Skilling me softly

Soft skills rarely get the attention they deserve, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not valuable in the workplace. More and more, organizations are recognizing how soft skills in the workplace differentiate great employees (and businesses) from good ones. Author Peggy Klaus summed it up well when she said: “soft skills get little respect but they will make or break your career.”

In many ways, soft skills are actually the hardest skills to develop (see what we did there?).
