Comment on The one skill you are born with, that we won’t hire withoutparent

Sure you can. It's like any life skill. There might not be a systematic universal way to learn "professionalism", "manners", "etiquette", or "communication skills", but those are certainly taught and learned. Why not empathy, which is absolutely a core part of each of the above?

It's a brain function to have instantaneous access. You can't teach the brain to mylenate faster. However, teens can slow down (count to 10) and then they can access much of the same as adult judgement and empathy.
