#Guycode speaks to the switched-on social media generation who are lacking essential social skills for the real world.
With extensive experience in secondary education and the cosmetics industry, Michaela has identified a strong link between the motivation to succeed in school-leavers and a strong set of social skills. She’s set up a program to help young people flourish in confidence, character and conduct.
She teaches young people that learning manners, social graces and how to conduct themselves in professional and social circles in an integral part of one’s personal development.
The need to know the secret to success in a digital world is on the list of many, no doubt. Here’s a guide that will help you to “develop the confidence you need to become the best version of yourself”.
As competition is fierce in this technological age, you need to stand out from the crowd: you need to be personable. Ironically, it’s the social media phenomenon that has led to a rapid decline in people’s social skills.
How true is this: we live in a time when face-to-face contact has been replaced with cyberspace presence and connecting with friends means disconnecting from reality.
“Your actions define you. Don’t be imprisoned by uncertainly; be free to explore your potential in the world.”
