The world is changing faster than traditional education can keep up. AI will start to do all the hard skill jobs, but is not very adaptable to soft skills. This is even more true now that we have transitioned from a relational world to a transactional one. Educators will have an ever-increasing duty to help enhance the soft skills of their students. This will become even more challenging, as many courses are now offered in an online format. The challenge will be to enhance skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving, time management, and communication skills.

Through this module, I have gained a deeper understanding of the crucial role soft skills play in professional success. While technical expertise is essential, research suggests that 85% of workplace success depends on soft skills, such as interpersonal abilities and workplace behaviors, while only 15% relies on hard skills. However, many educators often overlook the importance of developing these skills, prioritizing technical proficiency instead. Transitioning from a clinical nursing role to an instructional setting highlights this gap—while patient education is a core part of nursing, it does not fully prepare educators for classroom management, student conflict resolution, or enforcing school policies.
Additionally, professionalism is not a singular trait but rather a combination of various skills that must be cultivated together. Recognizing this, I intend to apply my learning by emphasizing the development of my own soft skills, particularly in fostering a structured and supportive educational environment. Whether managing classrooms, resolving disputes among students, or addressing noncompliance with school policies, I will consciously work on strengthening communication, leadership, and adaptability—critical components of professionalism. By doing so, I aim to create a more effective and positive learning atmosphere for my students.

As educators we can incorporate soft skills development into existing subjects and programs. Offer standalone courses, workshops, or programs focused on soft skills development. Encourage students to work on projects that require collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. Invite special speakers or guest from various industries to share their experiences and emphasize the importance of soft skills. Develop methods to assess and provide constructive feedback on students' soft skills development.
As an educator, soft skills are your most important tool to have in your arsenal. I like to equate being an educator to being a coach of a team. A coach is a motivator and instructor, and to be successful you'll have to understand how to communicate with different types of people and personalities. Finding ways to keep the enthusiastic students engaged while bringing the less enthused to a level of excitement that keeps the lesson going smooth are signs of a strong educator. A great coach knows that keeping the star player motivated and properly prepared isn't going to be the same as talking to the least experienced player on the team. Soft skills are what keep the group moving towards a common goal the main objective.
