What are soft skills?
Soft skills are the personal qualities that help you thrive in life and in the workplace. They are the behavioral and interpersonal skills that relate to how effectively you interact with others and handle everyday life and specific situations.
These are quite different from hard skills which refer to the specific knowledge and abilities that you need to perform your job effectively or to complete a task. Hard skills are the measurable skills acquired through training, education, and practise.
In a competitive labour market, prospective employees who demonstrate they have a good combination of hard and soft skills often see a greater demand for their services.
In this course, we cover a whole range of essential soft skills, including:
* Communication and relationships skills, including communication and building rapport, listening, asking questions, body language, emotional intelligence, and relationships.
* Action skills, including goal setting, planning and taking action, productivity and effectiveness, decision-making and problem-solving, learning and development, and asking for help and support.
* Self-management skills, including health and well-being, thinking, confidence and assertiveness, and resilience.
