6. “Because I am a woman, I must make
unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no
one will say, she doesn't have what it
takes. They will say, women don't have
what it takes."
-Clare Boothe Luce

7. The Feminine Advantage
While women have come a long way in the
workplace over the years, there's still a
perception among many female workers that
the top office is a man's world, and in order to
succeed in that world, they need to emulate
men.
What do you think?

8. How well do you know yourself?
 Do you know the brand called YOU?

9. The Authentic self
When you're asked, "Who are you?" what is your
answer?
 Is it what you do, what your social station is, or how
you see your function in life.

10. The Authentic self
The authentic self is the you that can be found at
your absolute core. It is the part of you not defined
by your job, function or role. It is the composite of all
your skills, talents and wisdom. It is all of the things
that are uniquely yours and need expression, rather
than what you believe you are supposed to be and
do.

It’s what makes you stand out in a world where standards and
quality differ
Your brand is deeply routed in your authentic personal identity

Your values, and beliefs that are visibly expressed by what you
say and do – and how you do it!

20. How is the CHRIST brand reflecting through
you?
Representing Christ means we are committed to the
task of bringing or presenting Christ to others (2
Corinthians 5:19-20).
Representing Christ in the workplace typically takes
either a verbal or nonverbal expression
 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost
his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is
thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and
to be trodden under foot of men.

21. How is the CHRIST brand reflecting through
you?
There Are Four Types of Christians. Which one are
you?
Christian who is simply trying to survive.
Christian who is living by Christian principles.
Christian who is living by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Christian who is transforming their workplace for
Christ.

22. Representing Christ in the Workplace
1. Be joyful
Joy transcends emotion; it’s rooted in the hope we have
in Christ and the knowledge that his faithfulness is
constant and enduring. Within this context, we are
able to better live in the present moment and
dispense with the anxieties that come from focusing
too much on either the past or the future
2. Strive for excellence
Who do you work for? Ultimately, it’s not just a
company, a boss or even your family. We all work for
the Lord. So that carries with it a responsibility — we
should always do our best in human terms.

23. Representing Christ in the Workplace
3. Support others
If your work involves other human beings there are people
around you experiencing difficulties. Although we can’t fix
everything, we can often be sources of support and
encouragement — quietly and unobtrusively. This can be
as simple as an understanding smile, willingness to listen
patiently for a couple minutes during a busy day, or an
encouraging word
4. Forgive
If you’re interested in workplace evangelization, there are few
ways more authentic than through forgiveness. Forgiveness
is frequently necessary in the workplace, and as Christians
we need to ask for it and receive it. The words “I’m sorry” are
among the most powerful we can use, and when it’s our turn
to forgive, we’re called to do it from the heart.

24. Representing Christ in the Workplace
5. Be grateful
Gratitude is a powerful aspect of our faith. We can use it in
unlikely circumstances, too.
6. Be humble
There are no limits to the benefits of humility in the
workplace. In fact, if we want strong teams, we need to play
off the strengths of others, rather than their weaknesses.
This requires humility, because we’re recognizing that our
own skill set isn’t the be-all and end-all.
7. Pray
Perhaps the best thing we can do is pray for others we
encounter in our work. Let’s resolve to approach our daily
work as a means of loving God, our neighbour or co-worker,
and effectively serving our employer

25. Representing Christ in the Workplace
8. Treat others with respect. The highest value of the
Christian faith is love. That doesn't mean you go around
hugging people, it means you treat them with respect,
value their opinions, treat them like you'd want to be
treated.
9. Get clear on your core beliefs. One of the most
fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith is that each
ordinary believer represents the faith. This means that
you have to do your job with integrity. That means being
honest, even if it costs you something.

26. The 4C’s of etiquette
 Courtesy – listening over talking, not interrupting. Using
phrases such as “Please”, “Thank you”, and “Pardon me”
 Consideration – acknowledging other people with whom
you share space. Involves keeping the office bearable to
work in
 Camaraderie – thinking of yourself as a team player vs
constant self promotion
 Class – concerns demeanor, being pleasant and doing
your best to please regardless

28. What is a lady?
A well-mannered and considerate woman with high
standards of proper behavior.
28

29.  Be charming. A true lady doesn't just sit there quietly and let the
world pass her by. She engages with other people, carries
stimulating conversations
 Don't use profanity, overeat or drink excessively. Being a lady
requires having self-control and will power
 Be respectful when visiting others‘ spaces. When you are a guest
in somebody else's office/home, allow the host/hostess to tell you
where to sit, where to leave your purse, whether or not to take off
your shoes,etc.
 Hold the door open for others.
 Stay calm, cool, and collected. Avoiding lashing out at others if you
are annoyed, angry, or upset. Remain poised, and handle the
situation rationally and calmly.

36. What does your
Career Path look like?

37. How do you define Career
Success?
 Career success begins with clarity of purpose and
direction. It means different things to different people
 If you cannot define what makes a successful career
means to you, how can you know if you are happy
where you are in your career right now, if you’ve never
defined what career success means to you?
 A recent research study revealed that men and women
no longer define career success by the amount of money
they make, but rather that work-life balance is the key
determinant on whether or not they have a successful
career.

41. Role Model, Coach or Mentor?
 Making the right choice will determine your
interaction with the individual.
 A role model is an individual in which the behaviour
is observed from a distance.
 A mentor is someone that the individual works with
on a fairly regular basis. It involves observing the
mentor but also includes the opportunity for
discussion, evaluation and progress through 2-way
communication between the mentor and the
mentee.
 The individual and their coach on the other hand
have a task based relationship. A coach looks at you
work and gives you advice on how to improve your
results

42. Who is in your Social Circle?

43. What is standing in the way of your Significant
life?
 The biggest barrier to having both success and
significance is not talent, resources, or even
character. It’s all about your mindset. More
specifically, it’s about how you think about yourself.

44. On which level of existence are you?
Survival,
Success
or Significance?
What are you going to Stop, Start &
Continue?
