People Skills
aka ‘Soft’ Skills Training Courses
People skills are often sweepingly dismissed as ‘soft’ skills, yet they can be some of the most challenging to successfully master.
“The soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff”
Roger Enrico
Vice Chairman, PepsiCo
Fortune, November 27th, 1995
Nevertheless, no business or manager can operate properly without them, so their importance should not be underestimated.
“Your career success in the workplace of today – independent of technical expertise – depends on the quality of your people skills.”
Max Messmer
Chairman & CEO, Robert Half International Inc
Such interpersonal skills, personal effectiveness skills, and other ‘soft’ skills might be better thought of as ‘durable’ skills, since they have a long lifetime of relevance and usefulness. In contrast, technical skills related to a specific area of a particular business can often be much more ‘perishable’, since technologies and processes evolve over time. Consequently, management training in the area of people skills offers an excellent return on investment for a business.
We can deliver all of the courses below either as online webinars or as classroom-based training, with durations adjustable from two hours to a full day.
