Three soft skills to set you up for success

CNBC’s Success Tip of the Week: The “three Vs” can help you get ahead in your career – being visible, vulnerable and verbal.

Highly successful CEOs have well-developed soft skills, says workplace expert Bonnie Low-Kramen — and so do high-performing employees.

? Vulnerable: Opening up to your colleagues doesn’t mean telling them every detail about your personal life, Low-Kramen explains. Sharing a little bit — enough to identify some common interests — can go a long way.
