Communication is the key to your future

Communication is the key to your future. It is also the number one soft skill that employees are lacking.

Now, that’s not just me talking. It was reported in LinkedIn’s April 2018 survey, so it’s also the word of 4,000 global business professionals and leaders.

The pace of change is fueling this demand for good communicators. Therefore, with the world topsy-turvy, we are looking for people who can provide a clear path to follow.

Machines are getting smarter, and jobs will be lost. That’s not fake news. That’s an established fact. Your driverless car will not be handmade, it will be made by a robot.

However, historians, scientists, and experts say there is some good news. Work is being transformed, it is not being eliminated. So, we can leave the bots to what they are good at.

What differentiates us from them are soft skills, like empathy, the ability to inspire, grit, teamwork, creativity, innovation, and especially, the human capacity for imagination. In a data centric world where machines do much of the work, highly effective communication is the skill that will drive your success.
