Communication is LEADERSHIP
Until recently, the body has been the missing link in business, where the main focus has always been on intellectual knowledge and hard skills.
The HR Research Institute found that more than 85% agreed soft skills, such as communication, executive presence, team building and psychological safety, are more important to long-term success, and delivers a higher ROI than hard skills.
Developing an embodied toolkit of skills improves the individuals verbal and non-verbal communication, executive presence, emotional intelligence, personal resilience, develops psychological safety, ability to deal with conflict and adaptable to solve problems.
Investing in training of soft skills offers a greater ROI, driving loyalty as well as employee satisfaction and retention. Wise for long-term business success.
FRIDAY FOUNDER
This week, I am delighted to spotlight a great mentor of mine - even if she does not know it - Olivia Scofield. A master of presentation and speaking. She is a communication expert and founder of Spectacular Speakers.
Having met Olivia through my wish to progress my own speaking power, at First Berlin Toastmaster (a public speaking group that meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month), as a fellow Brit in Berlin I immediately gravitated towards her and was subsequently knocked off my feet when she spoke.
I admire Olivia’s direct nature and candid, no-bullshit-fluff in her pursuit to bring out the best in everyone she meets. Offering clear and helpful feedback with achievable steps from her wealth of experience and knowledge. She has laser focus and the spirit of the jaguar inside her. It’s so epic.
