We encourage you to follow a few simple steps and put the soft skill of empathy at work to effective use. As an employee of an organization, you always need to work in a team environment. Empathy at work arouses of the fact that you need to understand the emotion of the person working alongside you. He or she might be your colleague and you always need to think beyond yourself to emerge successful in  adopting this particular soft skill.

1.       Put aside your view point, and try to see things from the other person's point of view
When you do this, you will realize that other people most likely aren't being evil, unkind, stubborn, or unreasonable – they are  probably just reacting to the situation with the knowledge they have.

2.       Validate the other person's perspective
Once you "see" why others believe what they believe, acknowledge it.  Always remember that acknowledgement does not always equal agreement. You can accept that people have different opinions from your own, and that they may have good reason to hold those opinions for a long period of time.

3.       Examine your attitude
Are you more concerned with getting your way, winning, or being right? Or is your priority to find a solution, build relationships, and accept others? Without an open mind and attitude, you probably would not have enough room for empathy.

 We at Image Shoppe always encourage you to adopt the soft skill of empathy at work and cross all the barriers which come your way.
  

Fashion Tips For A Cool Breezy Monsoon

Alright, rain finally hits India and you don’t want a messy monsoon. Right? Although, you are relieved from the scorching rise in mercury but it is the trickiest time in terms of dressing fashionably. However, this blog will prove it a myth by putting forth some awesome tips that promises both comfort and style. All you need is to hold the right attitude to carry yourself perfectly.

There are a lot of factors that determine how smart you are with respect to the clothes you choose to drape. These days, people judge by the brands you wear because it acts as an eye-catching statement to create the first impression. Thus, to enhance your first impression, follow the below mentioned monsoon fashion tips.

 Denims can do wonders if chosen correctly-

Classic and comfy, denims are a popular choice both for men and women in a drenching monsoon day. What’s essential is the right fit of your jeans. The month of July-August marks a high humidity in the air that leads to sweating. Thus, it is advised to avoid draping straight fitted or too fitted denims as they tend to stick to your skin causing irritation. Such outfits can be quite uncomfortable particularly if you get drenched in the rain.

‘Color’ something that shouldn’t be ignored when it comes to denims. No matter how much you care your light blue faded jeans, you cannot help it get stained due to the muddy puddles and water everywhere. Therefore, light colored jeans are just a No for this season. Instead you can opt for dark colored denims which are a perfect choice indeed.

Feel like a breeze! Put on those loose Tees-

Light and comfy loose fitting bright colored opaque Tees are a must have in your monsoon wardrobe. This type of clothes is recommended because they are not only breathable but also dries easily. Opt for the comfortable tees with funky prints in vibrant shades to complement a gloomy rainy day. Ideal for style-conscious teenagers as well as happy go lucky individuals, these can be best paired with the above mentioned denims. A getup that is good to go in the rain.

Raincoats with cool colors are also a good choice to look fashionable for the monsoon months.

Short western outfits- A more comfy approach to monsoon

Invest in short western outfits such as skirts, knee length harem pants and shorts. They act as a savior on a wet humid day. You can also go for ankle or three fourth length colorful silk pants and play suits in case you do not prefer to expose your legs too much.

Feel light, go with the bright-

Always go for bright coloured fabrics that are light in weight and hence can dry off easily. Frocks, maxi dresses and knee length gowns can be the perfect monsoon wears. Avoid light colours that get dirty easily. Say ‘No’ to tight fitting dresses as they will make your movements stiff and uncomfortable. Prefer a knee-length dress of your favourite colour. Sometimes you just have to shove off your summer brights in favor of a deeper color.

A black dress does not always mean dreary; in fact, whether you like it or not, your LBD will never be out of fashion. All thanks to Coco Chanel, LBD first appeared in 1926, and it has been the ultimate fashion staple since then.

Frizzy hair? No worries! Follow some homemade remedies-

Monsoon steals moisture from your hair making it frizzy and unmanageable. Try some easy and effective homemade remedies for a smooth and silky feel. Apply a paste of two bananas mixed with honey for about an hour. This will help to moisturize your hair and keep it soft. You may also apply lemon juice on your scalp for 15 minutes and then wash it off. This ensures an oil-free scalp. Aloe Vera gel is ideal for treating dandruff, split ends and hair fall in this season as it restores the pH balance. Reduced hair bacteria and relieves scalp itching.
