Human Skills
What are 'Human Skills'?
Human skills are the abilities you use to navigate relationships, express ideas, handle disagreement, inspire others, and respond to the world around you.
Whether interaction leads to connection
— or conflict — often comes down to these skills. Developing your human skills helps you become a more thoughtful communicator and a positive influence on those around you.
Why they matter
Does the world feel more polarised and less open to differing views?
You’re not imagining it. But here’s the thing:
the loudest voices aren’t always the wisest.
Many people stay quiet, not because they don’t care, but because they fear backlash or misunderstanding.
That’s where human skills come in.
They give us agency — over how we act, how we react, and how we relate.
Sharpening these skills isn’t just good for you — it’s good for the spaces you’re part of.
