Power Skills in the Workplace
Tuesday 11 February 2025
9am - 12noon
Online Workshop
Power skills are crucial for effective performance and leadership, such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. I
I’m sure you’ve heard of soft skills (interpersonal abilities) and hard skills (technical knowledge), and you know the difference. However, the names tend to create an unreasonable perception of the importance of both (hard skills tend to be considered more important than soft skills).
Therefore, I would like to suggest that in future, we refer to POWER skills when we are considering what may currently be called soft skills, and we refocus, fully understand and know how to utilise power skills in the workplace.
Participants on this half day interactive workshop will:
· Understand what power skills are and how they improve the effectiveness of everyone in the workplace.
· Recognise how power skills interact with, and enhances other power skills and hard skills.
· Be able to clarify and prioritise the power skills they need to develop.
· Discuss ways to develop them.
· Set some power skills goals.
