According to Manpower Company, soft skills training is not a one-sided problem, but a work journey that must be built by itself every day - through communication, cooperation or handling small situations at work.
As skills gradually become a habit, you will become more confident, more flexible and ready to seize many new opportunities.
Here are 7 simple, easy-to-apply ways to gradually improve your soft skills:
Reading books and documents
Read books or articles, or listen to podcasts from experts, influential people in communication, thinking, leadership... and importantly, apply what you learn in practice.
Practice every day
Skills only improve when used regularly. Take every opportunity to communicate, work in groups, criticize or handle situations. Each try is one time you improve.
Find a companion or mentor
If possible, find an experienced tour guide to learn from or simply a roommate who trains, responds and supports each other. Having a companion will help you stay motivated and see where to improve.

It is not necessary to just work to practice soft skills. Any social activity such as participating in clubs, volunteer programs, workshops, community events... is an ideal environment for you to practice communication, cooperation and adaptation in real-life context.
Observe and learn from good people
Teacher learning is not a problem. Pay attention to how your classmates, colleagues or even relatives communicate, handle problems, lead groups... Observe, ask questions, ask for advice if possible - you will learn a lot from those around you.
