UNAIR NEWS<\/span><\/span><\/strong> \u2013 <\/span>The <\/span>Postgraduate School<\/a> of Universitas <\/a><\/span>Airlangga<\/span> (UNAIR<\/span>) held an HR talk with <\/span>Iska<\/span> Ningrum<\/span> SIKom<\/span>,<\/span> one of the trainers and public speakers from <\/span>Intuisi<\/span> Consulting Agency & <\/span>Intuisi<\/span> Creative Agency. The<\/span> <\/span>Importance of Soft Skills<\/span><\/span> talk show<\/span> was aired<\/span> on Thursday<\/span>, Jan 4, 2024<\/span>,<\/span> via <\/span>Instagram <\/span>live broadcast on @pasca_unair.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The Importance <\/span>of soft skill development<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Iska<\/span> said that people<\/span> nowadays<\/span> are too focused on developing hard skills <\/span>when<\/span> soft skills <\/span>are<\/span> no less important. Soft skills are a person’s non-technical abilities<\/span>,<\/span> such as the ability to communicate with othe<\/span>rs<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

“Communication is the process of conveying a message from one individual to another individual with the aim of ensuring that the message is conveyed well,” she said. <\/p>\n\n

Iska stated that effective communication is necessary to boost a career at work. Effective communication in the workplace is done by knowing the personality types of co-workers. It can be done by identifying characters according to personality types: melancholic, sanguine, phlegmatic, and choleric. <\/p>\n\n

It is important to learn other people’s personalities to communicate effectively. Basically, each personality type has different communication patterns. “For example, our co-worker has a sanguine personality, so he cannot apply a melancholic communication pattern because it will not be suitable,” she said. <\/p>\n\n

Effective <\/span>ways to communicate<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Furthermore, an effective way to communicate with colleagues is to provide suggestions with a good approach because, generally, humans do not like being criticized. \u201cThere are basic principles in conveying criticism. Such as giving appreciation before providing constructive criticism and solutions to improve,” she said. <\/p>\n\n

Apart from colleagues, you also need an effective way of communicating with superiors at work. What you can do is make thorough preparations before discussing it with your superiors and pay attention to your appearance. <\/p>\n\n

“Communication is not only about how to talk to other people verbally, but also related to gestures, expressions, and manners,” said the communications graduate. <\/p>\n\n

It is also necessary to understand how to communicate between generations. Usually, in our work, we will collaborate with people from different generations. <\/p>\n\n

“For example, generation Z is used to getting things instantly, so to connect with them, we have to communicate flexibly,” she explained. <\/p>\n\n

In<\/span> the end, <\/span>Iska<\/span> gave tips<\/span> for honing soft skills<\/span>: being aware of your shortcomings and improving<\/span> communication through training. <\/span>It<\/span> is also necessary to communicate with yourself because communication is <\/span>established<\/span> with other people and<\/span> yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
