Social skills that you might need for career success
#2. LISTEN DEEPLY
Another great skill is the ability to listen. If you encounter (встретите) someone who’s really good at listening, it often makes a strong impression. A study by the Harvard University revealed that people spend 60% of their conversations talking about themselves. When we aren’t talking, we’re often constructing our response. The best strategy for developing your listening skills is to understand how to listen. Adopt a simple three-pronged approach (трехсторонний подход):
Listen with your eyes: Understand the other person’s body language and what it means. Are they sitting with their arms crossed, for instance, or do they seem relaxed?
Listen with your mind: Try understand what they’re thinking.
Listen with your heart: Sense what they’re feeling, even if they’re not saying something explicitly (открыто, напрямую).
