Soft Skills Under Pressure: Thriving in High-Stakes Roles
1.25 CPD Hours
Description
In a world of constant change and rising pressure, soft skills aren’t optional, they’re your edge. A Practical Framework for Leading Yourself and Others in a Fast-Changing Landscape.
As the ground shifts under our feet, through AI, ethical grey zones, emotional pressure, and relentless change, professionals are expected to make smart decisions fast, often with incomplete information, rising pressure, and high emotional stakes.
The pressure is constant, the emotional load is real, and the space to think clearly is shrinking. We'll reframe the soft skills you've heard about - not as personality traits or buzzwords, but as core capabilities that quietly define who thrives and who burns out in high-stakes roles.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Join us to explore:
- Why these “soft” capabilities now shape your professional credibility more than ever
- The invisible forces reshaping your role (even if your title hasn’t changed)
- The unconscious habits that may be draining your energy, clarity, and leadership presence
This isn't a motivational talk. It's a wake-up call - with practical insight, grounded tools, and a human-first approach.
