From engineers to politicians

From engineers to politicians, everyone’s signing up for finishing schools!

These finishing touches are not only relevant to corporate houses and executives, even school students, renowned politicians and our much-loved sports as well as film personalities opt for courses such as Impression Management and Corporate Finesse. Just short of elections, several politicians enrol for private sessions in order to improve their image and add class to their portfolios. Most students are not open about their opting for these sessions though, and exact names of the students are usually kept confidential.

Understanding the psychology of a person and inferring why a person behaves in a certain manner is essential in order to correct undesirable mannerisms. Psychology is an integral part of personality grooming and Ms. Warrick says, “Just because some people are page three personalities, it doesn’t mean they can open a finishing school. You can’t be an engineer without attending school. Similarly, you can’t be in a finishing school without going through the grind yourself. You need to be certified, and lastly it is essential to be bilingual.”

It was once said that “no one is perfect… that’s why pencils have erasers.” But on the contrary, pencils also have sharpeners, which help us to write better and neater. Character building and personality development begin from childhood and continue until our death. “It’s beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.” And if until now you don’t know how to greet a woman or raise a toast… then the goblet of knowledge is indeed empty my friend...!
