How many of you feel like your voice doesn’t matter in politics? Be honest. You might care deeply about issues like climate change, economic inequality, or education reform.

These interpersonal and personal competencies, commonly known as soft skills, are increasingly recognised by employers, educators, and organisations as essential for long-term success.
