    Personality Development and Positive thinking

    While you are on your path to develop your personality, do it on a positive note and you will feel a world of a difference in the new you. Here are some techniques that can help you develop your personality and experience the effect of positivity in your life. Before you read on or do anything else, be happy with your present self and embrace yourself completely. Remember you are only one of a kind.

    Commit yourself
    For anything you plan to do, whether it is a job, writing a book or learning a new language you have to commit yourself to it. Commitment comes in the form of the doing the thing you want t do for a long period of time or very often. So if you want to be more positive you have to commit yourself to positivity. You have to start thinking positively and banish negative thoughts. Begin with your mind. Cleanse it. Since you are reading this commit yourself to personality development since personality does not star at the end of this article, any other course or book but it is an on-going process. So keep working on yourself. Remember, ‘the road to success is always under construction’.

    Focus
    Focus on the activity you are doing. True yoga is being one with the activity you are into at that moment. So if you are wearing clothes pay complete attention. If you are eating, do only that. Love your food completely. If you are washing vessels, be lost in the scrubbing. If you are talking to someone be present, don’t talk absent-mindedly. While you exercise, focus on the steps. Be one with your positive thoughts.

    Do not give up
    Never ever give up. Things can go wrong, mistakes happen and no one is flawless. So keep going. If you fall, rise and try again. Don’t let failures be a deterrent to your success. If you stop trying you put an end to your goal. But if you keep trying there are chances you will succeed. Do it with faith and believe in yourself. More than intelligence your persistence will take you places.

    Keep your ears and eyes open
    Always keep your eyes and ears open. Listen to what people say. Observe whatever is around you. Never give anything or anyone invisible treatment. Being alert helps you learn and keeps you informed. So if you are having a conversation with someone the next you know that you are in touch with your surroundings and can discuss anything under the sun. If you do not know something, say so. Asking questions that shows you have interest in the discussion and are listening.

    Love yourself
    If you are looking forward to develop your personality, the first thing you have to do is love yourself. Accept yourself. Accept everything that’s a part of you - your skin, your body, your ideas and everything else that makes you, you. Take care of yourself. Feed yourself and have a well- nourished body. Groom yourself and be well-dressed. Don’t forget to wear a smile. Be calm and relaxed. Mediate to calm down. Keep anger under check. Exercise regularly and engage in prayer. Accomplish your work and ear compliments.

    Personality development happens first from inside and then outside. So start treating your mind and body with special care. Develop positive thinking and turn into a new shining personality.

    Soft Skills Coordinates

    Welcome to Soft Skills Coordinates!!! We do many interesting things, mainly with soft skills. As a premier soft skills training institute, we offer candidates the coaching necessary to elevate those skills which add tangible value to their professional and personal lives. Candidates seeking employment add skills that are most desired by potential employers - for example, skills involving business communication, interviewing, problem solving, decision making, interpersonal communication and motivation necessary to work effectively in complex matrix organizations. Similarly, our corporate training courses are designed to help employed professionals rapidly adapt to performance and productivity driven work environments with confidence.

    Our passion includes sharing the secrets of success with our students and celebrating their growth. There is nothing more gratifying than watching students logically analyze problems they thought were almost impossible to resolve. Candidates visit our institute to explore guidance in remedying issues that hinder their personal and professional growth. Most of the times, it takes them only a few minutes to discover the real sources of such issues. But before we explain what we do in any further detail, it is worth the time to first understand what is meant by soft skills. This term is so widely used that we prefer to use the following scenario to illustrate the point.

    Soft Skills - A practical perspective

    In a globalized economy, and an accompanying shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service - and information-based one, employers place high emphasis not only on the educational qualifications of its workforce but also on the abilities of its employees to meet customer service expectations. The customer in question could even be another employee from within the organization. Let’s look at this a little closely.

    At a minimum, one would expect the employee to possess superior communication skills and behavioral etiquette. The employee should have the ability to quickly understand the customer’s request and provide a satisfactory resolution. An employee gifted with the mental processes to translate a task (customer request) into simple subtasks and one who can tackle each subtask through logical actions is very likely to achieve positive results. Ideally, organizations would only want to retain such employees. If you are an employee, you will be evaluated using certain yardsticks, for example, performance and productivity, the business you generate or the number of clients you bring in for the organization. These results are easily quantifiable. But what about those attributes that are harder to quantify - your ability to connect with the customer or your ability to deal with the customer professionally? How about the goodwill you generate? These attributes or skills fall in the soft skills category. Employers (and even individuals) are fast realizing that such attributes are basic imperatives for conducting business seamlessly with customers or audiences with markedly different cultural backgrounds. After all, regardless of where your customer belongs to, you want to establish lasting business relationships.

    It would not be an exaggeration to state that to evolve your personality one needs to constantly exercise soft skills. Your personality represents far more than physical appearance, confidence and communication style. It also includes key behavioral patterns such as moods, willingness to cooperate, body language, and stress-managing ability. Among the intellectual attributes, it involves the ability to identify problems and willingness to solve them.

    Our Mission

    At Soft Skills Coordinates - "The Personality Development Institute" - we understand how soft skills shape our personality. We coach students through a very comprehensive curriculum to equip them with the confidence and personality traits necessary to achieve results consistently. Our mission is to transform how our candidates approach and resolve a problem or situation, and prepare them with extremely essential problem analysis, decision making, and communication techniques necessary to succeed in their careers and personal life. These candidates aim higher and can compete at a global level.

    Curriculum Goals

    Due to the extensive corporate experience of our instructors, it is our endeavour that students at the completion of our curriculum are better placed at understanding the Do’s/Don’ts of their functional role and work environment. Through our coaching on a wide array of soft skills, our students will be more adaptable to working in a highly performance-driven and result-oriented environment. They will exceed their employer's expectations.

    Our curriculum is designed for both fresh graduates as well as experienced employees. However, we feel equally confident that these courses offer valuable guidance to almost anyone who wishes to improve their communication and problem solving abilities.

    Our courses are designed to meet the following goals:

    • Help candidates examine their goals with greater clarity, build focus, boost

    confidence

    • Demystify problem comprehension and problem solving
    • Explain how to solve complex problems; introduce the concept of

    establishing benchmarks for success, and tracking progress against

    desired results

    • Prepare students with the essential protocols of effective communication.

    A large component of this coaching includes classroom Q&A sessions, one-

    on-one discussions and comparisons of effective and ineffective

    communication habits

    • Illustrate personal attributes required to get hired, remain hired, and

    manage one’s career while simultaneously weathering personal or

    professional challenges

    • Analyze root causes of job stress, suggest remedial techniques and

    pointers to improve productivity

    • Leadership skills development and executive coaching
    • Illustrate effective writing and public speaking methods

    Located in Bangalore, India, it is our endeavor to serve students from diverse educational backgrounds.

    Target Audience

    Our coaching is intended for individuals with functional roles that involve problem solving, customer support, hospitality, and any other role that includes effective communication or mentoring. It is particularly beneficial for those with long-term goals of self-growth.

    Organizations that would benefit directly through our training are corporations involved in R&D towards developing innovative products; companies from the service industry; brand-conscious entities with a vision to build employees' core competencies to achieve strategic goals of raising overall standards, staying competitive and improving productivity; educational institutions seeking training for faculty or students; hotels and hospitals, to name a few.
