Full disclosure, one thing I've never been naturally good at as a recovering awkward person is social skills.

Social skills, the tools we use to communicate, relate, and build relationships.

Now what's interesting is, as a researcher, as someone who's obsessed with science, I always wanted to know, are there different types of social skills?

So in this video, I look at the 14 different types of social skills, And I think everyone has a top two or three

that they're really good at and a bottom two or three

that they've always wanted to work on or they have to cover up and hide.

So in this video, I'm going to go through all 14 of those social skills.

You're going to rate and rank yourself on those social skills, and we're going to find our top three and our bottom three.

Let's get started.

The first social skill is linchpin.

If you were a linchpin, you would say yes to the following statements.

I am the glue that holds my social group together.

As a team member, I'm involved in lots of projects and bringing ideas and people together.

I am the only person who talks to everyone in my family and keeps people in the know.

So if you said yes to all three of these statements or two out of three of these statements, you are probably a linchpin.

So linchpin is a specific kind of social skill.

You are a gatherer.

You gather ideas and people.

You bring people together.

You're like a social glue.

What's really great about you is typically you're a bridge.

So you keep groups, companies, teams, families feeling like their relationships are strong and glue is a really,

really great social skill to have.

Social skill number two, conversationalist.

Conversationalists would say yes to the following statements.

You have been told you are a great conversationalist.

You are good at both leading and facilitating deep discussions.

You speak articulately and can easily express yourself.

So you know if you have the gift of gab, Conversationalists just effer- this is not my skill clearly.

They effer- little- oh they effer- sorry they effer- little-

okay conversationalists effer- lit- I don't know why I can't say that.

Okay this is not my social skill.

Okay Conversationalists easily make conversation with anyone.

They are really good at small talk.

They can chat with their boss.

They can chat with the guy behind the counter.

They are really, really good at easily making conversation.

And typically, you get in long, long overnight discussions.

You hop on a phone call that ends up being two hours of deep talk where people share their deepest, darkest secrets.

Being a great conversationalist is actually a specific social skill.

It's different than a linchpin.

It's different than the other things we're going to learn.

It means you have the gift of gap and you should set yourself up to be a great conversationalist, whether that's a listener or a facilitator of deep discussion.

Social skill number three, comedian.

Comedians would say yes to the following statements.

I am funny.

I love to make people laugh.

I can always see the bright side of any situation.

You have probably met a comedian and you remember them for being hysterically funny.

The interesting thing is, as a social skill, being funny holds its own.

You might be really funny but not be great at conversation.

You might be really funny but not be social glue or a linchpin.

You might be really funny, but not be good at decoding body language.

Being funny is a very specific social skill.

It's great for presenting, meetings, hosts.

You're also good at making people feel at ease.

The nice thing is, is you can actually work on how to be funny.

We have a whole guide on our website.

With all these social skills, you can work on them.

But I love the how to be funny one because it's one that people don't often think of.

Social skill number four.

Speaker.

Speakers would say yes to the following statements.

I can captivate an audience.

I love being on stage or leading a meeting, even on video.

I love writing speeches, giving toasts, and giving presentations.

If you said yes to all these three, you are a speaker.

That is a great social skill to have.

What we don't realize is we are speaking all the time.

We're speaking on stages, we're speaking on video meetings, we're speaking when we give a toast.

Anytime you're giving directions or a statement or a story to more than two or three people, you're speaking.

This is a great one to work on if you don't have this social skill.

Social skill number five, influencer.

Influencers would say yes to the following statements.

People typically listen to what I have to say.

I can be very persuasive.

I am good at pitching myself.

Influencing is a really helpful social skill to have in business.

It means people listen to you.

You can pitch your ideas.

You have no problem talking about who you are and what you do.

It also means that you can bring people to your point of view.

So you're good at clearly expressing an idea and convincing people that they should agree with you.

Luckily, an influence is another social skill we can absolutely work on.

And I highly recommend it if you're in sales, marketing, or working with big teams.

Social skill number six, listener.

Listeners would say yes to the following statements.

People always come to you to vent, complain, or talk about their problems.

You tend to listen more than you talk.

You are very good at being fully present with people and giving them your full attention.

So listening is one of my bottom social skills.

I have to work on it really hard, and that's because I am a high neurotic.

I tend to worry, and I am always so worried there's going to be an awkward silence.

So the moment there's any kind of break, I try to hop in, make sure people are okay, make sure they're feeling all right, share a funny story or anecdote because I'm worried

that they're not having a good time or there's going to be an awkward silence.

To help myself with this skill, a couple years ago I took a vow of silence.

You might remember it if you follow me on social media, where I was silent, no writing, no talking for an entire eight day period and I did all my normal things.

I went to meetings, networking events, just to learn how to be a better listener.

It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend it if you want to work on this social skill.

100

Social skill number seven, magnet.

101

Magnets would say yes to the following statements.

102

People usually like you.

103

You are charismatic and authentic.

104

People find you approachable and warm.

105

Okay, so I'm totally obsessed with magnets.

106

If this is your social skill, I love meeting you.

107

I would love to hear from you.

108

Magnets are these very rare, special people.

109

Very few people have this social skill.

110

They're just attractors.

111

People want to meet them.

112

They want to get to know them.

113

The moment they walk into a room, people are just drawn to them.

114

I wrote an entire book about magnets.

115

Captivate is my study of different magnets who have this natural social skill

116

and how people who don't have this social skill can So if you want to be a magnet, I highly recommend checking out Captivate if you haven't already.

117

Social skill number eight, Storyteller.

118

Storytellers would say yes to the following statements.

119

I always have a story to share.

120

I save and remember good stories.

121

People always ask me to give toasts or introduce people.

122

Storytelling is a very specific social skill.

123

It's different than being funny.

124

It's different than being a good conversationalist.

125

We often lump storytelling and being a good conversationalist and humor into the same social skill, but they're actually different.

126

You can be an exceptional storyteller, but not very good at chit chat.

127

You can be an exceptional story and not very good at being funny or having a good timing with jokes.

128

The reason why I point this out is because if you're a good storyteller, you should leverage and strengthen that as much as possible.

129

Put yourself in positions where you're telling a lot of stories.

130

Or if you're a good storyteller, your toasts, your presentations, your speeches should be focused on stories more than anything else.

131

So if you're not a good speaker, but you are a good storyteller, you can use this social skill to leverage the other social skills that you're a little bit weaker in.

132

Social skill number nine, nurturer.

133

Nurturers would say yes to the following statements.

134

You love taking care of people.

135

You tend to be a people pleaser and have trouble saying no. You're very empathetic and compassionate.

136

So I love nurturers.

137

We love to have them in our life because they take care of us.

138

Nurturing, empathy, compassion is a very specific social skill.

139

When you are a nurturer, I found that these folks, you cannot help it.

140

You want to nurture everyone and everything.

141

You're always worried about others more than yourself.

142

The danger, if this is your skill, this is your top skill, you probably have trouble saying no, you probably have trouble setting boundaries,

143

and you might have difficult or toxic people in your life that you have trouble getting rid of.

144

So for this social skill, I want to make sure if this is you, you protect yourself.

145

Social skill number 10, decoder.

146

Decoders would say yes to the following statements.

147

I am very perceptive.

148

I can usually tell what people are thinking and feeling.

149

I'm very good at decoding body language.

150

If you said yes to this, you're a decoder.

151

Decoders are sleuths.

152

You're super perceptive.

153

You're typically good at reading between the lines.

154

Someone might say something, but you notice a facial expression or a nonverbal tick.

155

Decoders are typically very, very accurate at reading people at spotting lies, at spotting deception.

156

I studied decoders so much for my lie detection course.

157

That is because there's a very small person in the population called truth wizards.

158

Truth wizards are naturally good at spotting lies, above average, above average than chance.

159

They're just very good at spotting out any kind of inaccuracies.

160

The good news is you You can absolutely work on your decoding ability.

161

I highly recommend checking out our facial expression guide where you can learn the seven universal micro expressions.

162

That's scienceofpeople.com slash face.

163

Social skill number 11, leader.

164

Leaders would say yes to the following statements.

165

I like to empower others.

166

People often come to me for guidance.

167

I'm better at giving directions than following directions.

168

The interesting thing about leadership is it's different than the influence social skill.

169

So influencers, you're good at getting people to listen to you, you're good at pitching your ideas, you're good at convincing people.

170

But you might not necessarily be leading a team.

171

You might not necessarily be leading by taking the pulse of a group.

172

Leaders typically are good at influencing, but they're even better at seeing an entire team or a family

173

or a baseball team or a group taking the pulse of that group and trying to guide to one direction.

174

They can get lots of people to agree with the same idea or go in the same direction or follow directions.

175

That's a little bit different than influence, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were good at both leadership and influence at the same time.

176

That means you're really set up to be a great leader.

177

Social skill number 12, connector.

178

Connectors would say yes to the following statements.

179

I spend a lot of time and effort networking with others.

180

I'm good at building relationships with influential people.

181

I've developed a large network of colleagues

182

and associates whom I can call on for support when I really need to get things done.

183

We desperately need connectors.

184

So connectors specifically are good at understanding who should know who.

185

You also are very good at building a very robust network that you can rely on.

186

You're good at reaching out to people, relying on them, getting social support.

187

Connecting is a specific kind of social skill.

188

Most people combine being a magnet and being a connector.

189

They're actually different.

190

Magnets attract people to themselves.

191

Connectors bring people together.

192

Social skill number 13, dream builder.

193

Dream builders would say yes to the following statements.

194

You are great at solving people's problems.

195

You love to encourage people.

196

You're known as a fixer.

197

So I love dream builders.

198

Dream builders are often cheerleader types.

199

So they're really positive, really optimistic.

200

You're really good at encouraging and appreciating people.

201

Or you're a fixer.

202

You're a solver.

203

You're good at getting to the heart of the problem.

204

You're good at mediating.

205

You're good at facilitating.

206

People come to you to solve things.

207

And those are two typically different kinds.

208

Typically, but not always, I notice that fixers tend to be males of this version

209

and cheerleaders tend to be females of this social skill.

210

Social skill 14, chameleon.

211

Chameleons would say yes to the following statements.

212

You can get along with anyone.

213

You are a floater socially or professionally.

214

You have a variety of friends and interests.

215

So if you're a chameleon, you are great at adapting yourself. In fact,

216

I saved chameleon as the very last social skill because you're probably the person who has a little bit of everything.

217

If you said two, if you answered yes to two of every single one, you could be a chameleon.

218

That means you're very high in all of them, but you don't specialize in one special thing.

219

Chameleons are great because they're super adaptive.

220

They can fit into almost any group of people and they're really, really valuable on teams.

221

Here's my goal with this video.

222

I want you to think of social skills differently.

223

Not all social skills are created equal.

224

People often think, oh, if I'm going to do a social skills training

225

or I'm going to get better at social skills or I'm going to be more likable, that's one skill.

226

But actually there are 14 different ways that we can be likable and authentic and charismatic.

227

You can have someone who's a very charismatic listener where they don't talk a lot.

228

They're great at being empathetic and compassionate.

229

Maybe their two social skills are listening and nurturing.

230

Versus you can have someone who's very charismatic, who's a great storyteller, a great comedian, and a great influencer.

231

And they're always the life of the party.

232

They're always running conversations.

233

They're always sharing really funny things.

234

Those are two different kinds of charisma, but both of those people are charismatic.

235

My goal for this is for you to think about how you are charismatic.

236

What is your flavor of charisma?

237

And work on honing those skills.

238

Remember, if you want to really level up these skills, I have an entire online course about this called People School.

239

It is 12 of these social skills in depth, in action.

240

We actually work through them.

241

I give you frameworks and case studies.

242

you come into People's School with one big goal and I help you achieve it.

243

I hope you'll consider joining me in my next class of People's School or start with Captivate if you haven't already.

FOR YOU

Сценарий: Разговор о социальных навыках

Представьте, что вы смотрите видео о том, как развивать коммуникативные способности, и хотите не только понять, но и научиться разговаривать на английском так же естественно, как говорящий в ролике. В диалоге рассматриваются разные типы социальных навыков — например, «линчпин» (человек, который объединяет группу), разговорщик или комик. Это реальная ситуация, где важно не только знать слова, но и чувствовать ритм речи, интонацию и структуру высказываний.

Полезные фразы и сочетания

Social skills — социальные навыки (основное понятие видео, часто используется в разговорах о коммуникации).
Bring people together — объединять людей (ключное сочетание для описания роли «линчпина»).
Make conversation — заводить разговор (важно для разговорщиков: «easily make conversation with anyone» — легко заводить разговор с кем угодно).
Make people laugh — заставлять людей смеяться (характерно для комиков: «love to make people laugh» — любить заставлять людей смеяться).
Deep discussions — глубинные обсуждения (используется для описания серьезных разговоров: «facilitating deep discussions» — проводить глубинные обсуждения).

Ваше задание: шадоуинг

Шадоуинг — это отличный способ улучшить произношение и ритм речи. Сегодня попробуйте такой простой тренинг: выберите фрагмент видео (например, описание «разговорщика»), включите запись, послушайте фразу, затем сразу повторите ее, копируя интонацию и темп. Сделайте это 5 раз подряд. Если вы ищете платформу для такого упражнения, используйте shadowing site или shadowspeak — они помогут структурировать тренировки. Помните: Shadowing английский — это эффективный метод, и даже короткие упражнения каждый день дадут результат. Учиться английский с YouTube никогда не было так интересно! Давайте начнем — ваши социальные навыки на английском будут только улучшаться.

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

Конструкция	В видео
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас	I've never been · they've always wanted · have been told
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	have been told · are just drawn · are created
Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете	person who talks · people who don · person who has

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
