WHY YOU NEED SOFT SKILLS
SO, BRUSH UP ON THOSE SOFT SKILLS
SCENARIO 1• Kelley is clearly upset and needs to be removed from the situation.
• Why? She is making a scene and needs to take a moment.
• Kelley doesn’t want to be viewed as someone that cannot hold it together personally or professionally.
• By taking a moment to gain her composure, she is able to be show others that she is capable of keeping her emotions in check and being a professional.
SCENARIO 2• Pamela has to put aside her differences and work with Emma on this project.
• Pamela can even have an honest conversation with Emma in a tactful manner that doesn’t cause more problems and let her know that they can work together.
• She doesn’t need to tell her boss that she cannot or will not work with Emma because that will only make her look bad!
• She needs to have a positive attitude and do all that she can to be a professional in this situation.
• It’s okay to not like someone on a personal level, but it’s not okay to let it interfere with work.
SCENARIO 3• Dr. Shepherd needs to get a calendar asap to write down his schedule.
• He also needs to make sure that he can handle all the appointments that he has and ask for help if he needs it.
• Maybe he can switch snack days with his friend Dr. Callie Torres.
• Dr. Shepherd can also make sure that he is setting his alarm and getting up on time.
• He can also prioritize his activities.
• All of these things will help him be in balance and get him on a schedule.
• This way he can manage his time better!
