With the Pizzazz Factor I strive to help you develop a powerful presence... the ability to make great first impressions and to leave lasting impressions.
I give you tools to improve your posture and I show you how to use your positive body language to make others feel totally comfortable in your presence.
I encourage you to look at yourself in a more positive light as to improve your overall self image. An improved self-esteem is what essentially greatly affects our relationships with others and can lead to enhancing all areas of your life - social, professional and personal
All these tools can help you on so many levels, but to be truly radiant and striking - you have to have a certain contentment with your self and your life. You need to feel happy from the inside out.
Happy and Healthy from the Inside Out
Now, let's face it - with all the hustle and bustle of life today, it is very difficult to find quiet "me- time". But it is important to also take some quiet time to do some self-searching. Time to get back to who you are - what your own essence is.
I recently got caught in the same trap that so many of us do... I got so caught up in the cut-throat business side of life that I woke up one morning and realized that I am not my happy self.
That was easy to fix though -
I sat down in the quiet of the early morning with my diary and started to write... I just wrote about nothing and everything and tried to remember what it is that really makes me tick - what makes me happy, and there it was... I remembered who I am and why I do what I do, why I make the choices I make.
Take some time for yourself and take a pen and paper and start to write. Write about who you are - write about the stuff you like about your self and remind your self who is the person under all the chores and responsibilities.
Remember the stuff that you are passionate about and see if you can find time in your week to fit at least one hour of that activity into your schedule.
Maybe you love to paint, or read fiction, or to dance or play an instrument. Maybe you love to knit or garden... what ever it is - don't let it disappear completely in the craziness of your life.
Rekindle the essence of you and incorporate your passions into every day if you can - if not every day, maybe just for at least one hour a week.
You will see that once you make a little time to come back to YOU, that is when you will find true contentment with the rest of your busy life and schedule.
Where there is true contentment and happiness, there is effortless radiance and beauty!
Kind regards
Vanessa Bader
P.S. I encourage you to consciously spend a little time with your self every day - even if it is only ten minutes.
Instantly look and feel younger
Tuesday, 09 June 2009
"Looking old (whatever age you pick) is in great part related to how we are able to move, or not move." - Paul D'Arezzo, M.D.
Here on the ship I see people every day that look much older than they actually are, and it is mainly because of the way they move. It seems their limbs have lost all mobility simply because they never bother to move their bodies. They walk without picking up their feet... they shuffle along. Most of them have fallen into the trap of living a very stagnant lifestyle. With all the luxuries of modern day living - who needs to do anything physical anymore?
Look and Feel Younger by moving more Energetically
When I talk about moving your body, I am not by any means referring to strenuous exercise, but simply moving your limbs in a natural way. Moving with energy and life can change everything. It can keep your body mobile as well as give you additional energy and love for living.
When you walk with long energetic strides and a good posture you immediately look much younger - and of course you feel younger at the same time. You will feel more energetic and you will feel like smiling. This alone and take years off your appearance!
If your daily job requires you to be seated or stand in one position for most of the day, it is very important that you find a few minutes during the day to move your limbs and also to be aware of your body-posture when you are in these stagnant positions all day.
In the Pizzazz Factor I show you some very simple to do exercises that will keep your body mobile and young looking. I show you how to condition your postural muscles and I practice with you how to walk so you look spectacularly energetic and young. Once you are more aware of this and you apply it to your everyday life, it will become habit so you don't even have to think about it anymore.
You will be amazed at the compliments and comments you will get from complete strangers. This new awareness of your posture and the way you move in general will improve your self-confidence in a way you would never imagine and you will instantly feel and look ten years younger!
Give it a try - You can also have the Pizzazz Factor, it is simpler than you think!
To energy, youth and love for life!
Love and regards
Vanessa Bader
P.S. When you have the Pizzazz Factor, you will instantly look and feel younger and your self-confidence will shoot through the roof because of all the positive feedback you will get from everyone you come in contact with!
Feel free to share your thoughts on the subject with me by commenting on my post... I welcome your input :)
Attract Success in your Life
Wednesday, 27 May 2009
When it comes to being the ultimate, optimal person that you can be, you have to first realize that it is totally within your grasp. You have to know that it is within your ability and power to be that person. You have to believe in yourself.
Concentrate on the solutions, not the Problems
A lot of us spend most of our time thinking about and agonizing over the things we think we can’t do. We ponder on our “failures”. Remember, that whatever it is you spend most of your time thinking about, that is precisely what you are attracting into your life - more of just that. So focus on the negative and you will attract more negative.
In other words, the more you torture yourself over your failures or mistakes, the more you invite and recreate those in your daily life.
Remember that you are not your mistakes, your ‘failures’ are there to steer you towards success. Mistakes are made so that they can be learned from. Use them to guide you as to what not to do next time, and start concentrating on what is the right course of action to steer away from that mistake.
So now by concentrating on the solutions, you are thinking about the positive, you are thinking about what you want, and you are attracting what you want. You are literally pulling the positive into your life, into your reality.
Be a failure breaker - not maker…
If being a magnetic, charismatic, attractive and energetic person is what you want – start thinking about that. Start PICTURING yourself in that way, and you have taken the most important step. That is the first thing you have to do to get Pizzazz.
The Pizzazz Factor will take you the rest of the way. Once you have Pizzazz there is no stopping you, no limit to the person you can be and the things you can achieve!
Believe in yourself – You have the Power!
Kind Regards

Don't take it so personally
Monday, 18 May 2009
It is true that some people are more sensitive than others. Some of us handle rejection really well, and some of us have very thick skins and manage to just shake it off.
Nobody likes rejection, and believe me, I know all about that. Being a dancer and going through audition after audition, I am very familiar with the pain of rejection. Those moments when you look at yourself and you go: "what did I do wrong... what is wrong with me, or why didn't they like me?"
When you go for a job interview, an audition or meet someone special and you get rejected, you don't get the call, or a second date - the first thing you do is look at yourself and look for the flaws in you. You beat yourself up because you are not "good enough".
This is when you need to remember that the problem is not necessarily with you. We all tend to take rejection very personally. But maybe it just isn't the right time, the right job or the right person for you. Nine out of ten times that becomes clear a little further down the road when we have a chance to look back and be objective.
This old saying might be a cliché but I believe it is true: When one door closes another one opens. It is very important that you remind yourself of this when you are feeling down in the dumps, when it seems like a mountain is resting on your shoulders and there is no way out.
It is important to be brave, get up and try again... keep moving forward. When you learn to not take rejection so seriously and so personally, you will see how much easier life gets.
Then it is easier to smile, to radiate and to have Pizzazz. Part of having the Pizzazz Factor? is to be able to look at the bigger picture and be a happier, more content person. When you find that peace within yourself, that knowing that rejection is temporary, everything becomes a little easier.
When you fall down, get up, dust off, and move forward! Try to have fun and remember that there is always something or someone else out there that is the perfect match for you, and if you keep moving forward, you will soon find it!
Kind regards

You are in Charge
Saturday, 18 April 2009
Self-image is exactly what the word says - the image you have in your mind of yourself. Your own perception of yourself. If only we can create our own self-image, and not arrive at some conclusion from external sources - which is what we all so often seem to do.
We tend to take all the stimuli around us - comments from strangers, pictures in magazines and images in movies and we draw our own conclusions on our self-image from that. The only problem is - now it is not self-image at all anymore.... It is someone else's idea of what your image should be and that you made personal and are now trying to adopt.
The truth is that you are your self-image and you can create a more positive self-image by starting with the little things like smiling at yourself in the mirror every morning.
Concentrate on the good things about yourself and build on that. In today's society we put way too much emphasis on the negative.
People will see you as you see yourself.
If you see yourself as someone who is 6 feet tall and very powerful - that is what others will see, but if you see yourself as someone who feels terribly insecure and inadequate - that is how you'll be perceived by every one you come in contact with.
By obtaining the Pizzazz Factor, you will be able to feel confident about yourself and the image you project. The art of Presence, Poise and Posture will be at your fingertips... and you'll instantly feel empowered and in control of your own image and your own life!
You have the power to be anything and anyone you want to be. So take charge of your own self-image today.
Kind Regards
Vanessa Bader
P.S. The Pizzazz Factor show you the easy way to a New YOU! Re-invent yourself... a great self image creates fantastic self confidence and attitude - a recipe for success. Start today and get Pizzazz!
Flaunt What You've Got - You have the power!!
Surprize Yourself
Friday, 03 April 2009
We are often very quick to say, "I can't". Even before we have tried. We let our doubts in ourselves get the better of us. We do that don't we - doubt ourselves.
Well, now is the time to stop. A positive attitude will take you much further than you could ever imagine.
When you catch yourself saying "I can't" or even "I'll try", stop right there. Take a moment and say "I will and I can".
You are way too quick to under estimate your abilities. At least give it a good go - if for some reason it then doesn't work one hundred percent, then do your best. Nine out of ten times you will find out that you are capable of doing things that you never thought possible in your wildest dreams.
You have nothing to lose, right. The Pizzazz Factor gives you the tools to feel confident in yourself and your abilities. Your ability to impress and be adored and respected by others.
People are extremely attracted to anyone who has a positive self-image. They are immediately drawn to someone with self-confidence and an affirmative, positively assertive attitude.
Additionally, you are much more likely to be a great success at everything you do if you approach it with that "I will and I can " attitude. Give yourself a fighting chance; don't give up before you have even tried - you will find out that most things are totally within your ability.
Get Pizzazz, be positive and give yourself the fair chance you deserve!
You might surprise yourself... and everyone else around you!
You have the Power!
P.S. Please feel free to leave your comments! :)
Be True to Yourself
Saturday, 21 March 2009
We get sucked into the routine of humdrum life so quickly. Everyday routine becomes the norm, not only in our jobs but also in our personal lives. We do our best to keep those around us happy.
We get told from a young age to look out for others, treat your neighbor as you want to be treated and make the people around you happy at all costs. That is what makes you a good person.
Even in the Pizzazz Factor I encourage you to make the people that you are in contact with every day feel good about themselves.
It is a great rule to live by... care for others, care about their happiness and be gracious and abundant with your love and compassion. If everyone could do that more consistently the world would be a much better place... But what is the best way to do that?
There is an important detail missing here.
Make sure you remember to look after yourself too. There is a fine line between making others happy and doing so at the cost of your own health and happiness.
The most important thing to remember is to be true to yourself and your own feelings. This simple sounding task is often much easier said than done. Sometimes we lose sight of our own goals and needs in the midst of loving and caring for others.
The truth is that if you don't take care of yourself first, then you can't give your best to others because then you don't have that much to give. Be true to your feelings and your goals first so that you can be there in an even greater capacity for those that you love and care for.
"The most loving person is the person who is self-centered" - Neale Donald Walsch
This seems like a radical statement, but not if you look at it carefully.
Taking time for yourself - By that I mean taking time to take care of yourself whether it mean a vacation, alone time away, a facial or massage, or a seminar or course for self-improvement, or even just reading; even keeping sight of your goals and dreams and going after them; anything you do for yourself - this can feel like a very selfish act if you feel like someone else needs you to be around.
But you need to look at the bigger picture. Is it not true that you will be able to give those around you more of yourself once you feel secure and happy within your own heart and soul?
So you are in fact not being selfish, but totally unselfish because now, once you have taken care of yourself and you have accepted yourself and you love yourself, now you have greater capacity to take care of others, accept others and love others.
So my message to you today is - Be true to yourself, be true to your own feelings and needs and stand up for what you want, because that way you can be there in a much greater capacity for your family, friends and colleagues. You will have more to give!
Kind regards
Vanessa Bader

Compliment Yourself
Wednesday, 04 March 2009
You know the bad habit all too well. The one where you go and stand in front of the mirror and criticize yourself. You have a daily routine, your morning rituals, and all too often part of that is consciously or subconsciously picking yourself apart.
You have to stop doing that! That creates unbelievable negativity in your life and psyche. In order to nurture your self-confidence you have to consciously start finding the things about you that you like. No, don't resist... don't say there's nothing - find something.
You have to start concentrating on the positive traits that you have. Whether it be personality or physical traits, you have to start putting your energy into the good things in your life.
You are the only one that can lay the foundation for that powerful presence you want to have. You can literally change your whole life around by just starting with this one small thing every morning.
Start off by finding just one or two things about yourself that you like, use that as your foundation and build on that. Before you know it you'll have a whole list you can draw from. This can help you immensely when you are in a situation where you are feeling insecure or intimidated.
The way you see yourself can most certainly have a HUGE impact on the way other people see you.
The Pizzazz Factor will help you reach your full Potential. The Pizzazz Factor is a system that will take you through the steps of creating a new, more confidant, charismatic you. The person that you deserve to be.
You Have the Power!
Kind regards
Vanessa Bader
