Eventually, I will use the kazoo I was given for this. :)
Today's post is about the idea of social intelligence. Yes, it is what you think it is. Have you spent much time thinking about yours? Currently, I am taking a leadership development course. In this class, we have talked about the impact that you have on those around you and the importance of getting feedback. A part of social intelligence is knowing how to say things and when to say them. Another part is the listening, the hearing.
Are you able to listen to someone and hear the message they are communicating? When we listen to each other we allow ourselves to grow. Coincidentally, when you've been listened to, you feel valued and important. This is not a coincident. These interactions are positive for both parties. The person speaking will be more willing to invest in your development if they know you value their input. You, in turn, are able to grow when you synthesize this information into your life. True as a child and still true as an adult.
