering interview questions or delivering
speeches, effective communication skills demonstrate
intelligence and thoughtfulness. It’s not just about what is
said, but how it is said. Try to engage in public speaking
exercises, participate in mock interviews, and seek
constructive feedback to refine your verbal expression.

9. BASIC DO’s & DON’TS IN PAGEANTS

10. Be YOU!
It pays to be professional in pageants without losing your
personality. If you are the quiet type, no need to put on an
outgoing front just to get the judges and organization to
like you. If you are the naturally outgoing type, then be
just that, without making it appear that you aren’t taking
the pageant seriously.

11. Connect with your Audience
Build a connection with the audience by being relatable,
Share personal anecdotes, express vulnerability, and
engage with the spectators. Creating a genuine
connection can make a lasting impression.

12. Cultivate a Positive Mindset
Maintain a positive mindset throughout the competition.
Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and
radiate positivity, A positive attitude not only enhances
your personal experience but also resonate with the
audience.

13. Social Impact Initiatives
Engage in meaningful social impact initiatives,
Demonstrating a commitment to making positive a
difference in the community adds depth to your
personality and resonates with the pageant’s values.

14. Grace Under Pressure
Pageants can be intense and the ability to maintain grace
under pressure is crucial. Stay composed, handle
challenges with poise, and demonstrate resilience in the
face of adversity.

15. Etiquette and Attitude Matters
Acting like a Star or like God’s gift to pageantry will not
get you anywhere. Do not act as if the world revolves
around you because it doesn’t. Nowadays, pageant orgs
have a hand in selecting the semi-finalist or even the
winner. So if they see you as a potential problem to work
with then you might not get the chance to even advance
to the semis, much less to win the title.

16. Etiquette and Attitude Matters
You have to go into the pageants with the
mindset that you are competing with Men who are just as
qualified for the title as you. So do not think you are
superior in any way. Learn a thing or two on basic
etiquette so you don’t look out of place when you are
dining or talking with sponsors, politicians, and judges.
