Abstract

This paper examines personal effectiveness through traits such as consistency, thankfulness, saying sorry, pleading, and taking criticisms, intuition and emotions. Consistency allows for sustained understanding. Every business is a relationship business, and civility is an important part of a relationship. Saying please, thank you and sorry conveys civility and personal dignity. Effective criticism is never personal or judgmental. Intuition, which is much deeper than a single idea, tests an idea through an experiment, which is real-life experience. Coming to emotions they are affected by thoughts which can be turned from negative to positive. In a nutshell-work hard, stay focused and move on... up.

Introduction

Consistency
Consistency Is Critical
Imagine walking into a restaurant on three different occasions.

The first time the entire restaurant was set up like an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. They only sold desserts. Two weeks later you walk in and it's a fine-dining steak restaurant. And two weeks after that it's an all-you-can-eat Italian buffet restaurant.

You are hesitant to recommend the restaurant to anyone because you have no idea what that person would get when he or she actually showed up.

The same is true with you. If you act like a chameleon and change who you are depending on who walks into the room, people won't be able to recommend you for anything because they don't know what they are recommending.
