What are soft skills and what do they mean to you and the world of work? Hard skills are a no-brainer for most people.  By hard skills, I mean skills such as typing, computer repair, etc. But, there is a whole other category of skill sets you will need to be successful.  They're often called soft skills. Not because they're any less important, but because they are a bit more nimble and inconcrete. Still, they are critical to workplace - and life - success. For example, you could hire someone with all of the necessary hard skills to do a job, but if they are lacking and missing crucial soft skills, they will fail.  No doubt about it.  Let's talk about it.
