  • Oh my God! Such an excellent video on soft skills. This was one of my interview questions. I believe all Projects Manager, Director and Project Leaser must follow Soft Skills as you beautifully explained. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video!

    Your teachings are truly life changing. Mistakes in communication can seriously ruin your life. Literally yes.
  • Hi Alex! Thank you for sharing this information. I will certainly take the time to beef up on all 8. It never hurts to do refreshers, even when you think you're doing great. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing more of your content, Thanks!
  • I love this lesson! Mainly because we don’t think about the things we do and the things we’re unwilling to do that hinder our growth and success. These are great great tips to point out. 😊

  • @drchalquist
    Thanks for these. (I teach them.) The great thing about soft skills is that you can take them with you; they are always in demand, especially by hiring managers and especially now. WSJ, Forbes, and others emphasize them above hard skills.
  • Thanks for sharing. The work place really needs to hear from you, learn and praticalize all

    Great video! My main problem is working with others who have these underdeveloped soft skills. It can be a real pain to work with someone who isn't good at communicating or good at working in a team.
