Top 16 Essential Soft Skills for The Future of Work

Overview

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul" – Invictus, William Ernest Henley

In 1888, William Ernest Henley penned those immortal words in his masterpiece, Invictus. The powerful poem has since inspired countless world leaders and businesspeople to achieve personal mastery, as well as to take ownership and accountability over the results in their lives.

Indeed, studies show that an Ownership and Growth Mindset oriented team consistently outperforms competitors, is more innovative and is far more resilient during times of crisis.

When your leadership team develops the ability to choose their responses to adverse situations, and become hungry for growth, they become obsessed with the words, "Learn, Learn, Learn!"

Instead of blaming others or trying to control external circumstances, perhaps it’s time for us to understand ourselves a bit better, envision meaningful short- and long-term goals within the organization, and to develop the correct mindsets so we can take action and start adding even more value into the lives of our customers, stakeholders, and colleagues!

"Lobster Story": An interactive story guaranteed to help participants understand the importance of taking initiative and defining their goals with absolute clarity (SMART Goals)
"Times Magazine Cover" Game: Participants must imagine that they’ve made it onto the cover page of the world’s most prestigious magazine! But, what achievements did they accomplish to deserve the honour? What was their key to success? What quotes or words of advice can they give to others who aspire to be like them? All these must be visualized by the team and included on a large mock magazine cover.
Teams will have to dig deep and discover their dreams, the values, skills and character attributes they need to get there. This is a powerful exercise in visualization, and as any successful person can tell you: If you can see it in your mind, you can definitely hold it in your hand!
