Soft skills are the future

For people who want to make an impact in business and in life, two skillsets stand out above all others:

Your ability to work in teams and show leadership
Your ability to learn, adapt and grow

Why? There are two reasons: first, because we’re in a global knowledge economy, where value is created by people working in teams. Even expert “top guns” need high-order communication skills or their ideas won’t get taken up.

And second, because we are in a world of accelerating change: complex, volatile and uncertain. To thrive we need to enhance our ability to learn, grow and adapt quickly.

These “soft” skills lie at the heart of both the biggest problems and the best opportunities facing you and the enterprises you work for. Employers actively recruit for these abilities: they know that technical ability matters but soft skills matter more. Futurists and AI experts say they will be needed far into the future. Unlike technical skills with a short shelf-life, soft skills never go out of date. You take them from role to role as you build your career. Read More

What are the key soft skills for a high performing workplace?

Communication

Listening to what other people care about with empathy and understanding. Speaking to produce a shared future.

Collaboration

Building trust and solving problems as a team using interdependent thinking and appropriate language.

Mindfulness

Cultivating the ability to be open, present and connected: self-aware and aware of our effect on others.

How are these key skills learned?

Through decades of work in the coaching and consulting fields, we have sought out the solution for training people in both the dispositions and skills that produce breakthrough results in their teamwork and leadership. And based on the results of our program, we know we’ve got it right.

People need to engage in these key practices:

Learning conversations with others
Observing others and themselves in action
Recurrent, intensive practice
Reflective thinking
Receiving coaching
Giving and receiving feedback with peers

How do we do it?

We’ve created a program that brings together the leading research and practices in brain science, management consulting and learning design, which is delivered in a way that is intellectually and emotionally stimulating, and is delivered completely online.

Live-action coaching in a multi user online gaming environment provides the unique opportunity for participants to practice real-life work team situations in a safe immersive environment, where they receive real time feedback from expert coaches.

The result is effective, rapid learning of skills and dispositions that can otherwise take years to achieve.

We get results ...

Danny is responsible for providing technical training and development to over 3000 software engineers who work on developing and deploying Autodesk’s class-leading products.

“In several groups where we have deployed V-Teamwork, we have seen it as a very effective catalyst to accelerate the development of leadership and teaming skills in our global engineering teams. I have seen participants rapidly develop deep insights about themselves, and about how to work more effectively with others.”
