How can you teach others to be more adaptable in their interpersonal skills?

I'm a fan of personality tests like Myers-Briggs or Process Com for assessing interpersonal skills. I get it, they're not everyone's cup of tea. Some say they're not the most reliable tools. But here's my take 😊: I use them as a starting point, a sneak peek into someone's personality. It's not about defining them but understanding a piece of who they are & how they like to communicate. To me, they're the first brushstroke on the canvas, not the whole painting. The test can't embrace our entire complexity, the same way you're not just a spouse, a parent or a professional. You're all of it & much more. These tests give us valuable insights, a solid foundation for further exploration. What do you think about them?

I'm a big advocate for authenticity & vulnerability. 💟 In a world often dominated by facades, sharing your personal challenges, when done thoughtfully, can be a powerful way to connect with others. The key is not to overshadow them but to make them feel valued. By sharing a relevant personal story that ties into their experiences, you show that you're truly listening. It also conveys how you've been through the same, that you're connected. If your story ends on a positive note, demonstrating how you've overcome a challenge & grown, it can be truly inspiring.

One of my most profound life lessons was to become comfortable with failure, a missing piece in traditional education, in my honest opinion. Failure is actually the world's best teacher. By embracing failure, we: - Invite growth in - Get used to frustration - Build our resilience muscle - Identify what works for us while ruling out what doesn't - & more In essence, we tap into two million years of human evolution to embrace progress & success. 🚀 Encouraging others to accept mistakes & failures is one of the best gifts we can ever give.

To help individuals connect deeply with a skill, whether it's interpersonal or any other, it's powerful to link it with their goals & desired outcomes. Open-ended questions are your allies in this: - How does mastering this skill align with your objectives? - What challenges might you face while developing it? - Are there complementary skills to accelerate your journey? Some exercises might also come in handy: - Reflect on past successes with this skill - Seek mentors or role models for guidance Encourage them to view the skill as an exciting journey, not just a destination.

Building a skill can be daunting when it's new, or feel monotonous when we're getting comfortable. I love using gamification to add an element of fun & make it more engaging. 😁 As a fan of Roleplaying Games, I use concepts like progress bars & leveling up. This visual progression is very motivating. The best: it doesn't have to be perfectly accurate; it's all about the feeling, the motivation it provides to keep improving.
