‘factory settings’, how we
are wired.

4. Character refers to our
acquired (or nurtured)
characteristics, our ‘custom
settings’, how we have
learned to deal with life since
we were born. Our
character is also the sum
of our virtues and vices.

• The process of
developing/improving/growing

6. Personality + Development
Personality Development =
Developing Self Awareness

7. • Self awareness is
developed through practices
in focusing your attention on
the details of your
personality and behavior.

8. IMPROVING YOUR
PERSONALITY
1. BE YOURSELF GOD
MADE YOU SPECIAL
• Don’t compare yourself with others
•You are special and was uniquely
created by God

9. 2. SMILE, GOD LOVES
YOU
• A smile is always in style
• When not sure what to do
nor say,
smile

10. SMILE  TIPS
1. Improve the look of your
smile
2. Smile for the right reasons
3. Make smiling part of
everyday life

11. 1. IMPROVING THE LOOK OF
YOUR SMILE
• Practice smiling a lot 
• Smiling with your eyes
(Duchenne smile) smize
•Maintain good oral
hygiene

12. • A study has shown that people who have
a Duchenne smile live the longest. People
with a Duchenne smile use their whole
face with their eyes crinkled. There are
also partial-Duchenne smiles and
• non-Duchenne smiles.

13. 2. SMILING FOR THE RIGHT
REASONS
• Make your smile genuine
Don't smile when you just aren't feeling
it. It will give others the impression that
you can't be trusted. It's ok not to smile
all day long.
Remember how it feels when you do
crack a genuine smile. Try to regain that
feeling each time you smile.

14. • Smile when you feel good. A
genuine smile comes from
being happy, positive, and from
drawing your feelings from the heart.
• Smile out of love. Think about
someone you care about (perhaps
the person standing in front of you as
you smile), or about something that
you genuinely love to do.

15. • Smile when you're
feeling playful.
Intense times can make us too
serious. See life as an adventure,
be gentle on yourself and allow
your inner child to play. Being
playful will bring a smile to
your face much more easily.

16. 3. MAKING SMILING A PART
OF EVERYDAY LIFE
• Smile when you normally wouldn't.
Have you been holding back your
smile out fear that it will make people
wonder about you? Smiles attract
attention, but it's the right kind of
attention. As you go about your day,
consider ways smiling can make
your world a more positive place.

17. • Expect smiling to be difficult in some
situations. Smiling on demand can be
difficult, whether it's for a photo or for the
sake of keeping mom happy when the
relatives you can't stand visit.
For a photo, smile 20 percent more than
you think you should.
Smile wide and show the top row of
teeth. Don't forget to use your eyes!

18. • Enjoy the many benefits of a
smile.
In order to want to smile, it
really helps to know what
benefits a smile can bring to
your day.

19. The following benefits are bound to
make you lean towards sharing a
grin with others most of the day:
• Smiles improve your appearance.

20. • Smiles make things right again
and say much more than
words can.

21. • Smiles create trust and
rapport.
• Smiles make you feel good.
• Smiles make other people feel
good

22. • Wrinkles are better when
they're smile lines rather
than frown lines.

23. • Smiling is a good long-term
predictor of happier life
outcomes.
It's correlated with
health, happiness,
friends, success,
and a longer life.

25. 3.THINK AND FEEL GOOD
ABOUT YOURSELF
•Build up your self-
esteem

26. Work on improving yourself!
Dress nicely. No one is more
conscious of your physical
appearance than you are. When
you look good, it changes
the way you carry
yourself and interact
with other people.

27. • Have good hygiene.
Take care of your
personal appearance.

28. • Practice good posture
Stand up straight, keep your head up, and
make eye contact. You'll make a positive
impression on others and instantly feel
more alert and empowered.

29. Think tall!

30. Sit properly!

33. Conversation Distance

34. Greeting each other

35. Facing the audience!
• Stand facing the audience with your
feet firmly on the floor
• Your feet should be shoulder-width
apart with your center of gravity in the
middle.
• Your knees should be slightly bent
rather than locked straight.
• This gives the impression of
firmness, security and balance.

36. 4. CLARITY AND CONVICTION
IN COMMUNICATION
Volume - to be heard.
Clarity - to be understood.
Variety - to add interest.

37. The Three Key Components of a
Powerful Sound
1.Personality
2.Passion
3.Strong vocal physique

38. The first two components areachieved by being yourselfand by being clear about yourintention. The third, throughawareness and practice.

39. 1. Personality
• Personality is “you” and the
unique gifts you share with
your audience. The essence of
who you are is in your voice
for all to hear.

40. 2. Passion
• Passion is the power of
intention aligned with
content and personality.

41. • Content is simply what you have
to say. It’s your message, your
words, your ideas manifested in
spoken form.
• Intention, on the other hand, is
what you have in mind to do or
bring about.
When intention, content and
personality align, we have passion.

42. 3. Strong Vocal Physique
“Speaking louder doesn’t create
a powerful voice.”
•Strong vocal physique is the ability
to produce a vibrantly resonant
sound and to have a good
command of
breathing technique.

43. Resonance is the reverberation
or repetition of sound in the
environment in which it was
created.
Lose Your Breath, Lose Your
Voice!
Breathing exercise

44. 5. SPREAD LOVE AND
HAPPINESS
This ability is anchored on our personal
relationship with God. We will only be able
to spread love and happiness if we are
secure and stable in our relationship with
the Maker and Shaper of our personality.
