1. ART OF SUCCESS
To become successful in any field in a competitive scenario, two things need to happen. First, one must
get an opportunity to perform. Second when a chance does come along, one must be able to perform
on the given day. While performance on the given day depends on hard skills one has acquired through
education and experience and the soft skills one has picked up, getting the opportunity to perform
depends largely on creating a great impression by projecting the appropriate image.
With increasing competition in every walk of life and the resulting preparation, most are aware of the
need for hard skills. This they acquire through academic education and technical knowledge. But what
many don’t spend time on is developing strong interpersonal skills, often referred to as. Soft skills and
projecting all the inner strengths outside to inspire confidence in an interview or a meeting.
But what is not known to career aspirants is known to the corporate world. As companies to away with
layers of middle management. In these challenging times and senior management trims down.
Organizations are demanding that people work faster, cheaper and smarter. Corporate cultures have
gone from vertical to horizontal, and collaborative partnerships are replacing the old command-and-
control managerial hierarchy.
In this increasingly team-driven and intimate workplace, leaders and flowers interact more closely and
deficiencies in personality become clearer. Simply stated, we need strong soft skills just to get along
with each other. And when we get along only when can a company achieve its goals.
It is important to understand that, although we all carry certain skills, experience and ability, the people
we meet usually judge us on the basis of what meets their eyes. Image that is your appearance, sends
messages about you based on which people decide in a few seconds whether to deal with you or not.
In the human evolution process, body image develops first and has an effect on self image. Self esteem
and self confidence making you perform better. At the same time, soft skills increase your competences
and hence, your confident and self esteem, making it essential for everyone to possess both soft skills
and the ability to project a winning image.
Soft Skills and image management are now getting recognized in India as one of the most relevant and
important industries. With even the government, deciding to allocate thousands of crores on soft skills
development, the industry is growing by leaps and bounds. What is still lacking is the availability of
skilled and certified trainer in these areas, as most of the existing trainers are self proclaimed and
neither qualified nor certified. For Corporate soft skills training please visit our website:
