7 Skills For the Future
Hosted by international author and soft skills expert Emma Sue Prince, this podcast is all about bringing 7 key skills into your everyday so that you are strong and well equipped right now and for the future. These skills are Adaptability, Critical Thinking, Empathy, Integrity, Being Proactive, Optimism and Resilience.
Our world is changing - so fast, so furiously, so ferociously - that to stand out, to be happy and to feel calm, you need to tap into your own resources and competences. Doing this puts you firmly back into the driving seat of your own life, enabling you to be happier, find and do work you love and have a true sense of purpose.
In this podcast Emma Sue gives you great tips and ideas on how you can easily strengthen these skills - skills that we all have - and as a result, live your best life. She also talks to key influences and thought leaders for their take on these skills.
