Hi, I’m Arjun from Bangalore. I recently started a new job, and every time I meet someone, I feel like I’m not leaving the best first impression. It’s like I know they’re judging me in those first 7 seconds, and I’m not sure if I’m doing enough to make a positive impact. My body language is thoda awkward and sometimes I get nervous while speaking. Kya aap mujhe kuch tips de sakte ho, jisse main apna first impression improve kar sakoon?

Ans: Hi Arjun
You are giving an impression of being extra conscious.
We tend to overthink as to what others think/perceive about us.
The best way is to be your natural self rather than trying to be someone else. Yes we all have areas of improvement & we must continue to work towards self enhancement but it should be based upon your own honest introspection & not lead by what others think/feel, some random thoughts.
Feel free to ask about any specific area of self development that you feel the need to work upon.
All the Best !!

Hello madam, I have a question. I work in a bank as an officer. The problem that i feel i myself am having is i do not talk much or say the least at my workplace. For this reason people start misunderstanding me. But by nature i am introvert. Please help

Ans: If you are an introvert and wish to stay so, that is fine... every workplace has different personalities and that shouldn't be a reason for others to misunderstand you.

But if you do want to work on that aspect, you can do small exercises to help you work towards extroversion. You can consciously take initiative to speak up with colleagues over lunch or coffee breaks and build rapport with them. Think up a couple of topics in your mind beforehand so that you feel more prepared.

It does take a while to get out of your comfort zone but take small steps and you should be there.

I am a project manager in a tech company in Noida. Recently, I’ve been given the opportunity to lead important client meetings. Sometimes I struggle to project the confidence I feel inside. During interviews and meetings, I’m often told that my technical knowledge is strong, but I can’t help but feel like my body language doesn’t convey the same level of assurance. How can I work on my body language and expressions? Looking forward to your thoughts

Ans: Hey!!
Let me tell you as a body language and communications expert, that body language is a like learning any other language.
It needs to be learnt and practiced, it takes time and effort...
When you are technically strong and when your bosses have faith in you... then just go ahead , learn body language, practice it and project it .I say there are three ways of communication, Visual, Verbal and Vocal. What you say is important but how you say is also very important.
Learn body language from an expert and then project that winning image!!

I am btech graduate and have good industry IT experience in development in TCS with 15 lpa, but parents pressurized to take government job , and i got a government job of junior assistant at pay level 3 but i am not liking the job as there is no respect and our senior ask to fill the water bottle , i want to switch to IT for my future? Still i confused?

Ans: I am quite surprised - "our senior ask to fill the water bottle". Simply deny doing that. Do your work seriously for which you are paid. Give departmental exam for promotion. You can prepare yourself for Indian civil service exam. Do not leave Govt. job.

I am 58 + years old who retired from government service after working for 36 years. I had done M.E mechanical and worked in the marine field. I am a pensioner who is financially sound and with no liabilities. I have a good fitness routine in the morning as well as in the evening , however I find it difficult to pass my time in the day and want to make it meaningful. I am done with my existing skills and keen to learn some totally new concepts and acquire skills specially in areas such as sustainable energy specially green hydrogen, solar , ethanol blending , EV etc. I may like to become a consultant or maybe start my own small venture in future to keep myself busy. I am ready to devote ample time. If nothing works out atleast I would have acquired knowledge in areas which interest me. How do I go about acquiring the new skills.

Ans: The best way to acquire skill is to see NPTEL videos. Its free. If you want certificates then you have to give exam. Cost is very less. Normally professors from IITs teach these courses and you will get certificates from IITs.
