Whether you are aware of it or not, your body movements clearly express your ATTITUDES and MOTIVES.  These simple body gestures, which most of us don't even notice, can COMMUNICATE key information that is invaluable in a variety of situations.  The Most Important thing in COMMUNICATION is hearing WHAT isn't said -Peter Drucker Whether in social, business, dating relationships, family meetings, gym, or at a grocery store people-watching always proves to be a fascinating experience. On many occasions, you probably found yourself wondering what the other person was thinking; the story behind a certain action, gesture, or facial expression.  When verbal and nonverbal messages conflict, it is often the case that the nonverbal gestures and expressions are more honest.  By a man's fingernails, by his jacket-sleeve, by his shoes, by his trouser's length, by his expression, bu his shirt-cuffs, by his movements, his smile- by each of these things a man is delivering a silen

  What has STYLE got to do with men? Why not, after all, men today are paying more attention to clothes, their grooming from their hair, skin, and nails. There are many well-dressed men today, though they may be still perplexed as to how much is sufficient when it comes to personal grooming due to the wide variety of brands and choices. Style is not a display of wealth, but an EXPRESSION of IMAGINATION -Anonymous Today, even in the midst of the pandemic with the majority of the company workforce still working from home (WFH), where business casual prevails, men's dressing and grooming continue to take a new twist. Ask a man who has the taste and dress with style and he will tell you that his fashion sense basically comes from his male icon either from movies or public figures. Or he may tell you that it basically comes from the sense of style from his dad, and the rest is an acquired skill that can be honed and improved with correct practice. Learning how to dress well is not

Changing your image and appearance can change your life. How does redefining your Personal Image do for your personal life and business? Image is power. It is not enough to be visible. To last is to succeed. Image has more value than reality. To last, the image must be built only on truths. Persona is the most effective weapon in your marketing war chest.    In reality, your Personal Image is more valuable than skills to any aspiring entrepreneur, salesperson, manager, or corporate officer.  Most failures are not due to a lack of talent, substance, or value. In our years of corporate background experiences, we have learned that many failing companies and without exception, they were quality offerings. They fail because they were invisible. In the world of marketing and branding, all ventures must present a targeted and focused persona to their prospective customers. Remember, it is far better to be a visible contender than an invisible champion. Is Image Everything? The culture o

No matter who we are, what we do, and what we're working on, everybody wants to know how to look good.  Let's admit that our society is fixated on our looks. And to be honest, knowing how to look good can open doors, it can help you win hearts and it can even help you to make a better career. It's ugly, but it is true.  Looking Good is about habits. Ask yourself why you want to look good? Make it a habit to do the basic things such as creating an exercise routine, knowing when to trim your beard (for men), eating healthy, and good skincare routine.  "Good personal appearance isn't dependent upon being beautiful according to the standards set by Hollywood or by the fashion designers. Good personal appearance isn't a matter of personal decoration. It's usually the person who is unsure of himself or herself who has to exaggerate and try to look like someone else".  All of us want to be attractive. Men and women. The problem is, "How shall I go

People use to think that certain personalities are lucky and are born with attractive personalities, while others are not.  Growing up, in the early years of our lives,  many of us encounter that the popular person is pleasant and cheerful, is thoughtful and considerate, is a good sport, interesting to talk to, has a sense of humour, has good manners , acts natural, is neat in appearance, or even good looking. Shy people might wish that they were more extroverted and spontaneous in initiating a conversation. Some hot-tempered friends we know might wish they could keep their cool in emotionally charged situations.  Image Credit: Unsplash by James Kovin Charming people exude confidence and perseverance, are articulate, with charisma, and more often hungry for new knowledge. They are also great listeners, and have cumulative qualities of ' The Image Factor '.  What is it about certain personalities that continue to inspire and attract others? As one evolves in their career, o

  Are you Being Too Nice? Are you always the nice guy or girl 24/7 public persona, take heed to the psychological stress lurking below that friendly surface. What does it mean to be nice? I recently had a client in my private coaching session tell me that she was tired of being nice to people, as she does not get the respect she deserves. Does kindness have a gender? Men and women are taught to think and talk about ethical issues in a different voice. In decades by default, men are perceived to be more of the natural leaders or abstract thinkers, and women socialized for social or domestic life and more about immediate connections. I think you will agree with me that society tends to give men and women different 'default settings' when it comes to ethical reasoning. We all have our own personal mountains to climb, and overcoming these life ventures allows us to progress to new ambitions. It goes without saying that scaling new heights can be a challenge, especially when t
