Your People Skills Pain Scale
 
 
IGNORE THESE SKILLS AND PERISH
 
 
Regardless of the industry, many of us have experienced the frustration of dealing with a professional who, despite being technically competent, lacks the essential people skills to make them, well, less painful. Although you may prefer to think of yourself as likable or charming, what pain do others experience in engaging with you? Today, effectively engaging with others isn't just an advantage—it's an absolute necessity. You can no longer ignore your bad people skills.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Illusion and Reality of Expertise
 
 
IS EVERYONE AN EXPERT?
 
 
In today's YouTube-a-skill world, the definition of 'expertise' seems to be evolving—or devolving. With just a few clicks, individuals can access a vast array of tutorials and courses, leading many to label themselves as 'experts' in various fields. This trend is particularly noticeable in domains where practice and experience traditionally define expertise. However, the ease of claiming this status today raises critical questions about the authenticity and depth of such self-proclaimed expertise.
