Some things come naturally to men and eventually prove very beneficial in the overall enhancement of their careers. When women see men chatting with their bosses about the latest golf score or a football match it appears to them as a waste of time. While they may actually appear to be whiling away time telling the boss that they share interests with each other and discussing various F1 strategies, they are actually building an influential professional network around them. What to do?

Career planning is a continuous process. Admittedly there is a need for building contacts, knowing people and the who’s who of important people in an organization but mentoring is equally important to see you through the hurdles that you face during the course of your career.

When we talk about hard work, the first maxim that comes to our mind is the popular sayings - ‘There is no substitute to hard work’. While there is no denying that hard work is essential, it does not really mean that there are no other elements that are important for success.
There is indeed no substitute to hard work but people don’t get promoted for working late nights and putting in extra hours alone. The mantra today is to ‘work smart’ and not just ‘work hard’.

People believe what they see and perceive all objects based on those perceptions. Those of us who have had some exposure into marketing will know the maxim ‘Perception is reality’. And in fact, it is! For someone looking at another, reality is the manner in which he perceives the other.
And which is why it is not surprising that managing your personal image is as important as managing brands for your companies. It is how you think and project yourself that creates impressions about you as a person. Your own brand is similar to any product. Just as you build an ongoing relationship with a product branded by a company, people view you according to how you position yourself before others.
