Whether you want to increase your family and friends relationship, looking for a job or would like to improve your client relations, soft skills matter.
You need to harmonize your professional expertise with those skills that make you a respectable, reliable, and personable professional.
·         Communication skills
Employers surveyed named communication skills and honesty as the most desired skills and qualities of job candidates. Communication skills have topped the list for years, and honesty and integrity have tied for the top spot.
Excellent communication skills ensure that your message is being effectively relayed.  Also remember to listen alertly, ensure understanding, and ask for feedback.  Communication is a two-way street.
·         Teamwork
Your ability to work well with others will enable you to team up successfully, a key requirement in today’s professional environment.  To be a good team member you must share ideas freely, be flexible, freely give praise, and be willing to recognize another’s success.
·         Problem solving
Clients and employers alike are looking for professionals who can resolve problems independently without too much oversight.  This involves first an ability to perceive problems that need solving.
·         Time management
Victorious individuals have mastered the art of prioritization while squelch procrastination.  Knowing where to spotlight your attention, practicing regular daily planning, and avoiding all unnecessary and unproductive meetings are a superior place to start.
·         Organization
