>> Trevor Muir - this is exceptional stuff!!! And very timely, as I am currently writing a similar (not the same) blog within the outdoor adventure Industry. This information is also practical and so relevant for so many industries. I love that your style of this material 'stimulates' the critical thinking (within) that is so lacking in so many Industries, or at worse is not even encouraged. Where quality staff members are NOT listened to, not validated, or at worse either ignored or tragically discounted (especially in front of their peers), they simply resign & leave. I can see that over the entire time of my years of service within varied professional roles, that those Managers/Directors that I truly valued, respected, and worked 'with' instead of against - were all those individuals that had HIGH Emotional Intelligence. Another interesting observation, was they had a heart, a brain & a soul. "Legends" in all of their subordinate staff's view, but never in their own view! This is what we call, REAL Leadership! by Jenny & Andrew
This is awesome! As an adult educator, I'd love to be a part of the change that needs to happen. I stumbled on your video while developing an online program about "ESSENTIAL skills." I'd love to hear more, so I subscribed.
It matches my thinking process that they should teach social skill and get the grade that would show that they can know how to be friends with others or not, so it is an emotional skill that is a soft skill, so all skills are important so it will make the person into a whole, not a part which it is connected that you can measure and see, but unseen and unmeasured like emotional skill, it would be good to be teach in all school and work if can. So, it will not be blamed on the school that people have a problem to other things, but themself that they cause the problem like getting fire, getting angry, and other stuff, well, it can be still their fault like getting angry, to hurt someone, so the difference between getting fire and to hurt people because of negative motive to hurt people is different in emotional action that is the part for hurt people is negative action which it is connect emotional skill so can adopt and not get negative emotions which cause a problem so it is their fault because it is active on their part that they know, so it is a higher level of primary than getting fire from a job or anything because they don't have to motivate so it is the lower level of primary that it is less active, so the soft skill as essentials skill is an active skill, not memory skill which you can measure but an active skill that matches a person. So, can add for inner active to outer active that is outer active is depends how well you are on the test and other stuff, but inner active is your adoption process and your relationship to all things to outward. So, same as soft to hard skill.
Truth is, "soft skills" are used interchangeably with "essential skills, business skills, transferrable skills, 21st Century Skills", they are by no means considered to be "secondary" to hard skills ... something you might not remember or not born when these were the skills that parents were primarily responsible for teaching to their children, but now, it seems that this responsibility is being shifted to becoming the responsibility of the teachers. I can go on about this, but I will leave you with this. Yes, millennials lack these soft skills but the question is WHY. This is the more important questions to answer, rather than to criticize the classroom or public school system. WHY is this generation lacking in this area Trevor? Why were the generations of earlier years more groomed, well mannered, patience, kind, respectful, able to communicate with other and be thinkers? WHY has this change?
That has not been my experience. What I see Millennials get fired for is: 1. Inability to understand that working 7 to 3 means actually being there and ready to go to work at 7. 2. Being scheduled to work means you are there, and do not take off because you have a hangover, or your dog died, or your buddy came in from out of town. 3. We pay you for it because it is work. If it was all fun and games, you would pay us for the privilege of being there. Because it is work and we are paying you, YES it will sometimes be uncomfortable, or distasteful, our outright difficult. That is the reason you get a paycheck,. Teach them that first please.
Trevor, you are spot on, as usual. I enjoy sharing your videos with my educator friends. I’m a retired librarian. Keep up the great work work.
Thank you Curt!!
