In today’s digital world, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. While it offers many benefits, such as staying connected with friends and family, networking opportunities, and entertainment, excessive or unhealthy use can negatively impact mental health and essential soft skills.

Teamwork is powerful as it can tap into people’s individual strengths, collect diverse perspectives and ideas, and get projects across the finish line more efficiently.

Nowadays, an increasing number of people point out that “soft skills” should not be characterized as “soft” anymore. The main 2 categories for skills people have in the workplace are the following: hard skills and human skills.

Being aware of our emotions is crucial for making decisions that truly benefit us. Developing emotional awareness involves taking time to reflect on and keep track of our feelings.

Amid growing recognition of soft skills and their role in business, a deeper understanding of the different aspects of intelligence can help working individuals recognize their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as make better decisions, communicate more effectively, adapt to changing circumstances, and drive innovation through their work.

COVID made us adapt to a new reality in order to continue be productive even in our homes, and many of us developed skills we didn’t know we had. However, one skill will be the most sought after in the near future and that is Emotional intelligence.
