I’m joined by experienced Organizational Resilience, Business Continuity, and Disaster Recovery specialist, Jason Hoss, as we talk about The Soft Skills for Resilience. Technical skills are great to have, but it’s soft skills that will take you and your own resilience to the next level. During our discussion, we talk about: 1. Defining soft skills and resilience, 2. Active listening, 3. Radical candor, 4. Leadership, 5. Work ethics and discipline, 6. Interpersonal skills, 7. Cultural awareness, 8. Self awareness...and more. Jason sheds light on some topics that individuals really need to be aware of if they want to increase their personal resilience and their influence on others; either in their relationships, their organizations, or their communities. There are some great insights you don’t want to miss, including some personal stories from Jason. Enjoy!
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
