Social Intelligence and the Business of Sports
The ability to handle oneself with professional presence can at times outweigh even the most advanced technical skills. If you know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it with grace and style, you will have a competitive edge. Good manners promote good business.
Social intelligence is the level of ease a professional experiences in interactions with others, how adept they are at making conversation, and the confidence they have in anticipating, approaching, and resolving needs.
This unique intelligence, which comes into play anytime two or more parties are engaged, is the capacity to perceive, understand, evaluate, and control your actions and those of others. It is developed through experience and learning from successes and failures in social/interpersonal settings.
Social Polish
Many assume that business etiquette and social polish are skills that we all naturally possess, but this is not always the case particularly when professionals may have focused on their technical skills or academic qualifications, or have had limited exposure to a certain environment.
In many cases, those lacking polish will commit regrettable faux pas or avoid the elements of their position that involve interacting with others, further exacerbating the deficiency and hindering their career advancement.
Social Polish for Professionals enables individuals to present themselves and their capabilities in the best possible light, instilling a level of knowledge and gravitas in how to navigate the social aspects of their role successfully. When you know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it with grace and style, you have a competitive edge both on and off the field — anytime, anywhere, and with anyone.
