What’s in a name? Soft Skills – Part 2
Soft skills is a real contradiction in terms! Soft skills are the most difficult to acquire and by calling them ‘soft skills’, we don’t convey just how difficult they are to develop. Two weeks ago I put out a poll seeking ideas for a better term than soft skills and...

But it’s not just about improving self awareness. We need to work on improving it when the chips are down, stress is high and emotions are frayed. It’s then that we’re in real danger of falling short of our own standards of kindness. Access my conversation with Radhika Nair on The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast
