Sharpen Your Soft Skills to Drive Your Career to the Next Level with the IBM People and Soft Skills for Professional and Personal Success Specialization on Coursera.org

Share this post:

Research by Harvard University, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center has concluded that 85% of job success comes from having well developed soft skills and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills). Honing these soft skills can make an impact in your career, regardless of your current level or experience.

IBM’s new People and Soft Skills for Professional and Personal Success, launched on Coursera.org, will teach you ways to be a better communicator, creative thinker and a better public speaker. In this specialization, there are 6 courses that are short in length, but full of high-quality lessons and real-life examples! Upon completion of this specialization, you’ll be able to:

  • Solve problems using creative and critical thinking
  • Deal with interpersonal challenges with a controlled and focused approach
  • Collaborate effectively with teams
  • Deliver quality work and experiences to clients
  • Create and deliver effective presentations and communicate impactfully

You’ll also receive an IBM badge and a Coursera certificate to help your profiles and resume stand out from the competition. Get started today with mastering powerful people and soft skills that will help you achieve professional success!
