Soft is the New Hard: Why soft skills are the key to success
Don’t let the name ‘soft skills’ fool you; soft skills are not easy. Skills like communication, emotional intelligence, resilience, leadership, teamwork, empathy, mindset, problem solving and adaptability.
They’re what make someone good to work with, not simply good at what they do.
Soft skills are often more difficult to master than ‘hard’ job-specific technical skills that require years of formal study or work experience. Yet they are essential to personal and career success.
After many years skewed towards hard skills, there is now a worldwide awakening to the value of soft skills. Why? Because they’re hard to outsource and automate.
According to a report by Deloitte Access Economics titled Soft skill for business success (May 2017), “soft skill-intensive occupations will account for two-thirds of all jobs [in Australia] by 2030, compared to half of all jobs in 2000”.
Soft skills are the new hard and it’s time to get on board.
In this keynote audiences learn:
Why soft is the new hard
How improving your soft skills will supercharge your performance and productivity
The importance of investing in soft skill development for you and your team
How to develop your soft skills (practical strategies for self-management)
How to hire for soft skills
Suited to: Executive and leadership teams, business owners, entrepreneurs and human resource professionals.
