What you’ll learn
Skills you’ll gain
Your hard skills may have gotten you the job, but your non-technical skills (soft skills) will drive your success. In this course, taught by former journalist and host of the podcast “Hardcore Soft Skills” Yadi Caro, you’ll receive a comprehensive understanding of the skills needed to succeed on a team. Each section covers specific tactics you can use and build upon. Yadi will first dive into the importance of self-awareness and networking. You’ll then learn various aspects of communication including how to become a better listener, speaker, presenter, and writer. You’ll learn how to achieve maximum productivity in a team setting. Yadi will cover conflict and explain how it can be productive. Upon completing this course you’ll understand how working with others provides you with the knowledge of your teammates, the intricacies of giving and receiving feedback, and how beneficial teamwork is to a successful career.
