SOFT SKILLS TRAINING
CENTRES

INTRODUCTION
Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, career prospects
and job performance. Unlike hard skills, which tend to be specific to a certain type of task
or activity, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles.Soft skills is a catch-all term
referring to various behaviors that help people work and socialize well with others. In
short, they are the good manners and personality traits needed to get along with others and
build positive relationships. Unlike hard skills, which include a person's technical skill set
and ability to perform certain functional tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job
titles and industries. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need
soft skills to get and keep the job.
Soft skills is a term often associated with a person's EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)
the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication language,personal habits,
interpersonal skills, managing people, leadership, etc. that characterize relationships with
other people. Soft skills contrast to hard skills, which are generally easily quantifiable and
measurable (e.g. software knowledge, basic plumbing skills).
A person's soft skill EQ is an important part of their individual contribution to the success
of an organization. Particularly those organizations dealing with customers face-to-face are
generally more successful, if they train their staff to use these skills. Screening or training
for personal habits or traits such as dependability and conscientiousness can yield
significant return on investment for an organization. For this reason, soft skills are
increasingly sought out by employers in addition to standard qualifications.

SKILLS TRAINING CENTRES

1. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Communication is at heart of everything we do in business, yet poor communication is a
huge problem for business and individuals causing low morale, poor performance and high
staff turn over. Most of the communication happens by accident, with wrong messages
coming across. If our organization wants to be successful in business, it is worth training
the staff to communicate efficiently.
The communication skills training aims to build :
Firm foundations : Enhances the essentials of communication one can take in any
situation.

2. PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
Personality development training results in ongoing personal development - a key skill in
leadership.Mindset is a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's
responses to and interpretations of situations.This reaction to our circumstances is usually
acquired at a very young age and can last a lifetime. However, it can also be transformed if
a conscious decision is made to embrace a more positive mindset.
It is important to understand that we can only perform up to our belief system and never
beyond it. In order to perform to our fullest potential we need to understand our
interferences or barriers that prevent us from doing so. Hence any development is impeded
if our belief structure is not changed. Personality development courses that ignore the
difficult component of shifting mindsets will lack the deep impact that is necessary for
change to sustain.
3. SALES AND MARKETING TRAINING
Although the definition of a sale is simple enough, the process of turning a prospect into a
customer can be very complex process one needs to master. Effective and high
performance selling is important to the success of almost every kind of business. It requires
one to convince someone, that there is something for them in making their decision to
make a purchase by spending some of their hard-earned money. The Sales and Marketing
module will give participants a basic sales process, plus some basic sales tools, that they
can use to seal the deal, no matter what the size of the sale.
The participants will become more confident, handle objections, and learning how to be a
great closer. Apart from selling successfully, this module will help participants to organize
themselves, understanding and working with customer needs, to build essential skills such

catalyst for new thinking in process, product and problem solving. Our creativity training
program gives participants the tools they need to find profound solutions to stubborn
problems and roadblocks that they encounter.
5. CUSTOMER SERVICE
Today how our organization delivers our products and services are as important as what
they are. Competing goods and services don’t differ greatly from each other, so customers
will choose where to shop based on the service they get. Before they consider spending any
money, customers will already know whether they trust us and like us. They will have
judged what we look like, what we sound like and how responsive we are.
The only way to create customer satisfaction is to under promise and over deliver. It is the
internal customers of an organisation that strive to provide satisfaction to their external
customers.

other words, what are the interview skills that interviewers need to develop to hire the right
candidates? Interviewing Skills Training helps participants to improve their ability to hire
the right candidate by using new and innovative interviewing tips.
7. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT TRAINING
The Conflict Management Training & Assertiveness Training contain powerful conflict
resolution techniques that significantly help to improve workplace conflict resolution.
Conflict is the result of people having differing needs, opinions, and expectations. The
reality of conflict is that in any human relationship it is inevitable. More importantly, if
handled well conflict provides a powerful avenue for significant growth. Hence developing
good conflict resolution techniques is very important and essential for career growth and
organizational development.
8. MOTIVATION TRAINING
Motivation is the product produced through internal or external factors that fuel one's

14
desire and energy to be committed to a role or job and consistently be focused & driven
towards achieving set goals.
Training on Motivation improves motivational levels in the employees that boosts personal
and professional performance. It helps employees connect better and establish successful
working relationships; thus contributing to the success of an organization.
Motivational Training for managers and leaders are essential for sustained organizational
performance. It is important for leaders to know how to inspire and motivate the team
when required. By being better coaches and trainers to their team, the overall work
atmosphere would become positive, thereby helping organizations greatly.
Though the impact of high motivation is well known, it has been found that a vast portion
of the capabilities of employees in an organization is severely underutilized. If businesses
or individuals want greater success, then the answer resides within the ability to improve
motivation, improve the use of energy and to improve talent. Yet, almost every time, the
emphasis is on the technical or the hard skills with little or no focus on training on
motivation or the soft skills.
9. NEGOTIATION TRAINING
Negotiating Skills is an important competency of a manager. Negotiation is a voluntary
attempt through direct dialogue to resolve conflicts that arise from competing needs,
interests and goals. Every aspect of doing business with customers, vendors, partners,
bosses, and employees involves negotiation strategies. We do it whether we're the buyer or
seller of an idea or product. We do it during informal discussions in a hallway or during a
project review with several people on each side. Whatever the situation, if have a good
understanding of the situation in advance, we will get better results. In short, the art of
negotiation is a key life skill.
10. TIME MANAGEMENT

both. The sequence in which one performs tasks on an everyday basis has a profound effect
on how much they get out of their life. Most people have the capacity to manage their time
better, and doing so makes their working more productive and fulfilling.

15

examining how delegates currently manage their time, and looks at areas that need

Etiquette Training to their employees. Many employees, customer service representatives
and business owners themselves seem lost when it comes to business e-mail etiquette and
proper practices to be followed while emailing.
Our employees need to brush up on these issues so that they can communicate with
courtesy and clarity. This makes everyone’s job easier!
In business, on or off-line, impressions are everything.Off-line we notice what people wear,
how they present themselves, the quality of their business cards etc.
The very same applies online. As an example, if we e-mail in one liners, do not spell check
our email, do not use proper sentence structure or lack basic grammar rules, it will reflect
on us and our business.

benefits of understanding our customers through their facial expressions and body
language. To achieve credibility over a call, it is imperative to communicate in an effective

show enthusiasm about the content.
The skills required to train individuals can be mastered with correct training. Trainers
must feel confident about the domain they are training on and should be confident enough
to deliver and match the expectations of the participants.
Don’t we remember a good teacher from our school or college days even after so many
years, the same applies to the corporate training world, all we need to have the required
delivery skills to leave an impact on our participants to remember. However this does not
happen, most people go through different training programs and when it comes to deliver
one, they simply copy what was used on them and end up giving a lecture, since training is
different from lecturing.

practice and persistence.
