“When you make people angry, they act in accordance with their baser instincts, often violently and irrationally. When you inspire people, they act in accordance with their higher instincts, sensibly and rationally. Also, anger is transient, whereas inspiration sometimes has a life-long effect.” — Peace Pilgrim

Welcome to Inspired to Greatness... the show all about spreading inspiration, motivation, and being great., I am your host, I hope you are having an amazing day, my friends! Today we are talking about SOCIAL SKILLS and wrapping up our series on Emotional Intelligence!

In emotional intelligence the term 'social skills' refers to the skills needed to handle and influence other people’s emotions effectively.

This may sound like manipulation, but it can actually be as simple as understanding that smiling at people makes them smile back, and can therefore make them feel much more positive.

It’s about communication and dealing with conflict!
