    Social skills are critical for long term success and involve the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, understand others, and build relationships. Social skills are judged by what is said, when it is said, and how it is said with good skills using a clear voice and confidence and poor skills using a monotonic voice or inappropriate volume. Social skills can be improved by listening to others, being genuinely interested in them, ignoring unhelpful criticism, keeping a positive attitude, and using body language like eye contact to reinforce listening.

    SLIDE2: What is Social Skills? Social Skill is critical for long term success. 1.

    ability to understand and manage one's own emotional state 2. 3. ability to understand and respond to other people ability to understand ways in which peers communicate and interact, reciprocity and the ability to build interpersonal relationships.

    SLIDE3: Social Skills are judged by what we say, when we say it, and how we say it. Good Skill: a clear voice, have inflection, speak appropriately to a situation, and have confidence in their voice. Poor Skill: monotonic voice, saying the wrong thing, speaking too softly to be heard or too loudly to be tolerated, or simply speaking on boring topics. SLIDE4: How is it achieved? Appropriate greetings depending on relationships: i.e. peer to peer or child to adult. Appropriate and polite ways to make requests (please) and express gratitude (thanks.) Shaking hands. Sharing Giving positive feedback (praise) to peers, no put downs.

    SLIDE5: How to improve your skills? SLIDE6: 1. Listen: a lot of people are just used to talking about themselves or waiting for the other person to finish so they can start talking again. Try to place the mental focus on the person you are talking and listening to instead of yourself. And this would give a good impression and how respect to the person who is speaking. As to treat others as you would like them to treat you!! SLIDE7: 2. Actually be interested in the other person: it becomes easier to find out what someone is really passionate about and to dispel negative assumptions that can mess up the communication. SLIDE8: 3. Dont listen too much to criticism: Most of the time criticism is mostly about the other person Since people often are centred on themselves its easy to make a mistake here. You may draw the wrong conclusion from the criticism. SLIDE9: 4. Keep a positive attitude: being positive is habit just like eating well or doing your daily exercise. It can be hard to get started and slow going at first. But when your mind gets used to this new behaviour it becomes almost automatic. No one would like to accompany someone which makes them sad. SLIDE10: 5. Communicate with more than your words: action speaks louder than words. Body language can be useful also, you can lean in and keep eye contact to reinforce that you are actually listening.
