Preparation is a Soft Skill but it may require intuition →

February 28, 2021 Brent Jones
- RSS

Soft skills require preparation, such as time management, interpersonal communications, team building, listening, and negotiation.

You must discern what is needed as you prepare, or you will find yourself “all dressed up with nowhere to go.” (Maybe even wearing the wrong coat for the terrain)

Intuitiveness, the ability to know or understand something because of feelings rather than facts or proof, is a soft skill, and it will happen when you research why you are preparing.

Holding the chalk right and having what your right with it readable counts ………………..

What are Soft Skills and Why are they Important? →

Soft skills are often thought of as productive personality traits that empower individuals to influence one’s relationships in social, emotional, and even spiritual ways. Soft skills is an umbrella term for three vital functional elements: people skills, social skills, and personal career attributes. These skills are best understood as different aspects of a person’s effectiveness and influence.

“People Skills” are patterns of behavior and interactions. It is an umbrella term for skills under three related abilities: personal effectiveness, interaction, and intercession skills.

Social skills are interaction skills, including social graces, communication abilities, language skills, personal habits, cognitive or emotional empathy, time management, teamwork, and leadership traits.

“Soft Skills” is another umbrella term for three vital functional elements: people skills, social skills, and personal effectiveness.

Intercession skills are like interaction skills, but they specifically apply to situations where the people involved have interests or perspectives at odds with each other. Resolving these differences requires empathy, patience, and the ability to negotiate a solution that all parties can accept.

By working on personal effectiveness, employees get a better understanding of their talents. They learn to use these optimally. They also see which skills they lack and need to develop to achieve their goals.

Soft skills are essential because they are not restricted to a specific field and can be used in every aspect of people’s lives. Soft skills make people flexible in a world that keeps changing.

In today’s world, soft skills are a significant differentiator for employability and success in life. Still, a 2019 Society for Human Resource Management survey found that three-quarters of employers have difficulty finding graduates with the soft skills their companies need.

Focus your Work Ethic (1).png

Some work for food, shelter, or safety, which is their primary focus & they can stay focused on tasks for as long as necessary to get them done.

Focus is equally as important as persistence when it comes to working ethics. Focusing will allow you to finish tasks more efficiently while avoiding distractions. Work Ethics is an important “Soft Skill.”

A person with a strong work ethic may be referred to as tenacious, which for the most part, is a positive aspect of work ethic and could also be considered a soft skill. If someone calls you determined, you're probably the kind of person who never gives up and never stops trying: someone who does whatever is required to accomplish a goal.

Or on the other hand, you may be stubborn.

Empathy involves sharing the other person's emotions creating the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Developing empathy is crucial for establishing relationships and behaving compassionately. It is a soft skill enabling someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people.

These are cognitive, emotional, and compassionate empathy, and this page explains what each type of heart means.

It also explains how and why it is possible to demonstrate one or more of the three types of empathy yet still come across as uncaring.
