It is not just your face that makes you a woman of substance; it is your communication skills, body language, personal hygiene and home management and of course, how you carry yourself. Apart from this, how you speak, how you sit, what you wear, how you treat your guests and how you plan and organise things also matter a lot. You need to be an all rounder to become the center of attraction wherever you go. Women just don't need to look attractive. They also need to look smart, act smart and behave smart. If you also desire to be a perfect woman, you can work upon yourself to be an impressive person. Keeping in mind the special needs of women, we have designed a training programme that is experiential in nature and involves you in the learning journey through:
•Communication Skills
Learning to speak the language of power requires confidence. However, many women are perceived as being deficient in this area.
For example, a survey of 8,000 men by Alma Baron, Ph.D., turned up seven reasons men gave for not wanting a female boss. Topping that list was, "She's not confident" and "She doesn't have clout or real power."
The bottom line in power communications is confidence. When you believe in yourself and what you are saying, your voice, facial expression and stance reflect that. So there's a catch-22 at work here, but help is on its way now.
•Interpersonal skills
Women in the workplace is now a part of life and why if men benefit from all the ego and testosterone, shouldn't the best of women be brought to the fore. Interpersonal skills not only come handy at work place but also in personal life.
•Winning personality
Women with an attractive or winning personality are the women one feels irresistibly inclined to look at; the result being some sort of positive emotional effect that they 'stir up' within us.
The effect could be feelings of admiration, curiosity, or possibly, reverence. And some women have had so much "personality" and charm, that they've affected people like music, or like the pictures that speak to us.
•Motivation
Motivation for women - Let's take a stereotypical look at men vs. women in the workplace:
Men tend to like power, control and strength.
Women are more emotionally driven.
A man tends to jump in when he comes face to face with an issue and take over. He will deal with it then and there and get it over with.
A woman asks questions first, make sure she understands the task, and then completes it to perfection.
Men like to work alone.
Women prefer to help each other.
•Conflict resolution skills
Why is it so critical for women to learn to deal with conflict?
Negative stereotypes
Double standards
Women don't speak up
Maintain emotional composure.
Assess and diagnose the situation.
Determine the most appropriate response.
Resolve the conflict.
How to stick to your guns and not back down on important issues.
How not to allow unresolved anger and resentment to damage an important relationship.
Ways to banish anger and frustration when dealing with difficult people.
How to stop people from taking advantage of you.
•Stress management
The sad truth is that stress is probably the most significant contributor to disease — and it is the most difficult to treat. The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2020, psychological and stress-related disorders will be the second leading cause of disabilities in the world. It's fascinating to me that something which can be perceived in our minds can have that kind of effect on our physiology. But if we look at the science, it makes perfect sense. Stress — real or perceived, acute or chronic — affects your health. It changes hormonal pathways and the way neurotransmitters relay information. If these disruptions remain ongoing, there are serious implications for your body. The good news is, it's never too late to do something about stres. we are all about learning effective stress management strategies that allow you to get on with your life and enjoy the journey.
•Emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence has four parts: self-awareness, managing our emotions, empathy, and social skill. There are many tests of emotional intelligence, and most seem to show that women tend to have an edge over men when it comes to these basic skills for a happy and successful life. That edge may matter more than ever in the workplace, as more companies are starting to recognize the advantages of high EI when it comes to positions like sales, teams, and leadership.
Thus women's complaint that men are tuned out emotionally, and men's that women are too emotional - it's a brain difference.
"Emotional Intelligence or EI is one's ability to decipher and control emotions. People with high emotional intelligence understand that there are reasons why people feel a certain way and recognise that 'how they feel' not only affects other people but also affects how well they themselves perform their tasks. They understand and accept that different people have different emotions and have various ways of showing such emotions. These people think before they act or say anything because they are considerate of other people's feelings."
•Telephone etiquettes
Telephone etiquette can influence how you are perceived at work, by clients and colleagues alike. Keep these dos and don'ts in mind.
Remember to introduce yourself when answering the call, and ask the caller who you are speaking to. This immediately puts both the caller and yourself at ease and you will also know how best to speak to them.
Listen to the caller and take the time to hear and understand what it is that they are trying to say. It is always a good habit to repeat the information back to the person on the line especially if you are taking a message.
Be aware of your tone of voice, and try to sound enthusiastic and upbeat at all times. A 'smile' can often be heard over the phone!
Give your full attention to the caller; rather than scratching for a pen in your desk, paging through a magazine or reading your emails. Concentrate on the caller and what they are saying. Do not eat or drink while you are on the telephone and try not to get distracted by people around you.
Speak clearly and don't mumble. The caller cannot see your face or body language, so taking the time to speak clearly and slowly is very important.
Convey your points in a factual, sincere manner and be polite and professional throughout the conversation.
Let the caller know if you are placing them on hold. Mention to them who you are trying to get hold of and who they are being put through to, instead of just sending them to someone else.
Check in with the caller periodically if you need to put them on hold for an extended period of time. Make sure they know you haven't forgotten about them.
Thank the person for calling and ask them to call again. Developing good telephonic relationships can only help you in your career growth.
•Personal grooming & body language
Body language and non verbal communication encompass so many things that you may or may not think of when it comes to how people are reading you or even when it comes down to what others consider what communication is or how you are effectively or not effectively delivering your verbal or nonverbal message.
If you are delivering a message and it is not understood or even conveyed properly whose fault is that?
That would be for the most part yours. Learning how to control your nonverbal communication or body language signs is all on your shoulders not someone else's yours.
This may sound harsh but it is your job to gather as much information as possible and do as many role playing or projection projects so that you can overcome persuasive obstacles or stop making mistakes while communicating with others.
This may sound harsh but it is your job to gather as much information as possible and do as many role playing or projection projects so that you can overcome persuasive obstacles or stop making mistakes while communicating with others.
No when most people think of communicating nonverbally or with their body language they think of:
Hands
Feet
Facial Expressions
Standing
Sitting
Flirting
The body language of men vs the body language of women
You hair and how you decide to keep it. Is it there? Is it stylish? Is it non kept? Did you take the time to get yourself ready for whoever you come across or did you throw a hat on?
Next up would be your teeth, now we are not discussing those who were born with a perfect smile but did you brush your teeth when you woke up. As a side note have you considered that bad breath could be looked at as lack of control on your part and then would affect your nonverbal communication? Yes bad breath may be communicating that you don't care about the recipient of your message. Did you brush your tongue or get the white film off. Would you benefit from teeth whitening? Did you brush your teeth? Is there something there from your last meal. Sometimes people will stare at your teeth and lick theirs while talking to you, this is a fairly good and almost blatant nonverbal sign you have something there at this point it is ok to ask them.
Your skin may also determine what others thing about you, once again this is a personal grooming issue. Some people need some lotion to make their skin sparkle just a bit more. Some people have had issues in the past and have developed large or small blemishes. Whatever can be done reasonably to minimize these issues should be done.
Facial hair some people prefer moustaches, goatees or Vandyke's but are those statements trimmed? Where they meant to intimidate? Are they even when trimmed or not trimmed? If the facial hair is long is it intentional to keep people away or hide away from society? These issues or styles can mean more than just conversation pieces they can be deterrents nonverbally or a disguise to slip away.
Did you zip your zipper or button your blouse all the way. Either one of this issues can throw off your message nonverbally as it may cause more attention than you would like, If you are a female and delivering a message to men and there is a reason to stare at the button mistake your female body language may portray a message that isn't wanted. In some instances this can include too much or excessive cleavage. Now understand that there is not a meter or judge for excessive cleavage but if it is getting too much attention and derailing your verbal message it may need to be toned down meaning either closing another button or eve using a jacket.
•Power dressing & business attire
Power dressing for women is about asserting themselves and projecting their inner competence. It's very necessary to power dress to create those first and last impressions of confidence. And it doesn't have to be difficult if you follow a few straight forward rules.
Rule 1: Simple, stylish and sleek is the way to go.
Rule 2: Choose western or Indian formals based on your personal style preference.
Rule 3:Stick to the power colors.
Rule 4:Bend Rule 3 when necessary.
As women, you are used to wearing a wide range of clothing types, colors, fabrics and accessories. But there are limits of style and line when selecting power dressing clothes and accessories for your wardrobe.
In this post, we shall discuss the general principles. the former although the general principles are relevant for the latter too.
Clothing Style:
Many believe that power dressing, in fact any corporate dressing, involves western wear. That's not true. You can choose between western wear – trousers and skirts – or Indian wear – saris and cigarette pants. The basic rule is to keep the lines straight and the frills out. Of course, if you are attending an international conference or meeting, it would be more appropriate to wear western wear.
