Description

Soft Skills. These are the traits, characteristics, habits, and skills needed to survive and thrive in the modern work world. Soft skills aren't usually taught in school, but you will learn them all here in this course. Are you someone that other people in your organization and industry like to work with, collaborate with, and partner with? Are you seen as a valuable asset to any new project that comes along?

This soft skills training course will teach you how to develop the skills that can make the difference between a lackluster career that tops out at middle management versus one that lands you in the executive suite or wherever you define career success. So many soft skills seem like common sense at first glance, but they are not commonly applied by most workers. This soft skills training course will give you an edge over your competitors. It will also make your job, your career and your life more rewarding and enjoyable.   

What are you waiting for? This soft skills course is designed to be completed in just one or two lunch breaks. So lesson number one is, use your free time to constantly learn new skills rather than just checking the sports scores or celebrity news at lunch. There is nothing hard when it comes to learning soft skills, as long as you have a willingness to try new things and start right now.   

Your academic degrees and tech skills are not enough for long-term career success. You need to become excellent in your soft skills.   

Note: The instructor has recently added 5 soft skills/communications skills books in the resource section of the first lecture for those who wish for additional study materials.

What will students achieve or be able to do after taking this course?

  • Understand how to be a great communicator

  • Become a stronger listener

  • Appear professional to co-workers and bosses of all ages

  • Avoid common career blunders that often end careers

  • Manage expectations for bosses and colleagues

  • Position yourself for promotions

  • Make technology your asset, even if you are afraid of technology

  • Avoid the Not My Job Syndrome

  • Develop EQ to Match Your IQ

  • Develop leadership qualities

Please note: this is not a computer-generated soft skills course with lots of data slides and a robot voice. This is taught by TJ Walker, a real human being, talking and sharing with you directly (because one essential soft skill is the ability to speak directly to people and not hide behind computers and graphics).

Here is what Udemy students say about this course:

"I am currently in a consultant role and so far in this course, everything that is being taught is benefitting me greatly. I do feel that this course is not only something that can be applied within a set role but in various aspects of one's life. Highly recommend this course so far." Lee Quickfal

"I liked your enthusiasm which kept me going onto the videos. I enjoyed watching them and performing tasks in between, provided by you, helped me to rectify the previous mistakes." Srsty Verma

" I feel like this is a good course regardless of your job description. As a registered nurse, I am always looking for ways to improve my communication and interpersonal skills. I have also been called upon to lead and/or provide teaching to other nurses and personal care attendants. this helped me improve my public speaking skills. It improved my interview skills for jobs I may apply for in the future. " Mary Lentz

" The instructor has a pleasant tone of voice, is very easy to understand, and uses clear examples to explain the subjects, the courses are very long, but the videos are short so is possible to take a break at any time. All the tips and advice are more valid and useful than ever. " Yenifer Julio Perez

" Very informative and greatly improve my soft skill knowledge. The course fees is very reasonable. I will recommend your course to my friends. Thanks. " Cheng Sin Yong

No technical difficulties: audio works, CC AVAILABLE in multiple languages including English, speaker talks conversationally without lots of sentence fillers( e.g. um, ah’s, like, you know what I mean…). Lecture information is relevant to course. Finally speaker is motivated about topic, and in turn, his delivery makes subject matter riveting.

This is the concise common sense "bible" of work ethics that is essential to understand--but isn't easily figured out by many.

The importance of soft skills in personal and professional development cannot be overstated. However, it is essential to scrutinize the quality and effectiveness of the resources available. In this critique, we will examine a particular soft skills course that falls short in two significant areas: the superficiality of its recommendations and the excessive length of its videos. These issues not only hinder the course's ability to deliver valuable content but also compound the problem by wasting an excessive amount of time. Superficial Recommendations: One of the primary shortcomings of this soft skills course lies in the superficiality of its recommendations. Soft skills, by nature, require nuanced understanding and application. However, this course merely scratches the surface, offering recommendations that are overly basic and fail to provide the necessary depth for true skill development. a. Lack of Practical Examples: The course fails to provide concrete, real-world examples to illustrate the application of these soft skills in different contexts. Without practical scenarios, learners may struggle to comprehend the relevance and adaptability of the skills being taught. b. Insufficient Guidance: The course lacks detailed guidance on how to develop and refine specific soft skills. It overlooks the fact that acquiring and honing soft skills often involves a complex and ongoing process. The absence of comprehensive strategies deprives learners of the necessary tools to cultivate these skills effectively. Excessive Video Length: Another major drawback of this soft skills course is the excessive length of its videos. While the intent may be to cover a wide range of topics comprehensively, the course inadvertently creates a counterproductive learning experience by burdening learners with an overwhelming amount of content. a. Time Consumption: With over 600 videos, the cumulative time required to watch the entire course becomes unreasonably lengthy. The course fails to recognize that learners have limited time availability, often juggling multiple responsibilities. This excessive video length becomes a significant obstacle to completing the course efficiently. b. Lack of Consolidation: By fragmenting the content into numerous videos, the course disrupts the natural flow of learning and comprehension. The absence of consolidated modules or chapters makes it challenging for learners to grasp the interconnectedness of different soft skills and their applications. Consequently, retention and application of the material may suffer. Conclusion: While the importance of soft skills cannot be understated, this particular soft skills course disappoints with its superficial recommendations and excessive video length. The lack of depth in the course's content inhibits learners from acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, while the unnecessarily long videos impede efficient learning and retention. For a soft skills course to be truly effective, it must provide practical, in-depth guidance and respect learners' time constraints by presenting the material in a concise and well-structured manner.

While the content was good, the presentation and sheer volume of videos was cumbersome and a bit clunky.

My primary goal associated with participating in this training was to gain introspection of communication skills and interpersonal communication. So far the information has been informative.
