Welcome to our new regular post category: SOFT SKILLS.
Everyone talks about them, but it’s extremely difficult to identify, categorize, develop these skills and sell them to potential employers. Twice a week we will pick up on a soft skill and provide you with insights and useful information on what this skill represents and how to develop it.
The deal is to:
1) Organize massive amounts of information on soft skills.
There are over 90 soft skills. Where should you start and how to prioritize?
2) Provide relevant and valuable sources to read, listen or watch on each skill. We will provide the essentials and save you some learning time.
3) Promote skill-awareness and help our readers develop personally and professionally. While hard skills will get you an analyst job, soft skills will make you CEO. Developing soft skills will provide you with flexibility you need to excel in your career.

What are Soft Skills?
Have you ever thought to yourself which soft skills are important for the job you are applying for? Have you ever had difficulty showing or “selling” these skills in your CV or during an interview? How can you know whether you’ve mastered a certain skill and what can you do to improve it?
First, let’s learn the difference between hard and soft skills. Hard skills are specific abilities which can be measured and defined. You can learn them in a classroom or through books and are easily identified on your resume.
Soft skills are subjective. They are broadly applicable and relate to the way you interact with other people. These skills tend to come from life experience or upbringing, but they can also be developed by self-aware individuals seeking to be more successful.
Hard skills are individual for each job and function, while soft skills are universal. Mastering soft skills will provide you with the freedom and flexibility to obtain any job position, provided that you learn the necessary hard skills.
We will start with arranging all the skills in to 7 groups:
1. Communication skills #communication@flessibilita
2. Leadership skills #leadership@flessibilita
3. Influencing skills #influencing@flessibilita
4. Interpersonal skills #interpersonalskills@flessibilita
5. Personal skills #personalskills@flessibilita
6. Creativity skills #creativity@flessibilita
7. Professional skills #professionalskills@flessibilita
Development of soft skills is an investment worth making! Watch the short What are soft skills?

1. Communication Skills
1.1. Verbal Communication
When considering communication skills, speech is the first type of communication you might think of. So, we’ll start with it.
Speaking often comes with anxiety. Nervousness stops you from thinking clearly and as a result you your speech either becomes too tense or you lose track at all. If you’re speaking to a partner, listening becomes yet another difficult task.
Watch this practical Stanford workshop on spontaneous communication.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAnw168huqA
You will learn to manage any type of verbal communication, whether you’re speaking to one person in private or to the entire audience. It will teach you to manage anxiety, build a fruitful conversation and become an attentive listener.
Video Summary:
a) Learn techniques to manage anxiety while speaking
• Acknowledge anxiety
• Start with a question
• Use inclusive conversational language
• Stay in the present moment, be less concerned about the future
b) Ground rules
• Get out of your own way. “Calling the wrong name” exercise. Good for traffic jams.
• See things as an opportunity. “Imaginary gifts” exercise.
• Learn to listen to your partner. Spelling game.
• Tell a structured story. Problem-solution-benefit structure. What?-so what?-now what?

1. Communication Skills
1.2. Body Language and Physical Communication.
Part 1. Working on your body language before and during communication.
Neurologists believe our body is a more important instrument of communication than verbal language, which accounts for only 7% of communication, while the rest can be attributed to physical behaviour. It’s important to pay attention to facial expressions, gestures, the way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close to our partner we stand, how much eye contact we make, posture, and tone of voice— all this speaks louder than words. Working on your body language can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships. It can show if you’re really listening or being truthful.
It’s true that physical communication doesn’t stop when you stop speaking. It’s an unconscious and natural method of communication and can’t be faked. Sure, you can learn certain postures or gestures, but unless you’re a professional actor or truly self-confident, it’s unlikely you’ll manage to take full control of your body and not give away your true feelings, for example, in a meeting.
A Harvard professor in social psychology argues that body language is an effective tool even before communication starts. Watch the following video and learn how to use body language to feel happy or powerful, as your body can influence your mind and affect the level of stress and confidence you experience before communicating. Your body language shapes who you are.

Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are | Amy Cuddy | TED
Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and…
