Life Skills 101: Life Skills for a Digital Age
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 are hard and soft skills?
- Hard skills, such as welding or heart surgery, are easily measurable and quantifiable.
- Soft skills are the personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively, harmoniously, and productively with other people.
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 five 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.
Each month we will focus on a particular soft skill, including the “4 C’s of Education*” such as
- Teamwork/ Collaboration*
- Integrity
- Critical thinking*
- Creativity*
- Work Ethic
- Leadership Skills
- Time & Distraction Management Skills
- Flexibility and Adaptability
- Communication*
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 implementing these skills in their own lives.
- Provide you with show notes that equip you with awesome resources
- Join our ongoing discussions at our FB groups:
