Social Intelligence
What Is Social Intelligence?
Social Intelligence refers to the ability to understand and manage our Behavioral Style, Mindset and Emotional Intelligence to optimize interpersonal relationships. It deals with subconscious biases that can be learned and controlled. At its heart, Social Intelligence is the science of productive relationships. Organizations that foster it, experience higher performance, becoming more productive, collaborative and resilient. There are three highly interdependent elements in each of us: Behavioral Style, Emotional Intelligence and Mindset, each creating a holistic picture of what makes us tick as social individuals.

Behavioral Style
Early in life, we develop behavioral preferences and patterns which we find most comfortable. Partly the result of genetics and partly based on early learning, our Behavioral Style is readily observable to others and directly affects our social interactions in all areas of life. Sometimes our behaviors are seen as positive and sometimes negative, particularly when our behavioural preferences clash with others’. Over 60 years of research has identified four behavioral styles. TRACOM’s SOCIAL STYLE® Model defines these behavioral patterns and teaches specific techniques for creating productive relationships with people of any Style. |

Emotional Intelligence
Our brain is highly complex, and our emotions often subconsciously control our behavior, leaving the rational brain to contemplate our actions in retrospect. Because our emotions tend to be more negative, we fear the worst, and look for danger during change. While these impulsive tendencies were key to our past survival, they aren’t a great fit for in the modern workplace. TRACOM’s Behavioral EQ® Program offers a way to understand our emotions and those of others so we can control our emotions, influence others and achieve greater success. As the third-generation Emotional Intelligence model, Behavioral EQ provides proven, practical and actionable strategies for improving leadership, performance, sales and recruiting. |

Mindset
An Adaptive Mindset is a hallmark of the world’s most successful people, no matter their career. Studies show that highly resilient individuals tackle challenges with optimism and poise, bounce back from adversity and effectively manage stress. And in today’s fast-paced, global environment businesses are looking for leaders with agility to help innovate and create positive change. The good news? Studies show that we can positively impact our own mindset through intentional, practical exercises. When Adaptive Mindset skills are incorporated into learning and development initiatives, the result can be greater employee productivity, wellness and engagement. |
