Humanity Working

An Announcement, and What are Soft Skills?

BillionMinds Season 5 Episode 36


Changes are coming to Humanity Working. In this episode, Paul and Matt share what’s next: a new format designed for the way we all actually listen and learn. Every Tuesday, we will be dropping "Quick Fixes"—short, focused episodes that tackle one idea at a time, from mentoring and networking to resilience and adaptability.
Continue to look out for interviews as bonus episodes from time to time, but Quick Fixes will keep you learning in a fast, practical, and built-for-real-life format.Five Key Learnings:

  • So-called soft skills—adaptability, resilience, empathy, communication—are anything but soft; they’re the core of effective, modern work.
  • People use many labels for them: human skills, durable skills, power skills—each reflecting their long-term value.
  • These skills are hard to categorize because they cross boundaries between personality, behavior, and capability.
  • Unlike technical skills, they aren’t learned once; they develop through reflection, feedback, and deliberate daily practice.
  • Quick Fix will explore these skills in short, actionable episodes to make building them a daily habit.
