As an adult, it’s so funny to look back on all the things you learned in school but can’t remember or don’t use on a daily basis. On the other hand, when you are an adult, it seems like you are expected to know all of these skills for your career that school never taught you. When we talk about skills, it’s easy to only think about the tangible skills that school teaches us and limited soft skills like teamwork (throwback to all of those group projects) and communication (i.e. class projects). However, while these skills can help you excel at your job; school doesn’t teach you the essential soft skills to get a job or having a successful career. There’s so much more complexity in developing skills than just being able to do something, there is a layer of developing soft skills that have to come internally. And nurturing that part of yourself and navigating the personal growth behind developing soft skills is something school does not teach.  In today’s episode, I am going to be talking about the 3 essential soft skills you need to master for career success. Even if the school didn't teach this to you, that’s what the Money In Integrity Podcast is for!   SHOWNOTES:  The 3 Essential Soft Skills School Didn’t Teach You For Career Success Looking for more help?
