Introverts are Charismatic Communicators

/in /by

Introverts are a misread lot. They are underrated, overlooked, and even misjudged. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO explains, “Since they are introspective and possibly withdrawn, they are easily regarded as weak and passive.  Yet many introverts like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Steven Spielberg, and J.K. Rowling have proven their detractors wrong by exceling in their own fields.  Viesca explains, “Many outgrow the passivity. Indeed, there lies latent energy in the introvert that can be harnessed for charisma that may be summoned with the right drive, knowledge, and passion.”

Viesca explains further, “Also, there is a third personality type – the ambivert which is the cross between introversion and extroversion. This is a balanced blend with a flexible communication pattern of speaking and listening that lends itself well to business. Most people belong to this balanced group, enjoying some traits of introversion with moments of extroversion.”

Whatever your personality type, the right program and motivation will encourage you to be the best version of yourself.  TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified corporate training facility that is accredited with the Civil Service Commission, helps professional make that leap and experience the difference.

“An individual’s self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change. A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life.” – Dr. Joyce Brothers

Somepeople have the innate ability to inspire and lead. It is called “charisma,” that quality that gives one a magnetic personality. Sheila VIesca, TalkShop CEO informs, “Charisma, like good manners, can be learned. It is all about being positive, enthusiastic, and interested in others.”
Is one born with charisma? Can it be learned? How does one work at it? Viesca shares, “Like good manners, charisma can be learned. This is akin to learning leadership skills that one hones with exposure.” She shares the qualities of a charismatic person that makes him outstanding:

How do You Listen?

/in /by

ID-100245367

Listening is mostly taken for granted. In the course of a busy day, managers and workers talk in a hurry, listen passively, and pore over tasks cursorily to get the work done.

Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO, notes, “The result often backfires with communication buckling down since no one took the time to listen. Listening does require making the effort, not only to hear the words, but to understand, taking into consideration the context.”

A good leader knows that listening is the best way to win over his team. He asks questions to get information, to win their respect, connect and build the relationship.

Viesca sums up, “Show your people that you value them by making time to listen and understand their needs. This practice makes for an inspired, motivated team that will commit to your leadership. ”

TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility accredited with the Civil Service Commission trains professionals and teams on the art of   leading with the heart.

The 3 Essential Benefits of Reading

/in /by

ID-100103858

Book lovers revel in the simple pleasures of reading. But there is more to reading than just being updated with the latest from one’s favorite authors and references. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO shares, “While it is good to choose from different genre, fiction and the classics are the best reads because they offer depth.”
She shares the little known benefits of reading good books:
1. Reading sharpens the brain. One gets so engrossed in reading that he invariably becomes part of the story, experiencing scenes as they unfold. This experience activates and develops the brain.
2. Reading teaches psychology. It exposes one to various experiences. One gets immersed and learns from the process. Besides acquiring knowledge, one learns to deal better with life.
3. Reading improves one’s ability to empathize. Learning about various life experiences through reading helps one empathize and thus, enrich relationships.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” ― Charles William Eliot

TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility that is accredited with the Civil Service Commission trains aspiring and seasoned writers of prose, poetry, and stories.
