Do Something Different: Soft Skills are the Difference is part of the CPIA Webinar Series.
If you’re like many executives in the coatings industry, you’ve put a lot of effort into developing the technical and business knowledge (or “hard” skills) that you need to do your job well. But your “soft” skills—the individual qualities, behaviors and attributes that make people want to work for and with you over time—are equally important to longtime success. Despite having more platforms for communication than ever before, we sometimes fail to get across our message, and soft skills are often the last thing we consider when evaluating this failure. Therefore, a few reminders are in order.
In this webinar Dennis Doran will touch on the following key topics:
• Success in business is about the relationships you build;
• Good relationships cannot happen without good communication;
• Emotions play a huge role in communication and relationship building;
• Your soft skills are visible to others in all that you say and do;
• Honest self-awareness is the foundation of your success and happiness; and
• Understanding others requires that you understand yourself.
Attendees are asked to download the Soft Skills Personal Improvement Workbook ahead of the webinar.
The webinar will also include a quick assessment that will help you better understand your level of emotional intelligence.
