The term “Soft Skills” is a hot buzz phrase right now and there is no shortage of soft skill information out there. However, the information available focuses on soft skills in the work place.
Soft skills are people skills. They are a combination of personality traits that characterize one’s relationships in a social environment. These skills can include social graces, communication abilities, personal habits, empathy, and leadership qualities.
Soft skills should kick in the moment your foot hits the floor in the morning. They should not be reserved only for work.
Applying social graces throughout your day is what is going to make your life happy. Etiquette involves behavior with other people and it is people and relationships that drive our lives.
Take time to smile, flex your soft skills and improve your relationships with people. People will remember you in a positive light.
