One example is leading meetings to practice public speaking, in an environment where you can feel safe to fail. Employers to encourage all employees to share personal successes as well as failures so others can learn from these victories and shortcomings." These days people work on virtual environment therefore there's lot of reading required to amplify and to pose the best of best. People do have talents and they showcase when it's needed, but in the virtual world that we live we may have to deliver it every time n at every instances. Workplace should be interactive and not expressive. Participation is the key and everything lies with self to get that 1% marginal gain..

  • Desire for responsibility 
  • Willingness to accept risks

Always treat yourself like an honor student, You Know What You Know" and "You Know What You Do Not Know" you have to be observance in all situation happening around you, for how your boss manage his/her team always look and find the best people who you think that you can copy or get an idea how they handle and manage the situation around them and I think that you can easily get not only skills but also knowledge..

If you know someone who has good soft skills, start by observing their body language, their tonality of voice, the way they speak etc. This should be a good start to develop excellent soft skills. The rest is practice and pushing out of the comfort zone. Making conversations with people with different expertise or field than yours helps in two ways. First being you are pushed to think in a different way than you usually do and secondly improve your vocabulary in different fields. Once you have this in your tool set, it becomes easier to have a good EQ with people you meet later and develops leadership skills.Something i personally do is at every event i attend, i try to speak to at least 3-4 people and if possible try to meet the keynote speaker or special guest etc.

Hope this helps a bit.

Simple, you have to be confident enough to talk when its the right time to talk and listen if needed. Improve the way you speak by practicing at home. As an entrepreneur, it is a must that we bring something new in the market and you can do that if you surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, in which you will be able to get more ideas. 

Through participation in the sessions

 

You can build Soft skills when you talk a lot, related to business management field or course that you want to be improve. and engage to a work that involves teamwork  and participation session. Do practice speaking at home or in your community. Always make a initiative in speaking, so you may gain confidence. Try to make a presentation videos. or Imitate the excellent speakers.
