In the current uncertain times the most important life skills needed is 1st having a strong and calm mindset and being resilient to challenges and failures. This resilience comes from awareness. Because soo much is happening around the world(and so much information, options available on fingertips) , staying in continuous awareness of one’s self and outside world and not getting overwhelmed is a very challenging task to say the least.To be able to handle these pressures and stay sane, calm and succeed, one needs to be in the right ambience and company and that is what StrongHumanNetwork offers to its members.

Another important life skill which people are struggling to master is emotional outreach. People are discussing emotional intelligence but currently with so many deaths happening around us there is a need to fill the emotional gaps and voids and if you are in a position to extend a helping hand, then emotional outreach is a valuable life skill which will build lifelong relationships.

At StrongHumanNetwork we as a community stand for each other by connecting individually at personal level and understanding the wellbeing of the member and providing the required guidance to sail through the situation stronger.

How these skills will help members in their career and jobs prospectus.

We are in a phase of transformation of human societies that you’ll be left behind if you can’t think beyond a job and career. The larger world is changing, technology and pandemics are transforming all aspects such as office, business, entertainment, financial planning, investment strategies, and priorities in life.

To be able to succeed in a career one should be able to understand this larger play. SHN helps its members in understanding this through our events, individual guidance, content recommendations and coaching from respective experts.

One more important skill for a career is one’s ability to work with virtual, large dispersed teams efficiently. This requires high levels of emotional intelligence. Also this is not just an individual skill but a resultant of market sentiment, company’s culture, trust among stakeholders etc.

At SHN we create an atmosphere which enhances awareness of all members, makes them trust each other and open up. All these are essential to develop emotional intelligence. emotional intelligence is really difficult to acquire in real life because there is always disincentive in the form of social disapproval if your (emotionally intelligent) action fails. and without testing your emotional intelligence you’ll never excel at it. SHN gives you an atmosphere where you don’t have the fear of failing in social circumstances and all other members make you feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn.
