It’s impossible to understand everyone, right?

Sometimes we can’t even understand ourselves, let alone everyone from our most intimate partner to the man on the street. I’m here to tell you it is possible.

What’s the secret?

Self-awareness.

In my work as a social skills coach and trainer for people who struggle in social situations, I’ve come to recognize that by improving their self-awareness, they were better able to step into other people’s shoes and therefore better understand others perspectives.

I’m going to share with you a deceptively simple exercise I developed called “Social Spy” that will help you read people of almost any age and in almost any social situation. In fact, it is so simple, you can employ it immediately after this talk.

So, YES, it’s not impossible to understand everyone and your understanding can be limitless!

“We hear over and over again the importance of human connection, yet what does it mean, look like, practiced, and made a habit? Caroline’s TEDx talk made me realize that without perfecting the art of “mutual engagement,” we can’t connect to friends, clients and partners using social spy.”

“When you hear Caroline speak you feel like she is talking just to you. She is funny and engaging and you move between big aha’s and feeling like someone finally gets it.”

“The ultimate blueprint for neurodiverse people to feel confident and build strong connections.”

“You really want to understand people and you think to do this you should talk or even listen but Caroline Maguire shows you with her Ted talk that what you really should do is pause and observe.”
