[Blessings]

Absolutely…been in consulting for year
Having to presentations to C-level execs, SMEs, “lower level” end-users…while working the room to keep the environment engaging

Naturally my line of work helped me tremendously talking with women

You can't teach social skills
You can slightly improve the basics
But the rest is based on looks, height, voice, and propensity for violence(for men)

Hate to break it to you. Those people are not your friends.

There are more broke social people than there are mathematicians.

You're talking about the top 5-10%. Your average Joe who's social would be in way better position if they had a mathematical background.


Math gets your foot in the door, social skills helps with breakthru in upper tiers

I'm not mad at it...but why

 

[SunZoo]

Communication is easily the most important skill

Self communication especially.

Social skills can take you places. You may have to prove that you belong in those places afterward but social skills will at least get you in the door.

 

[Da_Eggman]

I suck at both

 

[the bossman]

Wrong

knowing how to write an email is also important...

And wrong. Well, wrong if you work or plan to work in corporate America
