The degree-less candidate gets the job, over the Ivy league one, the smaller, disheveled kid picks up the model, over the alpha jock. The degree-less candidate and the scrawnier one walk into a room and get their way, & leave their mark. Nope, & not with an ounce of their looks, nor their credentials, but through emotional and social intelligence.
I have been engaged by these traits, that really contribute to a human operating system, which drives individuals to hold a certain type of reputation, and maintain a distinctive awareness to the flow of things. I’m sure you all can think of somebody that fits in alignment – that can one second be the most humble person around, and the most attentive listener you’ve engaged with, to then be so confident and secure in their ways, that could lead one to believe is this a fictional character in a utopian world?
SI & EI can always be acquired… here are just a few ways in how one can maneuver around displaying the traits–
1- In conversation with someone just met at a social gathering, or in a dynamic of a social group – listen attentively, and with interest, speak only when its further wanting the other person to elaborate, or when you can contribute something that is on topic and expands on relevancy, or is further stimulating.
2- When there are moments to express one self more, speak modestly, and rather briefly, try and focus on something neutral, such as maybe storytelling. Focus on something the other side can relate too, or that further expands on an area of importance, or generates a level of awareness to a topic.
3-Know what makes others tick and be able to read social ques/body language
4- Be able to carry Self-efficacy, which at its core is belief on ones abilities
5- The balance of showing emotion, and sharing genuineness/ while demonstrating composure, and a collected demeanor
6- Confidence combined with interest makes for the perfect cocktail
