Money Making Cybersecurity Skills and Competencies

on

I keep telling people, "Don't sleep on soft skills". I guarantee you that if you think of problems you have at work and at home, they all go back to lack of soft skills. Am I right? 

Seth Godin refers to soft skills as "Real Skills" and for good reason. Real skills are what people notice and remember about you. They are what make you...you. 

Here’s a partial list of real skills that make a measurable difference at work and at home:
  1. The ability to start and stop quickly
  2. Assertiveness on behalf of ideas that matter
  3. Charisma and the skill to influence others
  4. Coach-ability and the desire to coach others
  5. Compassion for those in need
  6. Creativity in the face of challenges
  7. Critical thinking instead of mere compliance
  8. Decision making with effectiveness
  9. Dispute resolution skills
  10. Emotional intelligence
  11. Empathy for customers, co-workers and vendors
  12. Facilitation of discussion
  13. Flexibility
  14. Honesty
  15. Influence
  16. Interpersonal skills
  17. Leadership
  18. Managing up
  19. Problem-solving
  20. Resilience
  21. Self-confidence
  22. Storytelling
  23. Strategic thinking
  24. Stress management
  25. Team building
  26. Tolerance of change and uncertainty
To develop these skills you must practice again and again over time. If you can develop these skill in a way that impacts other people in a positive and influential way...you have it made in the shade. Here's an ideal of how much monetary gain these skills (and other) can offer:
