CIMA holds workshop on 'men only'
According to three separate research projects by Harvard University,
the Carnegie Foundation, and the Stanford Research Institute "Success in
getting, keeping and advancing in a job depends 85% on soft skills, and
15% on technical knowledge and skills'.
Research also shows that 55% of the first impression we make on
others is based on our appearance, 38% based on our presentation / body
language and only 7% on what we say the first time we meet someone.
The art of etiquette really comes down to being thoughtful of the
other people you encounter in your everyday life.
We all tend to associate "proper behavior" with formal social events
but true etiquette involves behaving with respect and consideration for
others in everything that you do.
Good manners are not a matter of simply "following the rules." What's
important is the reason underlying the desired behavior. Etiquette is
about being considerate and honest with others.
Manners matter, because manners are really about showing respect for
another person.
We hold the door for a woman not because there's a rule that says we
should, but because it is an act of kindness and a way to make the woman
you're with feel special.
When you act in this spirit, she will know it and appreciate you for
it.
If you hold the door just because "that's the rule," she'll see right
through you. - Peter Post Here is an opportunity to learn how to make
the most of your assets and dress for your goals, social skills
necessary to help you project confidence and make a great first and
lasting impression.
Make this part of your resolution for 2013.
