Renaming Soft Skills to Human Skills

The Skill: Human skills, that cannot be easily replicated or taught. The ones that continue to make us relevant as technology improves and machines take over many jobs. 

This week, we’re diving into Season 2 Episode 14 of Let’s Talk About Skills Baby. In this episode host, Kelly Ryan Bailey speaks with Leonor Stjepic, CEO of Montessori Group about what she calls essential life skills or human skills. Just so we’re clear, these skills Leonor is referring to are often labeled “soft skills,” however, she is very passionate about changing that vernacular.  

In her experience hiring, she says she has never picked a candidate because of their hard skills or credentials, she picks them for who they are. 

Key Takeaway: A technical skill might help you get a job, but a human skill helps you keep the job, and ultimately grow in the job.
