There is nothing soft about “soft skills.” We diminish the value of skills such as empathy, adaptability, persuasion, and effective decision-making when we mislabel them as soft skills, which implies, they are optional. They are not.  We look for these qualities in our managers, co-workers, and personal relationships. So, they aren’t soft in the least. It’s time to call them what they indeed are – real skills. *** Additional resources: Garr Reynolds (blog 2), Garr Reynolds (video) 1, Nancy Duarte (video 1), TED 1 talk, Dale Carnegie (free ebook 1) (audiobook 1) *** This episode was brought to you by The Financial Crimes Learning Experience.

So, you want to advance your career in anti-financial crime? Take Simon Sinek’s advice. Before we can figure out HOW to advance our career in anti-financial crime, we must "Start with WHY", as Simon Sinek proposes in his book of the same name, and he goes on to say that "Finding Why is a process of discovery, not invention." In this episode, I share with you a life-changing (to me at least) exercise that I’ve been practising for many years now on how to discover one’s true Why. I walk you through an example of how to uncover reasons why it is important for you to take steps to advance your financial crime-fighting career.   *** This episode was brought to you by THE FINANCIAL CRIMES LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
