Consistency Wins Crowns

There is no singular tried and true formula for wining the crown. I’ve heard it said a million times, “a different night, a different girl”. Every panel of judges carries diverse life experiences, opinions, and taste. This makes for an interesting pageant for everyone involved…on and off the stage. However, there is one thing that should never change… You.


Leveraging Consistency to Win the Pageant Crown

Consistency should be the cornerstone of your competition. The world is always turning, so your aim should be to give your judges panel something solid to hold on to. A consistent competition starts with you knowing who you really are and what your true goal is in pageantry. Here is why pageant judges love a steady girl:
1. The Ring of Truth:
it’s a hard sell when you are selling a packet of lies. Be true to yourself because not only are you completely unique, but pageant judges love to see someone who has her head and more importantly her heart in the game of life and pageantry.
2. Slow and Steady Wins the Race:
We have the tendency to play only to our strong suits. However, a one trick pony is going to be the victor. You might sing like Whitney Houston, but if you lag behind in the other categories your singing ability will not be enough to win. A contestant with a fitting pageant song, great interview, and a great presence will net the points necessary to win the crown. Prepare across the board.
3. Aristotle is right!
He stated, “We are what we repeatedly do; therefore excellence is not an act, but a habit.” You most be in the habit of doing things in a way that warrants the title of excellence. When you fill out your pageant paperwork. Be excellent. When you walk into a room. Be excellent. Do everything in pageantry and in life with excellence!

Aristotle may not have won any beauty pageants, but he knew exactly what characteristics are required to walk away with the crown. Consistency is what is going to separate titleholders from runners up. Remember who you are and be in the habit of delivering that person with such excellence that people whom you encounter is on any night would declare you as Queen.
