What is soft skills training and why is it so important? Soft skill training focuses on the person, not the service they offer. We see the importance of everyone feeling like they are being seen and heard – which is sometimes overlooked in the workplace. Soft skills characterize who you and your team are, it defines how one interacts within the workplace and focus on who people are, as opposed to what they are trained in.

WHAT DOES THIS COVER?
– Mental health & Resilence
– Managing difficult conversations
– Failure comes before resilience
