Would You Hire You?
Duration 75 minutes
In today’s workplace, qualifications are not enough to get ahead. People tend to focus on the technical and occupational skills, education and training required to qualify for the job they’re seeking, but while these “hard skills” may land interviews, they don’t necessarily lead to job placement or advancement. That’s why you need the very best “soft skills”.
In this course, which includes a personal downloadable Soft Skills Workbook, you will learn to:
- Identify the personal qualities—or “soft skills”—that impact your performance in the workplace
- Become aware of your personal soft skills profile to determine how they are hindering/helping your success
- Design a plan to improve your soft skills and learn to align them with your career objectives

Dealing With Difficult People

Giving Feedback with Confidence
Duration 45 minutes
Many people find the process of giving feedback difficult, especially at work. We may not know exactly what to say or how to say it or we may feel worried about the potentially negative reactions of the other person.
