Work 'Bonus' No One Tells You About: Soft Skills

Hey there,

Have you been enjoying the rains?

Monsoon rains are very crucial as they transform our landscapes and boost the flora and fauna around the world. Just as the rains nurture the earth, soft skills boost our professional environment, fostering growth and collaboration – Let’s find out how!

Welcome to SHE Knows The Best!, a monthly newsletter by SHEROES that spans all things women: Growth, motivation, safe space, career, relationships, mental health, knowledge sharing, sisterhood, and so much more. Get ready to #TakeCharge of your personal and professional life with the SHEROES Tribe!

Hard technical skills are important to every workforce and profession. Yet cultivating essential soft skills is an added bonus that complements and helps better them.?

MARSbySHEROES recognizes the profound impact these subtle yet powerful skills have on both personal and professional success. As many as 80% of working women in India take career breaks, of which 45% is due to childcare and personal commitments. When it’s time to make a comeback, many hesitate, often letting their time away foster doubts regarding work skills.

Let’s change that perspective and leave no room for doubts: The skills you've perfected during your career break—empathy, patience, and multitasking—are in high demand! Restart here.

What’s more? The SHEROES Tribe showed up in numbers at our exclusive soft skills-focused webinar with Ranjini Manian , Founder-Chair at ChampionWoman . This not only reiterated the desire of many to ace in their careers but also highlighted their #TakeCharge spirit to keep learning, adapting, and growing. Marching on the SHEROES way!

Continuing to make efforts to step out of one’s comfort zone is also a feat that can be alluded to as a soft skill. Whether it’s Vaidehi stepping up to record an #OOTD or Rekha sharing her musings on life before the camera through poetry—Such openness to new experiences and self-confidence to dabble with the unfamiliar are a mark of the SHEROES community. Join us, pick up your camera, and record away with #SHEROESVlogs – Explore now.

Continue to explore, open doors to opportunities that await you, and never stop being curious. It’s well within your right to never settle for less.?

See you next time!
