Character skills are often more predictive of long-term success than cognitive skills. ✨ One effective way to cultivate character skills is through coaching, and a study involving 1,500 entrepreneurs demonstrated this. 📈 Those coached on character skills saw a 30% increase in business profits over two years, which was nearly triple the benefit of traditional business training. 💪 Proactivity, discipline, and determination are not just values but skills that can be developed throughout life. 🤖 Now, more than ever, these character skills are becoming crucial in the AI era of the modern workplace. As Adam Grant has pointed out — "character skills are harder to automate." ▶️ This transition marks a significant shift in what is valued in the workforce, with a growing focus on skills that technology cannot easily replicate. https://lnkd.in/g2WxeaNk
