Educational Lecture
Educational Institutions the world over recognize that students need more than industry knowledge. As the saying goes, "Book smarts are incomplete without street smarts," or, more formally, hard skills are incomplete without soft-skills.
As your University or school strives to impart knowledge about soft skills, skills like leadership, communication, teamwork, and critical thinking, it is important to fully exploit the wealth of support found in industry leaders, professionals, and people who have dedicated their lives to improving their soft-skills.
With this in mind, why not bring me in to give a lecture on core soft-skills? Gift your students a World-Class lecture on skills they will use in their careers and beyond.
