Why success skills Are the New Power Skills in Career and Lif
In a rapidly evolving professional world where automation, artificial intelligence, and remote collaboration dominate headlines, one truth remains constant: soft skills—now rebranded as success skills—are critical for long-term career and personal achievement.
These abilities, once dismissed as “nice-to-haves,” have become indispensable across industries. In fact, leading research has shown that 85% of job success comes from well-developed soft skills, while only 15% is tied to technical expertise.
If you’re looking to gain a competitive edge in today’s workforce or simply want to improve the quality of your personal interactions, IBM’s People and Soft Skills for Professional and Personal Success Specialization on Coursera provides a focused, flexible path to getting there.
