Social Survival Skills for Geniuses
In my executive coaching, I've found people often stall in their careers for reasons they can't quite understand. They're still as bright and competent as always, but they just aren't moving ahead. Often, it's because they've reached that magical point where work skills have become less relevant, and people skills now drive their ability to move forward. Unfortunately, no one ever says, "You're good enough at your job. Now you have to master the people part of the equation." I can help.
You see, I was born clueless. You know how some people have that instant instinct for making others feel comfortable? They're witty and charming, and no matter how bad their ideas are, people rally around them, support them, and help them get ahead? Well, that wasn't me. It took me decades to learn that hard work, skill, and intelligence is no substitute for the ability to play well with others. My poor people skills were holding me back, big-time. My projects weren't supported, I wasn't listened to, and people said I seemed confrontational when I thought I was just discussing an important idea.
Fortunately, the people skills can be learned. After spending a couple of decades going up the learning curve, I'm sharing some of the "rules for dealing with humans" in this program. This is the stuff they never taught us in elementary school. We'd all be so much happier if they had...
- Understanding the multiple conversations going at once: content and emotion.
- Managing emotional relationships.
- Using voice tone appropriately.
- Appearance as a key in establishing yourself in an environment.
- Body language and its effects on those around you.
- Choosing words for maximum positive impact.
- Creating lasting connections that span ideas and emotion.
If you or someone you know or love would benefit from learning a bit more about the human side of the equation, this is the program you want!
