The Million Dollar Soft Skill That Trumps AI
And one of the soft skills at the heart of effectiveness in life, career, relationships, etc. is the element of Human Connection.
Understanding the capacity of the soft skill of Human Connection to right wrongs, turn hearts and minds, and build foundations of cooperation that endure lifetimes is something that many folks have still not pursued, even 30 years since Daniel Goleman wrote “Emotional Intelligence.”
Yet, when it comes to your career, it’s never been more important to gain this understanding.
Face it: Artificial Intelligence will soon be reviewing your resume, not humans.
Think of it: ATS systems have been around for years. Do you think it will be long before AI will completely determine who should be called for an interview, if not conducting the screening interview itself, if not even making the final hiring decision??
“Hi, this is the X [Company] recruiting bot, affectionately known as Hedda Hunter. Congratulations! You have been chosen from 133,692 resumes submitted to record a brief initial video interview. Please press the button below to answer the questions included in this email. Be sure your camera and audio are working properly as we do not allow retakes.
Note: Please do not respond or attempt to follow up. If I decide to pass you on to my supervising bot, Slim Pickens, you will be notified. Don’t bot us, we’ll bot you.”
The only way for you to ensure career growth along the paths that YOU determine — versus the typical take-what-you-get-of-what’s-available road — is to develop the soft skill of Human Connection because, hopefully, there will always be a human being at the top of that AI ladder.
For over twenty years, I’ve empowered executives to manage their own career through an alternative, “backdoor” approach. Your next multi-6-figure role can be enjoyably attained in this way while circumventing the whole front-door hassles of resumes, interviews and bot land.
This skill, like Bitcoin, will continue to grow in value as the technological world expands to eliminate the personal touch from the firm and iron hand of the Matrix.
But, if you learn it, you’re always assured of rising above the automation of the Matrix when it comes to driving your career dreams to reality.
Human Connection is aspirational intelligence, and you can learn it.
Radically,

“I really reject the idea of soft skills. There is nothing soft about them. We have hard skills and we have human skills. We need more human skills in business today.” – Simon Sinek
