Today I'll talk about understanding soft skills A couple of us might be familiar with Soft Skills but don't really know how it can improve our career.
It's my wish that after this presentation, we'll be more intentional about learning and improving our soft skills In the highly competitive work environment, hardwork or degrees are just not enough Employers are more concerned with recruiting employees who posses an X-factor
Which will bring about a higher yield in production
You might be the best sales man in your organization, but it amounts to little if you find it difficult to work with others Now, what are *Soft Skills*?
It generally comprises of our attitude, habits and how we interact with people Soft Skills are the personal character traits or qualities each of us posses that makes us who we are.
For the purpose of this presentation, I'll use the following phrases interchangeably:
People Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Social Skills or transferable Skill
This implies that Soft skills are basically about how to relate with people.
Hard skills are professional or technical skills that are learnt in Schools or vocational institutions.
Now, we have to differentiate between Hard and Soft Skills
They are simply mensurable
But, Soft skills are basically some sort of intangible traits that you posses as you relate with other people
Hard skills are gradually being replaced by *AIs* in developed country.
So, in other to stand out in the competitive labour Market, the following soft skills should be learnt and improved.
For instance, some hotels in Asia now use AIs and Robots as receptionists and waiters
#1 Basic/Vital Soft Skill every employer is looking out for is
*Communication Skill
A prospective employee must improve his/her communication skill
This will enable him/her translate the organizational goals and objective into action
The impact of effective communication can not be over emphasized in a given organization
*#2. Teamwork
You should be able to communicate both verbally and non verbally
This is ability to work with others in order to achieve a certain aim and objective
Trust me, it's not everyone that work with others without having any conflict
Learn to work as a TEAM
*Together
*Everyone
*Achieve
*More
When you work with others, it will yield high productivity
*#3. Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is simply about personal and interpersonal emotional awareness
It's the ability to understand your emotions and that of others, and this will enable you work with others especially when you have an understanding of their emotional state
This will enable you relate with people easily.
I'll post a material on EI after this presentation
*#4. Decision Making
Trust me, a lot of people aren't good at making decision Of course, you wouldn't blame them, it's a skill that hasn't been developed
There will a problem when you make a Short term decision You should know when to make a short and long term Critical analyse your options before making a decision
*#. Time Management
Rather, how well do you spend your time?
How good do you use your time?
This is a very vital skill every employer is looking out for. For instance, as a project manager, you have to prepare a time schedule for your project
This will enable you plan your project effectively and also ensure timely completion
Aside from projects.
Take yourself as the Big Project
Spend time on your growth and personal development Ratvities I bet you, this will hype your CV.
There is no employer that will ignore this skill
There's always one conflict or the other in a work place.
I'll just like down the remaining skills
