We all need soft skills. Whether leadership development, communications, team building, problem-solving, empowerment, critical thinking, or even mindfulness, soft skills are important and can drive significant value. The problem is executives haven’t seen the value of the soft skills programs in terms they appreciate and understand. Consequently, they call these skills, “Fluff.”

The challenge is to evaluate a major soft skills program at the impact and ROI level. Some learning professionals are reluctant to go down this path because they are concerned that soft skills programs do not deliver a positive ROI. This misconception is playing right into the hands of the executives who are calling soft skills programs “fluff.” The reality is that you can show the ROI, and the odds are high that the ROI is greater for soft skills programs than for hard skills programs.

To ensure that soft skills programs deliver and show business results, essential steps are necessary at the beginning of the implementation of a soft skills program, during the execution, and after implementation. With this approach, the impact and positive ROI are almost guaranteed. 

In this webinar, Patti Phillips, Ph.D., will provide useful, practical tools to help you show the value of soft skills programs. Presented in an easy-to-understand format, this interactive session shows how to measure the business value of soft skills programs and how to calculate the ROI.
