PROFESSIONAL IMAGE MANAGEMENT & PERSONALITY ENHANCEMENT

 

 

        

 

Foreword:

Personality is foremost in the field of human interaction and especially very important in establishing the professional advantage in the challenging business field. Success indeed relies more on personality & attitude than just qualifications, status, knowledge & skills. Customers may be too quick to judge others, and the consequences can be quite damaging. A survey done by the Carnegie Institute affirms that 80% of success comes from personality. Yes, and only 20% comes from knowledge & skills. This course is intent on providing the personality grooming awareness and techniques to reflect a better you.
