Soft Skills Training in Chennai
What is Soft Skills Training? But before that is there something called Hard skills training. Yes, there is… But before going into these, let me narrate this story…
Two friends, Ramu and Somu, were walking in a forest. Suddenly they saw a lion running towards them. While Somu froze, Ramu took out a pair of running shoes and started wearing them. Somu got confused and asked. “ what are you doing? The lion is running towards us and you are wearing running shoes… You think you can run faster than the lion?”
Ramu said, “ No… I don’t want to run faster than the lion… All I want to do is run faster than YOU…”
Yes, Ramu knows as the Lion will hunt the slow runner and all he needs to do is to run faster than Somu for escaping the lion…
This is a Metaphorical Story… The forest represents the world we live in and the Lion represents the competition. If you want to beat the competition you need to have a pair of running shoes.
Yes… The running shoes represent “ Soft Skills “ or “ People Skills”. The Hard skills are Technical skills that you gather from school or college. Soft skills are people skills, which simply mean how effectively you deal with people.
The Soft skills include a gamut of specific skills like :
Communication skills
Rapport Building
Influencing and Persuading skills
Presentation skills
People profiling and behavioral flexibility
Emotional Intelligence
Negotiation skills
Objection handling skills
The next important question is where you learn them. Not in schools and not much in colleges. You learn them through Modelling ( Mostly unconsciously ) from Authority figures and from people who inspire you and from your social circles.
Maybe that is enough and maybe not… Based on the outcomes you get, like your level of comfort with people around you, your ability to effectively communicate with them and influence and motivate them, and the fact that are you able to get an income/ profit/ career growth, you are worthy of?
And the good news is these soft can be learned… Easily, Effectively and Powerfully. We at Excel HR, are a team of Trainers and Coaches, who can help you learn all these essentials soft skills easily and effectively.
Remember the Technical Skills can get you a Job. But it is the Soft Skills that will make you climb the corporate ladder.
