Mastering the Power Trio - Soft Skills

How can professionals develop the cognitive and emotional agility to thrive in complex, modern workplaces?

This microlearning instructional video explores three essential soft skills: Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Emotional Intelligence. These are the capabilities that help people solve problems, generate fresh ideas, and collaborate with emotional awareness. The short-format video is ideal for self-paced learning or onboarding modules where time is limited but impact matters. Practical prompts and real-world context help learners connect these abstract skills to everyday work.
