There is such a thing as hard skills, and soft skills. Hard skills are technical skills that can be taught such as riding a bike or driving a car. I can be taught how to perform brain surgery. Soft skills are typically innate and very difficult to teach someone. They are usually something you are born with. At the very top of the most important soft skills is none other than the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. You have to be able to understand when a message is being received as you are delivering it. If certain words said aren’t understood, you have to find different words or even a different perspective to convey meaning. So, my point is this, learn your hard skills, but spend equally or even more time on your soft skills.
