			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, so what are Soft Skills?</p>
<p>Using Soft Skills helps you to get people to do or think what you want, without you actually asking or encouraging them.</p>
<p>It’s about persuasion not coercion.</p>
<p>Soft Skills are about altering the way others perceive you &#8211; by the way you act and the manner in which you speak or communicate.</p>
<p><span id="more-26"></span>They cover many every day activities from how you walk into a room, how you exchange business cards, the speed at which you speak, how you dress and ‘carry yourself’, when you choose to break off eye contact, how you shake hands – in fact every interaction you have with another human being is something that can have Soft Skills applied to it.</p>
<p>The correct use of Soft Skills means never again wondering why people come to the wrong conclusion about you.</p>
<p>Soft Skills are not about hoping for the best, selling yourself hard or assuming people will buy into you.</p>
<p>They are about creating and controlling an image you want others to see, a message you want them to understand, an idea you want them to accept.</p>
<p>Nor are Soft Skills simply about sales, rather it’s about you. From the minute you are seen or heard, people are judging you, Soft Skills direct them to the conclusion and decision you require.</p>
<p>It’s a powerful tool and one, with the right coaching, that you can use with great success every day.</p>
