Social skills are the skills we use to communicate and interact with each other, both verbally and non-verbally, through gestures, body language and our personal appearance.
Following are examples of Social Skills:
- good manners.
- active listening (Have a look at the topic Conflict resolution to find out what ‘active listening’ means.)
- gestures and eye contact.
- listening with understanding and empathy (putting yourself in the place of the other person)
- thinking before you speak.
