Book SynopsisCreating Positive Images: A Guide for Young People is important for young adults who want to be successful in personal and professional life. Patsy Johnson Hallman explains how the value of being able to project a positive self-image is three-fold. First, making a good impression gives us confidence. And with confidence, we are more comfortable, and life is more satisfying than when we are lacking confidence. Second, when we project a positive self-image we are more likely to get the response we want from other people. This is true, because in general, people respond positively if they are approached positively. And third, as individuals, we are more productive when we are positive.In Creating Positive Images, Hallman provides information that can be useful to young people who want to build skills for social interaction. Features: A discussion on how one presents oneself in a positive manner: Ways one interacts successfully with people in a wide range of social and professional situations. This book was written to assist pre-professionals and new professionals in conducting themselves for optimum success.
