Raise Your Game
Brushing Up on Soft Skills: 10 Lessons from Preschool
Kristen Harris, Owner
"Beyond the technical skills and education ("hard skills") required to do a job, employers are also looking for the traits that influence how we work individually and with our teammates. These so-called soft skills include things like being able to focus, having self-control, resolving conflict, being curious or open to new experiences, and being able to negotiate differences."Brushing Up on Soft Skills: 10 Lessons from Preschool
