I have just found this forum and am hoping all discussion did not end in 2009! I train in interpersonal communication skills which tends to be a very underrated esential skill. I look forward to some more activity in this forum!

Hi guys, having just joined this group, I cannot agree with the comments made more. Having been in the Recruitment and Training industry for 10+ years and being able to quote some really staggering statistics of incorrect career choices, this has become somewhat of a passion of mine. To the point that I have developed several training programmes aimed at the youth and soft skills that are not taught in schools. If anyone is interested in further information or can assist me in moving this material forward, please make contact with me? I look forward to networking with like minded individuals in this group!

Unathi, just this morning I had a conversation with a psycologist about the fact that business don't recognise this valuable development (in particular in South Africa - it's un-macho I think)... I think worse still it's deemed uncool to not know what you really want and asking for help to get it! It's my wish for all that we take responsibility for our happiness and success and seek out the means of achieving it - it starts in your own head frankly... imagine a work environment where everyone was doing what they 'wanted to' and were happy to do it? We wouldn't need 'supervisors' supervising...

Thanks for your comments Unathi...we certainly do, but it seems this is such a neglected area...

Hi Craig and Madge, soft skills are critical and I notice the lack of this across all levels when I do interviews. There is now no longer focus on that i.e guidance teachers as schools. Student dont know what they want to do and why, they end up doing first year of every course just to figure out what they want in life. The work you are doing Madge is good, we need more of that for our children and even at workplace.

Hi Craig...thanks for your feedback. Blows my mind why people never go to the root of the problem!
