How to Recognize Your Social Blind Spots (Anywhere)

Social blind spots are the overlooked moments where your presence, tone, or attention (or lack thereof) can shape how others feel—and how they respond. This course equips you to tune in, not just with your ears and eyes, but with emotional clarity and full presence. You'll learn how to: • Be fully present and engage your “sixth sense” to detect emotional undercurrents • Decode body language from head to toe and spot misalignment between words and behavior • Practice deep listening by tuning into tone, pacing, and silence—not just words By recognizing what you’ve been missing, you’ll build stronger relationships, reduce miscommunication, and increase your leadership influence. Because what you miss in the moment can cost you connection in the long run.

Identifying the Key Traits of Interpersonal Connection

Interpersonal connection isn’t just “chatting”—it’s a dynamic process shaped by five core characteristics: • Independent Individuals Everyone brings unique motivations, expectations, and interpretations (e.g., two team members can hear the same feedback yet walk away with different takeaways). • Vulnerability Real connection requires self-exposure—sharing thoughts, feelings, and your authentic lens on the world. • Innate Rationality Communication assumes shared intelligence and intent. As demonstrated in Milgram’s obedience study, we expect messages to be understood and even followed. • Constant & Inescapable Whether you’re speaking, texting, or simply present in a room, you’re always sending messages—verbal or not. • Personal Choice Every word and gesture is a deliberate choice, making connection a skill you can learn and refine.
