Human Skills Aren’t Soft Skills

Over the years, I have taught many "soft skills", such as confidence, presentation, and communication skills, and I continue to do so. But I've always struggled to see them as "soft".

Lately, I've noticed some people referring to them as "human skills", and I think this fits far better.

Skills like leadership, communication, empathy, and active listening aren't just nice-to-haves; they are essential. They shape environments where people feel valued and can thrive.

These skills were never soft.
