The Seven Essential Life Skills, with Ellen Galinsky:
- Focus and self Control
- Perspective Taking: is understanding what might be going on in someone mind, is understanding persons thinks, how that person feels and how that person sees the world. An intellectual, a social and emotional understanding of the landscape of others people minds. And it´s very important to deal with other people if we don't think that we think is the only way that it. You know that's the only reality. It's very important to understand others people reality as well.
- Communicating: is thinking through what it is you want to communicate and then understand the perspective of the other people who are going to be recipients. They're gonna be the people who listen to or understand what each other says. It is critical in business for example to understand what your customers need and want. It is critical in any family relationships to understand what other people think and feel but then to communicate in the ways that reach them best. You could communicating and they do this in the business world. The elevator speech. If you only had a minute in an elevator with someone and that person was really important to something that you want to do, what would you say to be able to get through to that person. That's what communicating really is.
- Making Connections: is symbolic relationship. Understanding what things go together, what things are alike, what things are different and how they might go together. In fact making unusual connections is the basis of creativity so important in our world where you can Google for information are the people who can put things together in different way.
- Critical Thinking: is a very important skill because particularly today, we're awash in information. You could go on the internet and find six different version of, you know, what if you are not feeling well what's really going on with you or even understanding a so called fact. There is so much information and we have to have the capacity to understand, what is valid and what is reliable information. That's the basic of critical thinking.
- Taking on Challenges is more than coping with stress. Life can be stressful no mater how we plan for it, no mater what we want to do. Things happen to us that we don't like and we have to be able to cape with those things. But taking on challenges goes beyond simply coping with the things that happen to us. It means taking on that next harder things. And if you think about a world in which information is changing constantly and we are going to have to do things today or tomorrow that we didn't even know existed yesterday. So we have to have the ability to take on the challenge and try somethings hard. And failing is a part of learning. So you know being able to fail but learn from the failures is all part of taking on challenges.
- Self-Directed Engaged Learning is the ability to continue to learn from life, to learn from our experience, to have iniciative to learn in ways that you can use the informations that we have. So really all of the life skills, all of the executive function life skills add up to helping us be on going learners, again in a world where informations changes so rapidly. It is the ongoing learners who will thrive.

2. Toma de perspectiva: es la comprensión de lo que podría estar pasando en la mente de alguien, es entender lo que las personas podrían estar pensando, cómo se siente y cómo esa persona ve el mundo. Comprensión intelectual, entendimiento social y emocional de las imágenes mentales de las personas. Y es muy importante para hacer frente a otras personas, si no pensamos que lo que pensamos es la única manera de hacerlo. Usted sabe que no es la única realidad. Es muy importante entender a otras personas y su realidad también.
