On 2ND Day of MOM, Ms. Sheela, a corporate trainer, conducted a session titled "Groom to Bloom," which was designed to address the grooming and personal etiquette essential for MBA students aiming for career success. This session was designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and insights to enhance their professional appearance and comportment, laying the groundwork for a successful career in the business world.
The session focused on two primary areas: personal grooming and professional etiquette. It provided a comprehensive overview of how proper grooming and etiquette can significantly impact professional interactions and career advancement.
The grooming segment of the session emphasized the importance of maintaining a polished and professional appearance. Participants were guided on various aspects of personal grooming, including appropriate dress codes, grooming habits, and personal hygiene. The session highlighted how a well-groomed appearance contributes to a positive first impression, which is crucial in professional settings such as interviews, networking events, and corporate meetings.
Key topics covered included selecting appropriate attire for different professional scenarios, ensuring that clothing is well-fitted and in good condition, and maintaining personal hygiene. Participants were advised on the significance of grooming details, such as neat hairstyles, clean nails, and subtle use of accessories, all of which contribute to a professional and polished look. The session also discussed the impact of grooming on self-confidence and how a good appearance can enhance an individual’s overall professional image.
In addition to grooming, the session highlighted the importance of personal etiquette. Professional etiquette encompasses a range of behaviours and manners that facilitate respectful and effective communication in a business environment. The session provided practical advice on various aspects of etiquette, including communication skills, dining manners, and networking protocols.
Participants were instructed on the importance of courteous communication, including appropriate verbal and non-verbal interactions.

The session also covered dining etiquette, advising on proper conduct during business meals and social events, which is essential for creating a favourable impression.
Networking protocols were another key focus, with participants learning how to make a memorable impression during professional networking events. Tips were provided on introducing oneself effectively, engaging in meaningful conversations, and following up with contacts to build and maintain professional relationships.
The guidance provided on grooming and etiquette will significantly benefit participants. By understanding and applying these principles, students are better equipped to make a positive impact in their professional interactions, ultimately contributing to their career success. The session underscored the importance of attention to detail in both appearance and behaviour, setting a high standard for professional excellence and paving the way for future achievements.
