NO. 1 LIFE SKILL, NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL!

NO. 1 LIFE SKILL,
NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL!

'Conversation' is number one life skill that is not taught in school and young adults need real-life skills empowerment now more than ever.

Do you know which lifeskill permeates every area and aspect of life, still not taught in school?

The answer is 'Conversation'.

Conversing with coworkers, bosses, loved ones, friends, spouses, neighbors, acquaintances, etc., all require certain social norms and boundaries to be observed—such as mutualrespect and give-and-take—whether it’s face to face, by email, and telephone. 

The younger generation has been called the ‘silent generation’, due to communicating overwhelmingly via technology, which is a medium that does not require actually speaking to anyone, such as texting, social media messages, email, and so on.

In so doing, their personal communicationskills are being hindered. The broader outcome could be social isolation, arrested social development, and not learning from the common lot of other’s experiences and mistakes who are their age and older, which could potentially become a barrier to rewarding careers.

Knowing how to connect with others, being empathetic, when to speak and when to listen, is of great value in the workplace and in interpersonal relationships. To learn the art of conversation is to actually do it, with peers and other varied and diverse people.

As per reports*, 'Conversation' is number one life skill that is not taught in school and young adults need real-life skills empowerment now more than ever.
