Chart Learning Solutions presents critical courses for soft skills in business and leadership
In business, soft skills are often what will secure your way to your next promotion or career opportunity. ODEM has partnered with Chart Learning Solutions, a global learning company that provides dedicated courses for improving skills needed for effective leadership, sales and customer service. You can find their courses in our program catalogue.
Soft skills are what great leaders possess. Leaders wield influence through thoughtful communication and by understanding how to give the person across the table what they want. These are almost like intuitive talents because they revolve around a genuine desire to produce an outcome that serves all parties involved.
In an article about the difference between hard and soft skills, The Balance Careers explains, “Soft skills are the personal attributes, personality traits, inherent social cues, and communication abilities needed for success on the job. Soft skills characterize how a person interacts in [their] relationships with others.”
Some say these skills can be hard to teach, but that’s exactly what Chart Learning Solutions does with their wide ranging selection of online courses.
Chart Learning Solutions has developed full programs for leadership, sales and customer service. Here, I’ve listed out various jobs that these skills apply to, as well as a few of the course types to give you an idea of the depth of these course programs:
