Social Skills Word Search
This social skills word search covers the small moves that make talking with people go well: eye contact, a handshake or a wave, how to greet and introduce yourself, take turns, read body language, keep personal space and find a compromise.
Conversation runs on very tight timing. A 2009 study led by Tanya Stivers recorded people talking in ten languages, from Japanese to Danish to a Mayan language, and found that in all of them the usual gap between one speaker finishing and the next starting was only about a fifth of a second. That is faster than a person can plan a reply, so good listeners start preparing their answer while the other person is still talking, and a long pause is noticed right away.
Names matter more than people expect. In How to Win Friends and Influence People, published in 1936, Dale Carnegie wrote that a person's name is to that person the sweetest sound in any language, and he trained salespeople to repeat a new name once out loud to remember it. The handshake is far older: a carving from about 850 BC shows the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III clasping hands with a Babylonian ruler to seal an alliance.
