Young adults today need to learn soft skills and also thinking on their own.  Many are hesitant to think outside of the box and problem solve by themselves.  

This week, I learned that soft skills are just as essential for instructors as they are in business and industry. While technical skills help us teach content, it is our communication, empathy, adaptability, professionalism, and emotional intelligence that truly shape the learning experience for adult students. Soft skills influence how we respond to challenges, how we build rapport with learners, and how we create a classroom climate that supports motivation and success.

This module underscores the importance of soft skills in education. Without skills such as integrity, creativity and the ability to empathize, the educator's job is simply an ineffective routine.

Having great interpersonal skills provides the basics for a trusting, respectful relationship between student and instructor.
