What makes you unique makes you successful

The World of Work Training has made me realize that each individual being is a personal services brand. Whatever we master increases the value of our personal brands. In life greatness and success are never accidental. The acquisition of self-improvement techniques is a deliberate process that needs commitment and determination. This was affirmed through the presentation we had today on writing and presentation skills presented by Elspeth Kempe and Des Patel respectively.

In the presentations, it came out strongly that, what separates people is never genetics, good breeding or some social advantage. Instead, what separates people is their level of commitment to self improvement and excellence. We had the opportunity to do prompt presentations on topics of choice with an imaginary audience. As luck favours the prepared mind, it was really a challenging learning encounter that required practice and preparation.

The following site has useful personal marketing presentation statements, perhaps you may have a look at it.http://www.your-career-change.com/personal-marketing.html

Maxwell, definitely true.
As you illustrated very well during your presentation today, your own individuality and uniqueness are the weapons that you should use to implement yourself successfully at the work-place and in life, in general.
I have also kept on emphasizing this throughout my blogs and also throughout my presentation today. However, one should be also willing to accept other peoples' cultures and learn whatever it could be useful and necessary for them.
What do you think?
