To Be a Successful Professional

The degree of your success at a meeting will be determined somewhere in the first 30 seconds of your meeting.

A study by UCLA found that "people evaluate one another using the Three V's:
visual (appearance),
vocal (voice) and
verbal (what you say)."
That means that, while you may be able to spout out 1001 reasons as to why you're the right candidate for their "business needs," there's a lot more that goes into winning someone over.

Hence, presentation is key; even though it may taste great, you wouldn't eat something that looked like slop on a plate. The same holds true for business settings.

So now that you're ready to start wowing people, let's see if your Three V's are intact.

Story - The Echo

A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain:
"AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?" Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!" He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?" The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: I admire you!"Again the man screams: "You are a champion!" The voice answers: "You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the World, create more love in your heart.If you want more competence in your team,improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life
will give you back everything you have given to it."


Moral: YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU! As
you give so you get.
