How to "HIGHLIGHT" yourself

Question : How do you "highlight" yourself?

You ask a dozen of people, definitely you'll get a dozen different answers. Highlighting yourself well, in other words - you have to sell yourself. Wonder why you should do this?

Easy - by doing by SELLING yourself RIGHT, there are many advantages to you. No matter whether you are an executive, clerk, salesman, even a gargabe collector, there are advantages. Just think about it - by doing it right you can get people to follow your lead, trust you, love/like you or even adore you. Imagine what advantage that will give you.

So the hardest question - How do you do it right?

Personally, I think there is only one common answer to all answers given. It is Public Relation - I call it the 3Ps (nope, it's not the marketing 4Ps) - i.e. personal pleasant personality.

Here's what you can do when interacting with other people -

1) SMILE - yes, it's the most simplest mode of getting people to notice how nice you are. Smiling is contagious, but remember do it sincerely.

2) Always think POSITIVE about the person you are interacting with - hence when you see their POSITIVENESS (regardless of whether they are complaining, whining etc) - automatically you will SMILE and vise versa. Simple, eh?

3) Don't BOAST yourself - regardless whether you are a PHD holder or a CEO of a multinational company - just be MODEST.

4) Be CONSIDERATE to the person you interact with, no matter who they are. How you treat that person will actually show your inner self - especially to those person of lower ranks of you or those people who 'don't read good'.

5) Withhold your opinions and ideas on sensitive issues - yep, this is very important as if you start to show your smartness, people will just block you off. Rather, you just listen and try to understand their point of view. This way you will be able to avoid potential arguements, making it much easier for you to convince people with your ideas. Easy, right?

Use these 5 guidelines in your daily life and you will see the differences on how people will look and interact with you. Start practising & good luck.

Cheers.
