At Mind-Gap, we are passionate about bringing a high level of awareness of the need for ‘soft skills’ in individuals and organizations. Through our services, Mind Gap focuses on creating training programmes that not only teach soft skills like leadership, emotional intelligence, and communication but also ensure these skills are continuously practiced and implemented in the workplace.
However, despite the significant investments made in soft skills training by us and others, many companies still struggle with the challenge of transferring these skills into practical use in the workplace. That’s why we are fanatical about not just the importance of training but ensuring that those soft skills stick, become habitual, ingrained, and effectively applied in everyday work scenarios. We recently explored the COMPASS model, an integrated framework grounded in behavioral science, to better understand and address the soft skills transfer problem. This model highlights key factors such as capability, opportunity, and motivation that play a crucial role in ensuring that training leads to real-world impact.
Our approach aligns with the findings from the COMPASS model by taking a holistic view of soft skills training. It’s not just about offering training sessions; it’s about creating environments where employees feel empowered and motivated to apply their soft skills. Whether it’s leadership development, communication strategies, or team-building exercises, our services are designed to create lasting change. We help organizations by providing a framework that addresses capability, opportunity, and motivation, ensuring that soft skills are not just learned but also integrated into work processes.
One of the highlights of our approach is our focus on practical application. For example, we recently conducted a training session in Saudi Arabia (see photo above) where a group of professionals engaged in meaningful discussions about the application of soft skills in their cultural and organisational context work. The image (above) from this session perfectly captures the essence of what we do: facilitating conversations, creating opportunities for practice, and ensuring that soft skills are front and center in professional development. This kind of hands-on, interactive learning environment is exactly what makes soft skills “stick” and sets our training apart.
At Mind Gap, we are committed to fostering environments where soft skills are continuously developed and applied. If you’re ready to take your team’s soft skills training to the next level, connect with us today. Let’s ensure your team not only learns essential skills but effectively integrates them into their everyday work, making a lasting impact on both individual and organizational success.
