Having the time to improve other areas of your work that were once bogged down with doing what a machine has now been entrusted with can be a huge positive for both your career and your job fulfillment.\u00a0This leads to a discussion of how I can help professional clients hone in those \u2018other\u2019 skills. But first, me to distinguish between these different types of skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">With so much technology, soft skills may become harder to ignore<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Most of us understand the concepts of knowledge and technical skills. It includes an understanding of a subject area or field (e.g., dentistry, law, or carpentry) and the specific abilities that go along with it (e.g., surgical technique, or clean and level finishing of woodwork<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">). Often soft skills are not as well understood, and their importance is under-valued. Basically, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/soft-skills-hard-develop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">soft skills<\/a> are the strategies and tools that we use <em>to apply<\/em> our knowledge, skills, abilities, and experiences<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Soft skills have a huge impact on how well we do our work and they\u2019re a key difference-maker between humans and technology.\u00a0Examples of soft skills include qualities like creativity, initiative, interpersonal skills, empathy, and (behavioral) flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In my opinion, now, more than ever, employees must be exceptionally creative and rely on their soft skills to stand out against machines and\/or technology. Just as I recently wrote about the <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/hidden-consequences-online-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consequences of overly rigid online job screening<\/a> and what <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/job-search-avoid-online-screening-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">applicants in today\u2019s world have to do<\/a> to navigate around it. The same principle of creating workarounds applies to adapting to inevitable changes that are due to the implementation of technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><em>The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u2015 <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Albert Einstein<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Intelligent and forward thinking professionals are starting to realize that they need to make changes to stay fresh and have their work remain valuable and irreplaceable. This is where my expertise comes into play. Knowing that a change is required is different from <em>what<\/em> change is needed. Often, when we&#8217;re too close to a situation it&#8217;s nearly impossible to have the objectivity that&#8217;s needed to solve the entire problem. The ability to learn and change is an important quality for staying successful. Digging in one\u2019s heels by refusing to see the insurgence of machines in white-collar professions can hurt you in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The irony around &#8216;soft&#8217; and &#8216;hard&#8217; skills<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Depositphotos_5555431_m-2015.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7841\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Depositphotos_5555431_m-2015-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"soft skills wordcloud\" width=\"398\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Depositphotos_5555431_m-2015-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Depositphotos_5555431_m-2015-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Depositphotos_5555431_m-2015.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/a>Despite the alarming rate at which machines are replacing humans and\/or their meaningful careers \u2026 we aren\u2019t completely there yet. We still have time to figure out what works in our society and what doesn\u2019t. Ideally, machines will take on repetitive and less satisfying roles so that higher value, less predictable, and more nuanced work can be left behind for humans. At some point, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">it will be interesting to watch what happens to organizations who have relied too heavily on hiring employees for their hard skills and not making sure that their staff also has desirable and increasingly necessary soft skills. I predict they\u2019ll be surprised to see that <strong>hard skills are easier to delegate to technology and automated processes<\/strong>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/soft-skills-hard-develop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">soft skills are harder to develop<\/a> in their remaining staff and nearly impossible to assign to technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Most employers and hiring managers do a good job at evaluating and confirming job candidates\u2019 knowledge and technical skills.
