Up-Close with Chin Teik: Life Skills Not Soft Skills
Up-Close with Chin Teik Episodes: Life Skills not Soft Skills
Due to the daily use of problem solving, decision making, running/attending meetings, dealing with conflicts etc., we assume that everyone is good at these skills. But at the same time, these daily-use skills are intuitive, unconscious and individualistic. Thus many label these skills - "soft". "Soft" makes it harder to transfer and replicate for repeatable and predictable results.
Have you ever wondered where the term "soft skills" come from? Listen to this podcast to find out.
I prefer, use and teach life skills because these skills are hard and not easy, requiring conscious diligent practice for mastery and multiplier impact
- transfer for multiplier impact for effective collaboration and co-creation of solutions
- repeatable process for predictable results
- life application not tied to any specific field
- fundamental to an organization's culture for execution
Life skills should be taught by all companies to differentiate it's culture - "how we do things here"
