The person with this soft skill is also able to connect with people for the long term. The emphasis for this person is on the interdependencies within relationships. A real life example would be outreach. So let's take a look at some of the specific skills included within this category. Now, if we bear in mind as was noted here on the first slide, that the emphasis is on the interdependencies within relationships for relationship building, we will see that that is the thread that runs through this particular list. Okay, the emphasis on the interdependencies within relationships.

So, on the surface, it seems pretty straightforward, but I just like to go through and quickly highlight the finer points contained within each of these soft skills under this category. Okay, so we have networking, teamwork, personal branding, conflict resolution, And relationship management. Okay. Now with regards to networking, networking is the ability to step forward and interact confidently with others. Okay, so the willingness to step outside of a group and introduce yourself to others in a confident way. Moving on to teamwork, the person who has the skill of working well within a team is able to recognize their role within a group.

And they're willing to play that role in a supportive way. Okay. All right. Now we'll move on to personal branding. This soft skill is about being able to quietly let others know who you are at your core and what they can expect from you. And I use the word quietly because this soft skill can be expressed subtly through personal style execution of tasks at work, how do you do your job?

How do you connect with others. So, this is a soft skill that comes from within and is seen by others. So now we have conflict resolution. The soft skill of conflict resolution is being willing to place a high value on peaceful relationships, prioritizing conflict free relationships and interactions And finally, we have here relationship management with the word responsiveness in brackets here, and that means that the person with this soft skill is willing to be responsive to others needs.
