Human skills are the skills that help people work better together, and stay indispensable in an ever-changing world.
The good news is, they’re not something you either have or don’t have – they can be learnt.
With 92% of hiring managers considering soft skills equally or more important than hard skills when hiring, they play a huge role in today’s workplaces.
Let’s Talk Human Skills combines research-backed ideas, real stories, and practical tools to help people build the 7 essential human skills that make work, and working together, better.
