When we were 5 years old someone taught us to say thank you.
When we were 12 we earned our first five, banked it, and spent it wisely on bubble gum and baseball cards.High school triggered first dates, juggling jobs with studies, while college stretched us to manage time and build relationships.
Hundreds of years ago, life's hard lessons taught us the skills they call soft.
You learned them the first cold french frie order you served to a customer. Bartending and serving warm beer? Yup, you learn to read body language quickly.
Maybe we sheltered the next group of workers, coddled them through childhood, believing there was a shortage of second place trophies.
Berkeley University offers a soft skill course called "Adulting", helping today's college students manage time, physical resources, and nurture relationships. The parents that coddled our kids pay the unintended consequences of tuition.
The good news is, Physical Therapists learn soft skills fast with their first rotation. Just try out one virtual care visit to see how well they communicate and connect; there is nothing soft about their great skill set!
Better yet, with intention, Physical Therapists utilize soft skills better than all other healthcare providers.
