Having common sense and an understanding of others seem to stand out the most to me. By keeping both these in mind, I can keep improving as an educator.
I learned the 10 soft skills Attension to detail, being drug-free, conflict resulution, customer service, dependability, integrity, positive attitudes, understanding others, using common sense, good work relations.
Soft skills and hard skills both can be learned if someone is weak in these skills so it can benefit everyone.
Common Sense is the ability to make appropriate and practical decisions.
Soft skills such as people skills are more important to be successful than hard skills.
Soft skills significantly contributed to positive outcomes.

Soft skills are essential as an instructor
85% soft skills/15% technical skills represents how important it is to work on soft skills in dealing with others on your team and in the classroom. It makes perfect sense that being a good role model goes beyond just technical knowledge in the classroom and at work. It won't work if you are so offensive that your class or teammates are closed off because of poor behavior.
Reply to Paula Edwards's post:You are a great role model and I can tell that in how the students react to you in and out of the classroom.
Soft skills will help you solve most of your problems.
How vital soft skills are to teaching!
I am fully in agreement with what I have read and learned in this module. Moreover, I do believe that soft skills and workplace behaviors set up the actual paramount conditions for delivering outstanding lectures.
Of course, you must have robust hard skills regarding the lectures you deliver, and ideally, you should be a subject matter expert - at least up to a certain degree- but if your soft skills and workplace behaviors are not at the appropriate level, your students will not take everything they might get from you.
