"Social sensitivity" might not be a familiar term – but you'll definitely recognize it in practice.

Has someone ever ignored your concerns at work? Have you ever made a colleague upset without realizing it at the time? Has trust ever broken down between you and your team?

Social sensitivity is all about your ability to recognize, interpret and respond to the emotions of others. Without it, relationships can go very wrong, very fast.

So join the Pain Points team as they discuss social sensitivity, sharing examples from their careers – along with tips on how to improve your social sensitivity from today!

Talking points include:

  • What is social sensitivity? Why does it matter at work?
  • Who are the most/least socially-sensitive people we've met? What was the impact?
  • Where do we think we are on the social-sensitivity scale?
  • What are the best ways to boost social sensitivity?
  • What will the signs be that it's working?!
