About this episode
Helen and Sarah are back with another squiggly skills series and this time they are focusing on the soft skills we all need to succeed.
Over the next 4 weeks they’ll be exploring originality, critical thinking, social influence and stress tolerance.
For each episode, they will read and review 2 books on the topic to understand more about the skill - what it is, why it matters and how we can all develop and demonstrate it at work.
This episode of the soft skills series kicks-off with originality. Helen reviews insights and ideas from Originals by Adam Grant and Sarah shares her learning from Corporate Rebels by Pim de Morree and Joost Minnaar.
