10 Benefits of Becoming a Social Wizard

Everyone's on Social Media, but interacting physically with people is a totally different ballgame.

How can you benefit from it?

Read on!

// A THREAD //
1. It builds Self Confidence

Talking to people requires you to overcome fears.

What is that person really like? Will they laugh at me?

The fear is not real, just voices in your head.

You break down walls of fear & build Self Confidence by meeting people.
2. Improves Sales Skills

When you’re dealing with people, you’re selling yourself.

People will label you in their own mind.

It’s important to remain authentic and true to yourself.

Each person will perceive you differently.

That’s the beauty of socializing..
3. You learn a lot about yourself

How do you feel about yourself when someone doesn’t smile back at you?

When this first happened to me, it made me feel insecure.

But when I saw that this person was serious with everyone, I knew it wasn’t about me.
4. You adapt

Everyone is different and you have to adapt accordingly.

Some people are all ears, you can talk for hours with them.

With others you need to cut to the chase, or you must listen first before you speak to them.

Everyone is different.

Be Water my friend, adapt!
5. Responsibility

The more you talk with others, the more you learn about them.

Gaining someone’s trust can make them feel relaxed in your presence.

Secrets are disclosed.

What you do with the information is your superpower.

You also learn to nurture Responsibility.
6. Listening

You listen and you observe.

What you hear and what you don’t.

What you see and what you don’t.

Listening involves asking questions.

The better the questions, the more you learn.
7. It’s a form of Entertainment

Bored?

Forget Netflix.

Go out and meet people!
8. Fulfillment

Meeting people is a two way process.

You speak to them, they listen to you, they speak to you, you listen...

The fulfilling part comes when there’s a connection.

A spark has been lit, a fire burns.
9. It improves Communication

Practice makes perfect they say.

Communication is not just about speaking & listening, it’s a holistic process.

Body Language is important too.

Many times I’ve heard words that weren’t matched by the person’s body language.

Were they lying?
10. You build “Social Assets”

Knowing and “having” friends in all corners of the world is amazing!

Feel at home anywhere in the world.

Discover foreign places like a local.

There’s nothing like it.

What is Empathy?

It’s a superpower, you agree right?

But what does it mean?

Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s thoughts & feelings from their point of view.

Did you know there are 3 types of Empathy?

Which one is yours?

//🧵 A Mini Thread 🧵//
Hold on. Isn’t Sympathy the same as Empathy?

Well no, it’s not.

Sympathy is seeing, from a physical & emotional distance that someone’s shoes are hurting.

Empathy is putting yourself in the other’s shoes, walking in them & feeling their pain.

What are the 3 types of Empathy?
1. Cognitive:

Knowing how the other person feels and what they could be thinking. Also known as perspective-taking.

10 Things to focus on in your 20’s

My 20’s were great.

I was young & hungry, willing to live life to its fullest, learn, earn & break hearts.

But it was mostly me who ended up broke & heartbroken.

I wish I knew better then

Advice for you to level up your 20’s

// A THREAD //
1. Build financial foundations

Your 20’s is the time to build foundations.
Lay the base for your financial future.

Save every month, invest if you can.
Your older you will be thankful.
2. Commit less to amorous relationships, more on yourself.

Know yourself well.

Committing to relationships which you know will fail, is not doing you nor the other person any favours.

Be honest with yourself.

If you heart says no, let your mouth speak the truth too.
