3-2-1: On social skills, gratitude, and making life count

Social skills. Being able to work with a group, to align the group members around common goals to create forward progress

The safest thing you can do in a world where personal and professional success is increasingly built on connections is to meet new people, gain new experiences, and develop resiliency. But what’s comfortable is to do none of those things.

First off, I realize I can continue refining my humanity and my empathy skills. I hope to take more listening, relationship, and communication courses in 2023 to sharpen this critical skillset.

So, there you have it: Eye contact, Avoid distraction, Reflection, Summarize.

The only goal I have either for myself or the individuals I teach is that in every interaction the other person should walk away feeling much better for having met you.
