It's insane how most people overlook the importance of soft skills when in fact, research shows that the lion's share of success comes from the mastery of soft skills rather than technical ones.
Research showed that 85% of success in any endeavor comes from soft skills, only 15% from technical skills. A survey also revealed that 46% of new hires got fired within the 1st 18 months. 89% of them were fired because of a lack of soft skills while only 11% for lack of technical skills.
These data clearly show that one's academic credentials, resume, and passing the interview process alone can only help one to get one's foot in the door. But, none of these will enable them to stay and flourish in the short and long terms.
Thus, the success of professionals, business owners, and leaders is highly dependent on their soft skills (people skills) than any other single factor.
Unfortunately, most professionals pour all their effort into technical skills while soft skills are pushed to the back.
This causes many problems in an organization such as:
- Lack of synergy,
- High turnover rate,
- Rise in conflicts, and
- Low levels of productivity.
At the end of this program, participants will:
- Understand the common challenges many professionals and companies face because of a lack of soft skills.
- Get the latest insights, applicable models, practical approaches, strategies, and tactics to improve all the soft skills necessary to find success.
- Excel at managing their emotions, time, energy, problems, and make smart and right decisions.
- Get along with their team and other stakeholders to promote a happier and healthier work environment.
- Discover immediate actions they can take so you can start implementing these soft skills ASAP.
- Empower themselves and achieve extraordinary success in their personal and professional life.
- Lead and influence others to meet their team's and the greater organization's goals.
- And so much more!
Note: This program is based on the book 'Soft Skills That Make or Break Success.'
