• Leadership skills,
• Sales skills and presentation skills
• Customer service skills
• Interpersonal skills

It seems that the more we bury ourselves in our electronic gadgets, the tougher it is to pry our listeners out. Welcome to the dark side of the information age where too much information has clogged our ability to effectively communicate.

New jobs will be focused upon service and communication.

Be it in customer service roles or in leadership roles, those that can listen well, communicate and ”move” others into action will be in demand.
