For all Scientists, Engineers, Doctors, Toxicologists, Technicians, Technologists - and Anyone Else Who Works in Any Field of Science - or Has to Manage Them!  

 

Are you, like so many others, tired of having your expertise and skills held hostage by a so-called ‘lack of people skills"?

 

What is the real cost of poor "people skills"?  To your company... your Section... your Project Team...your career?  If you or your organization are not achieving your desired goals or hitting your target numbers, you may a victim of the ‘people in science and engineering don’t do people’ myth?

 

You, like so many before you, may have discovered that in to-day’s highly competitive environment just bringing subject matter expertise to the table is no longer enough. If you’ve ever lost a bid proposal, gotten bogged down in endless meetings that go nowhere, been frustrated by the lack of response from your team, lost a promotion, or worse yet, lost a job because you weren’t up to snuff in dealing with people, you know what I mean.

A recent survey of 30 of the top environmental and engineering consulting firms in Canada identified communications as their #1 sought after skill for new and existing staff. And while your expertise may have landed you the job in the first place, rising to the top in your profession demands more.

If you’re ready to ensure that never again will you be sabotaged by the ‘people thing’, you can take the steps to do something about it now.

 

What You Need To Get Is The Soft Skills Advantage .....

Imagine the freedom of never again having to worry about...

• wasting time in unproductive meetings.
• getting the full support of your team in moving a project forward.
• whether or not your project will be sabotaged by someone else.
• dealing with difficult people.
• presenting and getting buy-in in-house for a new project proposal .
• dealing with people outside of your profession.
• losing your star performer because of inability to handle the people side of their new position.
• losing a contract or a customer because you couldn't get them to understand the value of your proposal.
• missed deadlines and budget over-runs because of mis-communication.
• losing your job because you couldn't handle the people-side of things!

Why Am I so Sure You Can Master the Soft Skills?

Because I spent 25+ years working in research with scientists, engineers, physicists, hydro-geologists and many others in a variety of scientific fields I know how you think and why you get so frustrated when you have to work with others.  I’ve spent hours with people like you in the lab, on project teams, in meetings, during program reviews and negotiation meetings, at conferences, at Board Hearings and over coffee, so I know you can ‘do the people thing’. You just haven’t been shown how you can do it with anybody, anytime, in a way that makes sense to you.  

 

Once you have the key to unlocking what makes people tick, you can achieve the results you want no matter who you have to deal with - and I can show you how to ‘get the data’ so you too can ‘read people’ and handle any situation effectively, with confidence and ease.

 

That’s where Soft Skills Mastery comes in. I've created a simple step by step process and I'm ready to help you ‘get the edge’ that will ensure you never again have to face the frustration that others control your fate more than you do!
