What we're talking about here are "soft skills," by which we mean the communication skills, social graces and chosen habits you will need and use to successfully create and maintain your networks. Personal Safety Nets gives a complete guide on what to do and how to prepare. Learning about soft skills will support you in taking action. There's a lot to learn.

Phyllis (talked about in the Newsletter story attached) used honesty with herself and her friend, which allowed her to accept help in developing self discipline and prioritizing skills which led to her success. Without honesty first, she would have failed to develop the necessary soft skills required for success.

A few of the soft skills that Phyllis used are listed below:
·    Good problem solving and decision making
·    Self-discipline
·    Prioritization
·    Organization
·    Honesty and integrity
