EP3: Redefining Soft Skills as Ultimate Boss Skills
EPISODE 3 • SEASON 1 00:22:34

What if the power to skyrocket your career was at the tip of your tongue? Strap in as we demystify soft skills or as we like to call them - boss skills - your secret weapon to navigate through social interactions, win hearts, and build productive relationships. We shed light on how these skills are not just 'soft' but vital, especially in the intense dynamic of the federal government workplace. Prepare to transform your perspective as we reveal how effective communication can be your ultimate game changer in adapting seamlessly to new environments, restructuring processes, and harmonizing diverse groups.

The cherry on top? We're unpacking the three power skills that are non-negotiable in the federal workspace - communication, collaboration, and culture. Discover the weight of verbal, nonverbal, and written communication and how you can leverage these forms to your advantage. Dive into the world of understanding different generations, relationship-building, and conflict resolution, key elements for collaborative success. Finally, we take a deep dive into the intricacies of the workplace culture - the unspoken rules, the dynamics between civilians and military personnel, and more. Get ready to supercharge your career and redefine soft skills as your ultimate boss skills!
