Presentation 2

Developing Soft Skills in Times of Change

Wherever you look—the World Economic Forum’s ‘Future of Jobs’ Report, Royal Bank of Canada, McKinsey, etc.—it is becoming increasingly clear that to succeed in the workplace of the future, soft skills must be developed. Especially for leaders. As leaders, we need to be better active listeners, problem solvers, critical thinkers, dynamic speakers, managers of time, and learners. We need this for employees, as well.

The problem, though, is that we don’t even have a way to assess soft skills, let alone how to improve them. How can we measure what we can’t set a baseline for and don’t know how to measure?

In this presentation, Eric Termuende will walk attendees through the current and future working environment to build a better sense of trust, belonging, and better communication.

You’ll learn:

• 3 best practices to boost soft skill development amongst team members
• How to proactively create a sense of belonging in the workplace
• Unlock the secret to better feedback practices
• How to mitigate poor short turnover and high tenure
