Refining your social emotional skills can improve resilience and foster positive relationships.

Social emotional skills (SES) include attributes in five core areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills can be adapted into various industries and relate to emotional intelligence.

SES can be helpful not just in the workplace but within family relationships, and within school & educational settings.

The key components include:

1. Self-awareness – can be defined as having insight into our own thoughts and behaviors.
2. Self-Management – can include managing emotions, and having the ability to prioritize.
3. Social awareness – is having an understanding and awareness to empathize with others including those from other backgrounds & cultures.
4. Relationship skills – interacting with others in a respectful way, building trust, and creating rapport.
5. Responsible decision making – making well-thought out ethical decisions.

Any work environment can be stressful, at times there can be conflict or challenging decisions to be made. However, one of the core concepts of improving your own SES is that it can lead to better job satisfaction through open communication, understanding, and the ability to be resilient.
