Essential Skills and Durable Skill Professional, Career, Leadership, and Talent Development Training Programs

Critical Skills for Today’s Talent Landscape

“Soft Skills,” such as communication, problem-solving, collaboration, networking, relationship-building, navigating difficult conversations, strategy, creativity, leadership, emotional intelligence, resilience, personal branding, and resourcefulness hold immense value in our careers, our organizations, and our economy. They are critical to professional development that allows professionals to learn, grow, evolve, and flex with organizational and economic change.

According to Rohan Rajiv, Director of Product Management at LinkedIn, “Foundational soft skills have become even more important given the rise of remote and autonomous work, and are growing in importance across industries, levels and work environments. In fact, these soft skills were featured in 78% of jobs posted globally over the last three months.” (Forbes, 2022)

Soft skills have remained relevant and desirable for employers, and for employees who are navigating professional challenges and building their meaningful careers. So much so, that they’re now being considered “durable skills” or “essential skills”, because there’s nothing “soft” about them, other than the way they help people move with ease in professional contexts.
