Social Skills Mastery

Society and our workplaces place a high premium on being confident and feeling good.

We all recognize that our success accelerates when we are confident.  The reason is simple.  Without confidence we revert to fear, and when we are fearful we don’t take any action.  We hesitate, we delay and we procrastinate.  When you can let go of fear, you take action more quickly and easily.

But the question remains – how do I become more confident?  The simplest answer is to become more competent.  As we become more skilled at a task, our fear shrinks and our confidence grows. So these are two critical factors for our social success at anything (including any skill at work), and they are forever linked.

Peter Yawitz is the author of “Flip-Flops and Microwaved Fish: Navigating the Dos and Don'ts of Workplace Culture”, a social skills book targeted toward new professionals in the workforce, however, anyone can benefit from the solid guidance mixed with a bit of humor as we wade into the somewhat mucky waters of post-pandemic hybrid offices.

Our interview touches on myriad concerns and frequently asked questions that have many people perplexed and overthinking as to how to handle certain everyday situations, and also how to make in-the-moment decisions that leave you smelling like a rose and not like microwaved fish in the breakroom. Peter is also the brains behind the very funny and informative YouTube show Advice from Someone Else's Dad.

Curious questions are the most underrated, undervalued secrets of conversational success. They're how we gain a deep understanding of how we can meet or exceed the needs of our clients and customers.     Ninety percent of conversations miss the mark. Ineffective conversations are frustrating, costly, and a waste of time. Miscommunication is a common fatal communication flaw. When you choose to not be curious in conversations, you stand to lose out on valuable information.

There’s no doubt about it — we live in the age of envy. Social media envy, career envy, kitchen envy, accomplished child envy, food envy, public speaking envy, hot body envy, conversation envy, You name it, there’s an envy for it.

As humans, we have always felt what Aristotle defined as pain at the sight of another’s good fortune, stirred by thoughts that others possess that which we should have. 

Episode 100 of the Social Skills Mastery podcast looks at social rivalry, why it exists, and how to live your own fulfilled life without the need to create competition that does not exist.

We all have room for interpersonal skills improvement. This episode of the Social Skills Mastery podcast offers starting points for you to try in building a better version of yourself.

LinkedIn messages and Instagram Reels cannot replace the meaningful connections made through in-person communications and entertaining — also known as party or event hosting. Any individual or business that wants to create strong and lasting relationships needs to know how to produce professional events, even when it extends outside the office and into your home community.

Taking the helm and hosting a social gathering allows you to strengthen bonds with current clients, employees, and partners while developing genuine connections and setting the stage for goodwill down the road.

Whether hosting a product launch for 300 people or a team training for 30, the key is to approach each gathering with a goal in mind and work backwards from there.

There’s no question that when you excel in a social situation, that is due to your positive inner monologue which is influenced by your subconscious mind. This inner monologue reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions, and ideas.

Your inner monologue can be negative and positive, and encouraging and distressing. If you’re the optimistic type, your inner monologue may be more hopeful and positive. The opposite is generally true if you tend to be a pessimist.

Positive thinking and optimism can be effective social skills tools. Indeed, having a more positive outlook on life can provide you with relationship and connection benefits.

If you believe you’re developing a negative inner monologue and that is the reason why people may not seek you out socially, today’s episode will get you back on the right track to social success.  

 

High-performance Coaching can help you increase executive presence and feel at ease socially so you can make the impact you have always desired.
