    You can't just rely on your hard skills. Technical skills aren't enough to be a great leader. The really successful leaders master the skills most people ignore. Your expertise might get you in the door. But soft skills decide how far you'll go. Here's the reality: 92% of leaders say soft skills matter as much or more than job skills. Yet most of us never intentionally work on them. Let's change that. 8 soft skills that will change your life: 1. Emotional Intelligence: ↳ Master your triggers before they master you ↳ Build relationships that last ↳ Turn conflicts into connections 2. Curiosity: ↳ Ask questions others won't ↳ See what others miss ↳ Turn problems into possibilities 3. Optimism: ↳ Balance hope with action ↳ Keep teams moving forward ↳ Turn setbacks into comebacks 4. Adaptability: ↳ Bend without breaking ↳ Turn change into growth ↳ Stay flexible while others freeze 5. Taking Initiative: ↳ Act first ↳ Add value without being asked ↳ Build momentum through action 6. Storytelling: ↳ Make your message stick ↳ Turn data into decisions ↳ Inspire action through words 7. Feedback Skills: ↳ Give feedback that energizes ↳ Receive criticism with grace ↳ Turn feedback into fuel 8. Conscious Leadership: ↳ Lead from awareness, not autopilot ↳ Build trust through authenticity ↳ Create environments where others thrive The truth? These skills aren't "soft" at all. They're the hardest to master. And the most valuable to have. Which one will you develop first? ___ 🤝 Learning happens better together. ♻️ Repost this to help others.

  • This project, under the leadership of Joshua Williams and others, should be replicated nationally. It does what all public educators want to do.

    A huge shoutout to Joshua Williams, Business Specialist with Decide DeKalb, for his inspiring presentation at the CTECS (Career and Technical Education Consortium) Conference last week! He shared two transformative initiatives—MADE in DeKalb and Industry-Ready DeKalb—that are revolutionizing workforce by bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience. These programs equip students with practical skills, empower teachers with valuable resources, and provide employers with a highly qualified workforce. Thanks also to our educational and industry partners for their dedication to creating a stronger, more connected DeKalb County. If you are a DeKalb County-based business looking to learn more workforce training or being a part of our Industry Ready DeKalb program contact Joshua Williams today at jiwilliams@decidedekalb.com! #DecideDeKalb #CTEC #WorkforceDevelopment #Teachers #DeKalbCounty
