And as we hold our hard skills super high in the hierarchy, we are at the same time drifting away from our essence, i.e. human interaction; we feel super uncomfortable while talking to people, articulating ourselves, dried up communication skills, high spirited teamwork, humbling towards others, Public speaking and a lot more.
To which, shouldn't there be a medium or platform that helps you with all this as this knowledge can't be taught via books or reading blogs, but via peers or professionals.
So, I had the idea to build a sort of 1-1 marketplace specifically for soft-skills, believe it or not, these are super underappreciated, yet they carry a huge role in our professional growth and personal well being.
There have been many times in the past where I wanted to improve and learn a specific soft skill. But to all that I ever come across was prerecorded videos or some professional carrying a colossal fee - but did not want to go through that. Instead, I got mentored by people in my peer group who have innate talent in this.
Here are some of those soft skills:- - Communication (Public Speaking, Clear Articulation of idea within a group/peer group, Interview, Conversation) - Persuasive Writing / Written Communication(Clarity of thoughts) - Time management - Independent Thinking(Critical Thinking)
Also your tagline "Build yourself. Build your soft skills." may be better if it's reversed. So "Build your soft skills. Build yourself." It seems like a better causality flow.
Good luck!
