Soft Skills 101: Life Skills for a Digital Age
Welcome to Soft Skills 101: Life Skills for a Digital Age, sponsored by the Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network and True North Homeschool Academy! My name is Lisa Nehring and I will be your host, with regular appearances by my husband, Dr. David Nehring. Together we have homeschooled our 5 kids for the past 27 years, and are passionately committed to resourcing and connecting fellow homeschoolers and Christians with the tools and resources necessary to navigate a complex world in need of a Savior. Listen in as we share a little about ourselves in this introductory audio!
Each month we will focus on a particular soft skill, including the “4 C’s of Education*” such as
- Team work/ Collaboration*
- Integrity
- Critical thinking*
- Creativity*
- Work Ethic
- Leadership Skills
- Time & Distraction Management Skills
- Flexibility and Adaptability
- Communication*
It’s a well-known adage in the business world that you are hired for your hard skills and fired for your soft skills. It might be a well-known adage, but what exactly are hard and soft skills?
- Hard skills are easily measurable and quantifiable skills, such as welding or heart surgery.
- Soft skills are the personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively, harmoniously and productively with other people.
Over the course of each month we will:
- Define specific aspects of the soft skill we are focusing on
- Dive deep into how to implement these skills in your own life
- Offer practical tips, helps, curriculum and books.
- Interview guest experts and learn from those who are implementing these skills in their own lives.
- Provide you with show notes that equip you with awesome resources
