Individual Soft Skills Training
What is personal development? Have you ever wondered why everybody is talking about it these days?
Well, let's think about what you need in your life. Let's see, my guess is that you would like to improve how you feel about yourself, to be happy and have meaningful relationships, right? Simple enough it seems, yet, most of us sabotage ourselves at some point or another.
Why would we do that? We don't generally do it on purpose, but our subconscious mind, which is based on past experiences, takes control, and pretty much screws us over. We can become aware of the mistakes we make, probably even understand why we make them, but guess what, after some time, we repeat these same mistakes all over again.
Feeling hopeless yet? Don't worry, because it happens even to the best of us. Where you can make a difference is by having someone guide you away from these tendencies and help you navigate the road to a more meaningful life with fewer setbacks.
Think about athletes: why do you think they have a coach? Why do you think tennis players keep looking at their coach after every shot? Do they need that much technical advice? Absolutely not. What they need is the validation from their coach whenever they do good or mess up, because their coach knows them so well - as when the player gets upset, how he reacts and how he can regain his focus. The player knows that too. But this relationship is special because it is reassuring, comforting and encouraging.
Do you feel like you are missing this kind of reassurance, comfort and encouragement when things go wrong, when you lose confidence and trust in your ability to navigate life? Would you feel more at peace if you had someone guiding you and help you realize how worthwhile you are even on your bad days?
What do these bad days look like?
- Do you fear facing something or someone?
- Do you lack confidence?
- Is there any challenge you would like to overcome but you can't?
- Are you having a hard time with your boss? Spouse? Client?
Do you know what you need to get out of these bad days and feel more confident in your life?
SOFT SKILLS, OF COURSE!
"What skills?! Soft, like they are not important?"
Quite the contrary, they are essential to your life!
But you've never learned them at school because your teachers hadn't been trained to teach Soft Skills in their curriculum.
Imagine that you are a very competent engineer, you have spent so much time studying, building a solid career and gaining a lot of respect among your peers for your academic research and findings. They like you and respect you so much that they invite you to speak at a conference. You go there, very proud of your accomplishments, feeling fulfilled about your career and the recognition you are getting for your work. You start speaking and people immediately start yawning. They stop caring about you, start chatting with their neighbor, some are even leaving the room. "How could they be so rude and disrespectful? I'm a renowned engineer and my accomplishments have changed the field of engineering forever."
What in the world happened?!
Unfortunately, you are only good with technical skills - your HARD SKILLS - but you are missing the necessary SOFT SKILLS to make you act like a pleasant, inspiring and fulfilled human being.
But that's not your fault, nobody has ever taught you how to feel comfortable when meeting new people, interact with them in a natural way or speak in public in a clear and efficient manner.
Confidence. Non-verbal communication. Storytelling. Networking. Persistence. Emotional intelligence. Adaptability. THESE ARE ALL SOFT SKILLS, and the list goes on and on.
See how important they are in today's society? Soft skills are the other side of the coin of Hard skills: you need both to make you a complete and fulfilled individual.
You can be amazingly good at your job, but completely incompetent when communicating with other people. On the other hand, you can feel very comfortable navigating the social scene, but have no solid knowledge to share with others.
Here are a few examples of where Soft Skills come handy:
- To help you set the right goals and achieve them
- To manage your time better, meet deadlines at work and not make your friends wait for you
- To help you stay motivated in all circumstances and stick to your life vision
- To become more convincing, inspiring and entertaining when speaking in a meeting
- To help you approach people you don't know and create meaningful conversations and relationships
In a way, Soft Skills help you better work and communicate with others since they are so essential in your professional career, across all jobs and industries.
Soft Skills make you a better communicator, leader and team player, they are all the skills you need today to grow in such a fast-paced and global business environment!
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOU MASTER THESE SKILLS?
I have been working as a coach and independent trainer for the last 7 years.
Not only that, I have lived in 5 countries and learned 6 languages.
Talk about a different type of life compared to a 9-5 routine, as living in the same city and working for the same company for years on.
And how do you think I managed this kind of lifestyle? Starting a fresh new life in a different country, language and culture each and every time. Finding ways to make money in a foreign environment. What about making friends and dating? Do you picture yourself doing that?
So how did I do that?
Well, I had to be resourceful, creative, resilient, open-minded and had to express myself clearly with strangers. All of these are, you've guessed it, SOFT SKILLS!
And these years of trying, stumbling, failing and getting back on my feet taught me the importance of sharpening my own soft skills. Because I have experienced all the situations listed above as much as you have. And that's why I developed an efficient methodology to incorporate this tool set of soft skills in my professional career and personal life as I faced all these situations.
I have turned this knowledge and experience into an expertise that will help you conquer your fears and master the necessary skills to lift up your life and become a more balanced person. The ultimate goal of these sessions is to accomplish a journey that will help you fire up your professional career and overcome all the personal challenges your life has put in front of you up to now.
