Before I even started this course, I battled with defining what soft skills are for others and what I believe soft skills meant.

Here we are continuing the conversation that began over 100 years ago, although now using a new term to be set apart from AI. I also found that implementing habitual self-reflection is our goal to help students and staff develop EWS.
