Energy is a positive quality


I encourage you to be strongly motivated to improve your lifestyle. 

Focus on your success. 


by Vamp Creations Pty Ltd on Saturday, 24 September 2011 at 16:31

Your ambition to live better is a key factor in your success. People who have a clear vision of what they want in life are the people that succeed. A vague desire to improve your life will never equal the success oriented person's firm determination to move forward with their clearly defined goals. Yes, it takes total commitment.

It is YOUR life and it is up to you!

 Success builds self-esteem and confidence. Successful people have greater influence over their lives. One of the best ways to ensure success is to develop expensive tastes. In addition to surrounding myself with beautiful things, I travel for business and personal enrichment. 

 Energy is a positive quality, a desire to get things done. The visual picture of an energised person is head up, back straight, chest out, tummy in and moving with a sense of purpose. Always square your shoulders and keep your hands out of your pockets. Energetic people do not slump. Energetic people are rarely bored.

 Another key to success is to think of your work as play. You are not doing it to earn a living or because you are expected to do it. You are doing it because it is the best game in town. When we are paid to do something many people think of it as work and therefore drudgery.

 Eliminate the negatives in your life. The negative influences may be television, certain foods, certain environments and certain people. Avoid those emotional vampires, the negative, can't do and the doom and gloom people. I personally avoid anyone that has a bad attitude. All of my friends are filled with optimism, vibrancy of health and focused on an abundant life. 

 I personally think of my work as exhilarating. I am always learning, facing new challenges and focused on making a difference in the world and leaving a legacy. 

I encourage you to be strongly motivated to improve your lifestyle. Focus on your success. Clearly define what success looks like, feels like and tastes like. Life is an adventure. Turn your dreams in to reality. 

Sincerely,
Susie Wilson Image and Etiquette Specialist.

Table Manners

Dining politely should be second nature – or should at least appear to be. We all indulge in less-than-perfect behaviour in private, or in very familiar company, but some consistency at home and away will help you avoid the more heinous table offences.

The cardinal dining crime is eating noisily; nothing is more likely to get you noticed and promptly blacklisted. Keeping your mouth closed while chewing and taking care not to overfill it will enable you to breathe steadily. Eat at a relaxed pace and really think about your food. Not only does this make you appreciate what’s on your plate, but it can also help you moderate your intake if you are so inclined. Wolfing down course after course will make you appear greedy. This is particularly important when dining à deux; your date will feel exposed if you gobble your food, put down your knife and fork and attempt full-throttle conversation while he or she is still eating.

Talking while there is food in your mouth should be avoided at all costs – even when you have a conversational gem up your sleeve. Try to avoid directing a question at someone who is mid-mouthful, but don’t despair if you mistime. A smile and an understanding nod will encourage them to swallow without rushing, spluttering or making sheepish gestures.

When 
dining in a group, always put others’ needs before your own. Do your bit in offering communal dishes around the table, and hold them to assist your neighbour. If you are served a meal that is already on the plate, wait until everyone has been served before picking up your cutlery.

Elbows should remain elegantly poised, but not resting on the table. Napkins should be dealt with as soon as you sit down, and placed on your lap – never tucked into the front of your shirt. Never gesture with your cutlery, and keep the tines of your fork facing downwards – unless it is your sole eating implement, in which case using it scoop-style is acceptable. Always move the soup spoon away from you, tipping the bowl in that direction, if necessary. Break off pieces of bread and butter them in bite-sized pieces. When you have finished, place your 
knife and fork – with the tines facing upwards – together on your plate.

If you are confronted with a plateful that is not to your taste, try to soldier on to avoid hurt feelings.  Always compliment the cook – whatever you feel about the food... it's simply good manners to do so.

Ms Wilson's Top Tips
  • The golden rule is to never eat noisily, or chew with your mouth open.
  • Never talk when your mouth is full, and avoid asking people questions if they are mid-mouthful.
  • If you are dining in a group, always put other people's needs before your own.

That means that when ever you are with people, and you look at the person either side of you, only one of you has a healthy self esteem. Only you know if that person is you!

Etiquette in Handling the Promotion Interview


Etiquette in Handling the Promotion Interview


Handling the promotion interview




• Plan your approach
Try to establish who will be on the interviewing panel. Take into account the personalities of these people when thinking through your interview approach.

• Prepare your materials
Write out on a note card the major issues which you wish to discuss during the interview. You can count on one question being asked of you at the end of the interview: Do you have any questions which you would like to ask?
Consult your note card or your memory at this point and raise any outstanding issues.
If your job is one where drawings, documents or other materials might be of interest and help, have them with you and think ahead how you might use these resources. Do you need a stand, projector or other equipment? If so, be certain that suitable provision is made beforehand.

• Perform as calmly as possible
If calmness under interview conditions is not your strong suit, then relax.
During the interview, do not feel you have to blurt out an instantaneous answer to each question. There is considerable advantage in pausing for a few seconds, pondering the issue and then responding. Silence can be a powerful tool for the calm, composed and confident interviewee.

• Ponder your strength and weaknesses following the interview
Acquiring effective interviewing skills is a matter of experience. Rather than breathe a sigh of relief and forget the whole grueling experience, go back to your work place and make some notes about your strong and weak points during the interview. Review these notes prior to succeeding interviews. 

Enjoy!
Smiles, Susie
