What skills are most important for a job like yours?
The most important skills for my role are listening and communication. A large part of my job involves working directly with people. I need to understand their daily needs and how to communicate support effectively.
This includes understanding how people learn and prefer to be communicated with. It's also about identifying next steps that will help solidify skill development. So, listening and communication are definitely at the top of the list.
Other important skills include time management, being able to handle different responsibilities, priorities, and daily demands. Public speaking is also crucial.
In a classroom setting, it's key to keep people engaged and prevent boredom. If you rely solely on PowerPoint presentations, people will disengage and learn less.
I need to be dynamic and engaging enough for people to retain information and be excited to implement it in their businesses.
