Soft Skills are Job Skills
There are project managers out there who can run circles around me when it comes to theory or technical knowledge.
➖ My spreadsheets aren’t fancy.
➖ I don’t always use the right terminology (KPI vs. OKR, anyone?).
➖ And while I have read the PMBOK, there are some things I’m still scratching my head over.
⭐ But you know what I do amazingly well?
Things like:
✅ Listening.
✅ Following up.
✅ Getting things done.
✅ Organizing my thoughts.
✅ Helping the team stay focused.
✅ Building a culture of safety and trust.
✅ Coming up with possibilities, solutions.
✅ Lightening the mood when it’s appropriate.
✅ Respecting the time, effort, and space of others.
✅ And pretty much anything related to feelings. I’m here for that.
I want to remind you that these are skills too.
And even though they can’t easily be measured on a test, they are important to your success.
Don't underestimate yourself 💫
Where do you excel?
