What are human skills? What is soft skills training?

Human or soft skills are the qualities that are unique to human beings: creativity, intuition, self-awareness, communication, flexibility, compassion, empathy, emotional intelligence, and many more. Our online soft skills training encourages you to tap into these abilities. You’ll learn how you can use them to feel more successful and fulfilled at work, at home, and in society.

Why are soft skills important?

Formal education focuses on academic knowledge and intellectual abilities at the expense of soft skills. Right now, we face some of the biggest challenges in human history: a planet degraded for profit, rampant inequality, mistrust of institutions, widespread mental health issues, and low levels of happiness across socio-economic groups. By promoting human or soft skills, we promote personal growth and lay the foundations for a brighter collective future.

What is a humanavist?

Our community members take their name from an amalgamation of the words ‘human’ and ‘activist’. As the name suggests, we’re a community on a mission for positive human transformation.
