SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE

Enriching the quality of your relationships is possible

Man by nature is a social creature ; life is all about relationships.
It stands to reason that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
Surprisingly, for the vast majority of us, neither our parents nor the school taught us how to build healthy and harmonious relations with our fellow men.
As a result, we suffer from degraded, sometimes even toxic relationships in which aggression, conflicts, judgments, manipulations, misunderstandings and the desire to dominate are commonplace.
As the heirs to a highly individualistic and ego-based culture, this mode of interaction, though often destructive, is so familiar to us that we are no longer aware of it.
Instead of acting in a simple and fulfilling manner, we often make our relationships complicated, stressful and frustrating.

In the corporate setting, unhealthy relationships can have dire consequences for the well-being of an employee, subsequently affecting the performance of the company.
However, this is not a fatality.
It is possible to improve our social intelligence, that is, the art of developing and preserving mutually enriching relationships.
As soon as we learn to manage our ego and reconnect with our natural goodness, a new world opens up.
We build positive, smooth, respectful, and enjoyable relationships.
In an organization where the social climate is appeased, employees are more committed, more productive and more loyal.
When a person learns to develop his social intelligence, he not only feels happier but also becomes a real asset to the company.

What is social intelligence ?

Social intelligence is the ability to decipher interactions and to respond with agility, authenticity and wisdom with the view of preserving and strengthening relationships.

It appeals to our humanity and our inner wisdom. It is also akin to the heart acting as a guiding force for the intellect. Also, this skill can be learned and cultivated throughout our lives.

This is an ability that can be learned and developed throughout our life.

Good social intelligence helps to build healthy, effective, enjoyable and rewarding relationships with others.
  • Healthy
A healthy relationship is the opposite of a toxic relationship. It is balanced and does not harm anyone. Each one expresses himself authentically, with respect for oneself and others, without harboring any ill-will, domination or harming aspirations. Trust takes over.

  • Effective
An effective relationship is a relationship whereby exchanges are fluid. Communication is clear, precise, constructive and time-saving.

  • Pleasant
A pleasant relationship is a relationship that provides real pleasure in itself. It bears witness to a
positive emotional connection bonding two interlocutors who appreciate each other.

  • Enriching
An enriching relationship makes us grow and plays a significant role in our personal development. It could be said that this sort of relationship has the ability to pull us up.
