Week 6-I Got A New Way to Walk

       This weeks theme focused on dressing for success and being confident in the
way you carry yourself.

 On Monday, we had a workshop entitled I got a new way to walk. It was about marketing
yourself and dressing for success. We got more tips on how to present ourselves using our
KSAs (knowledge, skills and abilities), which was something new I learned and I believe
will come useful when I have to interview for other jobs and writing cover letters.

      This week at work I continued working on the promotion from last week, and again I
learned a lot of new things from just reading up on the internet. I refined my plan for the
promotion and I worked with the operations manager to come up with ideas for the Instagram
page. I also got to present my promotion plan to the the managing director, Mr Watson which
was a bit nerve racking but it turned out well.

      On Friday, we had a really thought provoking chat with Ms Nikele Davis and she was
really inspiring. I really enjoyed that chat. What I like most about the workshops are how engaging
they are, the guest speakers don't just come to just speak at us, but its a lot like a conversation.
We went more into marketing ourselves and the different techniques of how to go about it such
as qualifications, dress and work completed. Then we spoke to image consultant Mrs Melinda Belle
and she shared with us how to get rid of trash such as the negative thoughts we have about

ourselves and the negative things people said to us. And after the day I was having, I can truly say
that that exercise really helped me to let go of some stuff I was holding onto.

      All in all, this was a really good week for me, now we're coming down to the last two weeks of
the programme and I can't wait for what's in store.
