1. Self Branding
Is your story convincing?
Who doesn’t like a good story? Aren’t stories an integral part of our lives. In fact, creating a self-brand is all
about telling your personal story in a convincing and interesting way!
Any person with a strong digital footprint is a great story teller. Currently, if you are not using the social
media to tell your brand story, you are missing out on a big opportunity. Platforms such as LinkedIn,
MySpace, Pinterest have millions of users and in order to stand apart, your story must go beyond your two-
page resume.
Take a minute – Is your story convincing enough? When someone looks at your LinkedIn profile, do they
know that you are a brilliant strategist who could turn their game around or you are someone who could sell
any idea with your words?
Here are few tips to build a convincing personal brand:
A headline: Every story has a title, yours must too. The headline may refer to your current title, but also
keep in mind the keywords that people would use if they were to search for you. The headline should
capture the reader and compel him to read your story.
A real story with results: As a professional with years of experience behind you, you would definitely have a
long list of achievements, and thus, a number of winning stories to tell. However, every story will not connect
with the reader. You must dig into your experience and think of the road blocks you had to overcome to
achieve a certain result and quantify your wins in numbers if possible.
Vision: While it is important to bring out your skills and showcase the results you have achieved, it is equally
important to share your vision. The whole theme of your personal story should bring out the ideals and skills
that define you, which of course, would be mapped to your target role.
Remember, a great story teller persuades his audience with ease and leaves a lasting impression. In order
to differentiate yourself from the crowd, start crafting your story now!

2. Are you a social media miser?
Imagine bumping into someone at a conference and suffering a downpour of their political, religious or sexual
views that you couldn’t care less about. Well, it won’t ever happen really (hopefully) as most of us are
extremely professional at such social events. However, this line is easily diluted when it comes to social
media. One often doesn’t think before posting an opinion online. While you may believe it is great to share
your opinion, do stop and think whether you would be interested in following someone with similar social
media activity.
Often, professionals stay away from social media due to fear of being misunderstood or not being sure of
social media etiquette. While pouring your heart out online is not a good idea, being a social media miser
will also not do any good to your personal brand.
In order to build a stellar personal brand, you need to consistently post across your social profiles in a
planned fashion. Ask yourself the following questions:
What is your message?
What do you want to be perceived as?
What is your buzz?
Once you have zeroed in on the above, actively post without deviating from your USP as well as find
relevant groups and communities on LinkedIn and Facebook, where you can participate in conversations
around your areas of interest. Post helpful comments that are relevant to the group members and see your
connections grow.
Remember, don’t be stingy with social media; just be stringent.

5. Tapas Tours of Seville – Tour Description

tradition of the Spaniards in the quaint local bars serving the most authentic tapas you would ever taste.
Tapas are small portions of food, hot or cold, served in bodegas and bars to accompany your glass of wine.
Tradition has it that wine makers in Andalusia used a lid or tapas to cover a wine glass before serving to
prevent flies from entering inside. To attract more clientele, a small portion of some delectabl e recipe was
placed on the lid, leading to the origin of Tapas. It is customary to stand at the bar for tapas.

traditional to the modern recipes with a twist.
Seville, the home of Tapas, offers many ‘Tapa’ paths that will soak you up in an exquisite palatable journey.

6. Fitness
Train Wise to Get Stronger
You have entered that gym about a hundred times, spent time, effort and money. Too much sweat and
tears, but no result to be seen…
Remember, it is not just about training, it is about training right. Avoid the following mistakes and see your
body shape up just the way you want!
The company matters
The age-old adage, “A man is known by the company he keeps,” couldn’t be truer. You will be surprised to
know that even your training regime is affected by the company you keep. Avoid hitting the gym with lazy
and negative people. A positive mind and positive company will lead to positive results quicker.
Late to bed and early to rise, makes your strength training futile!
Research has proved that lack of sleep adversely affects your performance at the gym.
Sleep refreshes the mind and the body. Anabolic hormones such as the growth hormone and testosterone
are released during sleep that are important to repair the wear and tear in the body caused by strength
training. Sleep deprivation leads to exhaustion, increased rate of injury, loss of focus and reflex. Aim to sleep
for a minimum 7-8 hours to reap the maximum benefit from your training routine.
Machine Training
Yes, we all love working out on machines and they are great for building isolated body parts. However, pure
machine workout neglects stabilizing muscles and also does not take into account full movement patterns. To
build proper strength, apart from targeting specific muscles, it is imperative to teach muscle groups to work
together. Thus, in order to build optimal strength, free weights are an indispensable addition. Free weights
work in a more synergized way and if used properly, will keep your joints healthy in the long run.
Too much cardio is as bad as too less
Cardio is an important part of any exercise – whether you want to lose weight, build strength or stay in
shape. However, too much cardio (over 60 minutes) can lead to muscle loss and can even slow down your

7. metabolism. As the metabolic rate slows down and the resting heart rate decreases, it becomes more difficult
to burn fat.
A study conducted by the University of Tampa showed that jogging with a strength training routine brings
down your strength gain by 50%. A better idea is to opt for a low intensity cardio work out (such as
walking) with your strength training.
Staying hydrated is key
Dehydration can destroy your performance at the gym. Water is the most anabolic agent that you could stock
up on – stay hydrated for better strength!
Research has indicated that not having enough water can lead to increased protein breakdown. Make sure
you have 3-4 liters of water every day and double it up if you stay in a hot and humid climate.
Sweat it out smart to make a difference in your body. Avoid these common mistakes to get the best out of
your workout.
Take good care of your body; it is the only place you have to live!
