12:03pm Maureen Sharib Can they be taught/learned or do you need to have a natural ability towards it?

12:03pm Maureen Sharib Sit down RA
12:03pm Judy Reynolds personally speaking I think it's natural ability
12:04pm Recruiting Animal It's an interesting question: Do Introverts Have Social Skills? I would say yes but only under specific conditions
12:04pm Maureen Sharib RA, if not at social or business gatherings then where do you have them?
12:04pm Denyse Diem I don't think it's that cut and dry - you need a bit of both, natural ability, a no fear attitude and willingness to learn and hone those skills
12:04pm Recruiting Animal Some people are good one on one and others in groups I don't have any social skills Maureen. It was a joke
12:04pm Don to me .. being able to engage others in easy conversations relating to their situations, having empathy, listening to them (two ears one mouth)
12:04pm Denyse Diem Are you best one on one Animal?
12:04pm Annette Rinslo I agree with Judy, also a person needs to have the ability to listen to people well.
