It is often said that in today's world, having a high emotional quotient is as important as having a high intelligence quotient. To help you build your social skills, here are list of some effective ways:
On solving problems-
When faced with problems, be soft on the person and hard on the problem. However, most people do the opposite which affects their equations.
On how to be more confident-
Speaking slowly and softly, and maintaining eye contact while talking to others makes you appear more confident.
On how to connect with people-
When people are seen, heard, and remembered they feel special and it helps create a connection with them. This works on building connections-- be it personal or professional.
On how to criticise others-
Warren Buffets' quote, "Praise publicly, criticise privately" is great advice for everyone. This would help maintain your bonds-- be it personal or professional-- with others in the long run.
Agreeing with others-
Agreeing to others' ideas with a "Yes" and adding your input to it makes you appear more positive and agreeable. People like others who listen and agree with them, unlike those who always dismiss their suggestions.
Stop complaining-
Complaining or gossiping are negative emotions and they pull your spirits down. People often prefer to avoid cribbers, so one should avoid complaining. Instead, cultivate a positive mindset and either accept situations or try finding solutions to the problems.
Create strong and healthy bonds with others-
"The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life," Esther Perel once said, and rightly so. If there are issues in your personal life, they would often reflect in your professional life as well.
Normalise not knowing it all-
It is okay to say that you don't know everything about things. However, showing an eagerness to know things reflects a positive attitude and growth mindset, which would help you excel at the workplace.
