Learn all the buzz around Social Emotional Learning and how it can create room for happier, healthier, and better relationships with ourselves and others.
Mary and Jill introduce Girls Mentorship, clarify who the content is for, and emphasize their energetic way of showing up. They also introduce social emotional learning (SEL) as the foundation of their work and invite viewers to engage.
They describe how SEL helps people thrive personally and professionally, build relationships, and contribute to a caring society, and ask viewers to consider how they show up emotionally. The hosts also explain how events shape mood, temperament, personal reality, and personality.
The speakers explain why operating from an SEL framework fosters lifelong learning and openness to change, and they call out the pitfalls of a fixed, 'I already know everything' mindset. They invite viewers to honestly consider whether they or people they know might be stuck in unhelpful patterns.
Mary names the five components—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making—and asks viewers which area they want to grow in. They preview upcoming videos that will explore each component in depth and encourage viewers to start reflecting.
The hosts close the video with a friendly goodbye and remind viewers to watch the follow-up videos to practice the SEL skills introduced.
Hi, my name's Mary. This is my best friend and business partner, Jill, and together we own a company called Girls Mentorship. Girls Mentorship is a personal growth and development company for teen and tween girls. Now, you're probably thinking, I am not a teen girl, should I keep scrolling? And the answer to that question is no. You stop right there because this message is also for you. Now, one of the best compliments that Jill and I get nearly on a daily basis is about our energy. It's how we show up.
The follow-up question or comment usually sounds a little something like, hey, can you teach me how to show up that way? Or at the very least, can I borrow some of your energy? And the foundation of what we teach is social emotional learning, SEL for short. SEL can help young people and adults thrive personally and professionally, develop and maintain positive relationships, become lifelong learners, and contribute to a more caring and just world, aka we like to refer to it as St. smarts. Question for you.
When was the last time you checked in with how you were showing up on an emotional level? Do you know how your energy affects those around you? Because what we know to be true is this. Generally speaking, of course, something happens in your life which you perceive to be happening to you as opposed to happening for you and it puts you into a mood. That mood then turns into your temperament That temperament turns into your personal reality, and your personal reality transforms into your personality.
Then, when people ask you what's going on, your default answer becomes nothing. It is just who I am. So why do we love operating from this SEL framework? Because as Jill mentioned earlier, it allows us to be lifelong learners. People who are open to change and exploring new opportunities, not people who are stuck in their ways and totally unwilling to change. And I already know everything type of person. And we're positive that you know somebody like that. And we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you can't think of anyone off the top of your head, More than likely, it might be you.
Today, we want to outline the five components of SEL in order to help you either get familiar with these concepts if this conversation is new to you, or on the other hand, help you reground in them if it's been a minute since you've thought about how you're using them in order to show up as your best self. So #1, self-awareness. Number 2, self-management. Coming in at #3, we've got social awareness. Number 4, relationship skills. And #5 is responsible decision-making. Before diving into each of these components individually, which one of the five do you think you have room to grow in?
It could be one of them or maybe all five. But we want you to start reflecting because in the next set of videos, we will break each one of these individually so that you can start practicing them and have them work for you. From wherever you're watching us today, we hope you enjoy the rest of your day and we will see you in the next video. Bye.
