Course 1

would you hire you?

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”.

Giving Feedback with Confidence

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. We may be unsure of how to frame our words so they come across as valuable and constructive rather than a source of conflict.

Course 6

Receiving Feedback with Confidence

Receiving feedback with confidence and grace can be a challenge, especially when the feedback is constructive. Many of us have a natural tendency to get defensive, justify, explain or even deny the validity of the feedback—even if we need it. Regardless of its validity, the ability to hear, assess and use feedback from others in your workplace is a valuable skill that leads to self improvement and success.
