What challenges will the future of work bring for our people, teams and our organisations and what unique skills will we need to face the future of work with confidence?
Experts in the future of work are clear. The pace of change will be rapid amid global business environments characterised by high levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
Your people will require a range of unique skills, separate from the technical and functional skills they possess, so that they can respond successfully to an ever-changing environment.
These skills have very specific features – they are uniquely human, cannot be automated, are universal and highly transferable and are developable.
Skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, emotional agility and self-management.
These are Human Skills.
Drawing from the latest research on the skills required for performance both now and in the Future of Work, blended with the latest learning from neuroscience and psychology, the Human Skills programme will enhance your organisation’s success through developing your most important asset – your people.

Developing Human Skills builds Personal and Professional Confidence
A blend of functional skills and human skills
Every role requires a mix of both technical and human skills.
Although some job roles will require and value particular human skills more than others, at least a basic level of competence is required in all human skills for enhanced performance, productivity and overall business success.
Competence in Human Skills builds confidence
Competence in Human Skills enhances personal and professional confidence. It is this confidence that is a vital buffer of the more negative impacts of stress and pressure and a key ingredient in resilience.
Building on our uniquely human strengths
Human Skills are grouped into four main domains…
Cognitive Human Skills
Developing cognitive skills through learning how the brain works and metacognition (thinking about our thinking) is an often neglected area of professional development. And yet, skills such as planning and work management, critical thinking, decision making, innovation and creativity are essential life long skills for people at all stages of their career journey.
Self-Mastery Human Skills
Success now and in the Future of Work will require the ability to understand how to regulate and attune to the changing needs of people, environments and challenges. In order to manage this, people will need to employ skills such as the ability to self-motivate, respond appropriately under pressure, use emotional agility and enhance focus to persevere and achieve goals.
Interpersonal Human Skills
One of the unique areas of human expertise that will not be replaced by technology is our ability to form connections and work together, finding complex solutions to meaningful problems. This ability requires a range of skills including communication, forming relationships, collaboration and coaching and motivating others.
Future Focused Human Skills
Research is clear, the pace of change in the Future of Work will be accelerated. Skills such as the ability to learn how to learn, employing a growth mindset, deliberate practice, taking the initiative and adapting to change, are essential and can be developed to enhance growth and reduce stress.
