Be A People Person - What Draws Others To Me?

WHAT DRAWS OTHERS TO ME?
Understanding what people like about you and why


People Principles

- The key to developing charisma: Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are in making them feel good about you.

- Traits of a person with charisma;

Concern - What they show.
Help - What they offer.
Action - What they provide.
Results - What they produce.
Influence - What they do.
Sensitivity - What they follow.
Motivation - What they give.
Affirmation - What they share.

- Charisma is a trait or quality in our life that can be developed! The potential lies within each one of us.

Do you want to be a positive influence on others? Five factors come into play:

Who I am - my position or title.
Where I am - my location or job.
Who I know - my sphere of influence. People open doors of opportunity.
What I know - my expertise. This will keep in you in position long after who you know wears off.
What I do - my production, character, credibility.

Roadblocks to CHARISMA

- Pride
- Insecurity
- Moodiness
- Perfectionism
- Oversensitivity
- Negativism

Blast from the Past - Hand Shakes

After the CGBC Youth Camp 2010, you know what we did? We went back to Ipoh! That's right! Then during the subsequent weekends, there was an announcement during youth meeting in church. (January 15 2011)

The announcement was that Doreen will change her name to Esther. No-lah, just kidding.

It was some sort of a hand-over announcement thingy. (The writer was not so sure coz he wasn't there and he is kinda lazy to ask around of what happened).

L-R: Pastor, Queen and Dor.

Dor: Let the hand-shaking begin!

THE HAND SHAKES

U-Gene shows us how to do it. Carrie in the background follows. Ykit will do so in the next photo.

Ykit: Is this how you do it?

U-Gene: Nope. Watch carefully in the next photo.

U-Gene: Now this is how you do it! *shake*shake*rattle*roll*

Dor: Keep it up guys! I'm doing it too!

CEC and Holy Sister Cheng are able to start doing it.

But U-Gene is the best hand shaker in the ceremonial event.

That is why CEC, in this final photo, is clapping.

Oh waitaminute. They were CLAPPING hands ah? Eh, sorry I thought they were doing some special Kung-fu Invisible Fist of the North Eagle or something. My apologies.

Revolution: Testimony from Sam Y Lo! Episod Kedua

As part of the Recess Revo movement, our very own Sam Y Lo gave another testimony! Here here, check it out!

Simple Wishes :)

Hey again! School has been awesome so far! Excited for what is to come! :) Been seeing some of the CF members catching the vision! Praying for it to spread like wildfire!

Well it was Teacher's Day, but they never did have any real celebrations but just read-out from letters from the men in power from the education department during assembly due to the on going exams. The teachers looked like they couldn't be bothered by what was being read out to them. In my heart, i thought, man, they deserve better! So i decided that i would greet every teacher i see Happy Teacher's Day! So i did!
And guess what among all the teachers that i wished, ALL OF THEM had smiles plastered on their faces! Some were shock that there were actually people bothered to wish a teacher on teacher's day!
Though it was something small, but i believe that seeds were planted!

All glory and praise be unto God!
:)

Do YOU have a testimony? Or two? Or three?

Blast from the Past - Taiping Zoo!

On a fine hot Saturday some time this year, before today's date, a few of us monkeys youths took a trip to the Taiping Zoo!

Took the 10:30 train down town...

When the train conductor realized that none of us had paid for tickets, we had to take a walk.

Since some of us carried a camera, we decided to take a few pictures of some monkeys. Before that, we took a picture of a few humans first. (you thought I was referring to the above photo subjects as monkeys? never read finish one you...)

Now, this was the monkey I was referring to. His name is Mike, the Overweight Orangutan.

Since some of us carried a camera, we decided to take a few pictures of some monkeys. Before that, we took a picture of a few humans first. (you thought I was referring to the above photo subjects as monkeys? never read finish one you...) Oh, by the way, the one in the middle is called Mun-key.

They were happy. There were trees. And they were friends. HAPPY TREE FRIENDS.

"Hello, can I speak to [insert name of somebody from CGBC Youth here]?" asks Timothy.

Now, let's take a look at some of the memorable animals that we saw.

HippopoIliketoeatbananaspleasethrowsummoretamus.

The rhino saw us. (read fast fast)

Horses with stripes.


Which is the biggest elephant you see?

The slithery snakes refused to take pictures alone. So our youths teman them.

Kenneth: Ne-ga-ra-ku.... ta-nah...

Timothy: No, I'm camera-shy!

Monkeys. First friends, then I dun wanna friend you liao.

The White Swan, starring Natalie Portman. Apparently she is deaf and mute.

So our youths (+ 2 leaders) decided to clap hands to the swan, deaf and mute style. (true story) (note that the swan is in the background)

Since no feeding of monkeys were allowed, they decided to feed themselves.

We happened to know a friend who works there so they allowed us to take home two monkeys! Now they are part of our youth!

Be A People Person - What Draws Me To People?

WHAT DRAWS ME TO PEOPLE?
Understanding the qualities you enjoy in others

If you are a believer in Christ, then you need to be a people person. Jesus exhorts us to love one another (John 13:34). And Apostle John explains that if we truly love God, then we must love our brothers too.
(1 John 4:20-21)

People Principles

- Our success, fulfillment and happiness depends upon our ability to relate to people effectively.

- The key to relating to others is putting yourself in someone else's place instead of putting them in their place.

- Treat people the way you want to be treated:

  Encourage
  Appreciate
  Forgive
  Listen
  Understand

- See people as assets, not adversaries.

- The word "we" is the most important word in the English language.

Ask yourself:

1. Are you quick to respond to others' needs?


2. Do we run from problems or face them?


3. Do we talk more about bad news or good news?


4. Do we give people the benefit of the doubt, or do we assume the worst?

In the Dictionary:

The least important word:
I (gets the least amount done)

The most important word:
We (gets the most amount done) - relationships

The two most important words:
Thank you - appreciation

The three most important words:
All is forgiven - forgiveness

The four most important words:
What is your opinion? - listening

The five most important words:
You did a good job - encouragement

The six most important words:
I want to know you better - understanding
