which skill has been cited as the most valuable in staying true to professionalism?

Indubitably, communication is the cord that ties all the soft skills together and makes delivery seamless without offending anyone irrespective of their cultural belefs and various background. I attest to the fact that emotional intelligence should rank as high as communication because if you noyt able to regulate your thoughts than you make not be able to perform  effeciently as a team member when opinions are diversed and one's

One of the hall marks of professionalism is good communoication skills and a dependable emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.

An instructor should be a perfect model of dependability and integrity.

Worthy of note to mention that soft skills is the cord that ties hard skills and application of it to achieve success as a learner, if im the best student in the class but cannot apply common sense or seeing team work with my colleagues as extermely important, then success can hardly be achieved no matter the amount of effort invested.

In this module I have learnt that as importance as attending school is to master a skill, sustaining the skill and making it profitable during application is only accentuated through soft skills, no one wants a recluse in a job where your disposition and personable appearance speaks volume. Ability to relate to other workers is as important as been top of the class in academics.

Some workplace environments may not benefit from the use of soft skills. I think this is just one those 21st century buzz words for the workplace. Professionalism and respect is key to a good working environment and health relationships. Thoughts?

Do you think that soft skills are really effective in a career setting.

As hard skill is an initial step to enter a profession, soft skills are very crucial to become a successful individual within the profession.  Specifically, having common sense would allow you on the decision making and problem solving at regular basis matter. Dependability and integrity both are interconnected to make you to strive to be better everyday, loyal to yourself and others, and best serve the purposes. 

In today's world (and I think this will continue to be true!), technical skills will get you in the door, but soft skills are what help you thrive and stay successful. I think we're moving towards a work environment that demands these skills. Automation is taking over many routine tasks. Therefore, it is our ability to connect, collaborate, empathize with our team that will prove successful.

I think communication is very important and making sure your getting you thoughts and ideas across effectively.

What are your thoughts on soft skills and there importance?  I think teamwork is important and need of input from others.  I think that is how creative in the material happens through teamwork.  

Can soft skills be developed in a work environment?

Writing means learning and is validated in the classroom. Make sure the environment is positive and comfortable. Can do group writing. Provide timely feedback that is linked to the goals of the assignment. Help students understand they will do many drafts before they arrive at the final product.

What I learned from this lesson is to assist students solve their ethical dilemmas by brainstorming solutions.  Help students do self management via live long learning and how to deal with their issues. To get them to become better at critical thinking assist them in their self awareness by actively listening, shifting them to be more involved in their learning, and communicating more effectively.

The course discussed writing as the foundation of students learning style and critical thinking. If a student can develop their writing skills and have them critiqued then they will become better with communication. Communication in the professional arena is an area that is in need of improvement. As an instructor we are the resource and critic for them to practice and perfect their skills. 

To me as a teacher, it is paramount that it is not only necessary to "have" or perform these "generic soft skills", but also quite important to adjust those "personal abilities and attitudes" to each specific environment.

In this regard, I would define the "environment" as the students -and everything related to their educational capabilities- and the teaching conditions in which you deliver your classes.

I truly believe it is quite important for a good teacher to successfully identify and quickly analyze the different key aspects that involve and have an impact on both, your students and learning and teaching conditions to effectively apply your "soft skills abilities and tips"
