Your Partner in Soft Skills Training, Employee Coaching & Executive Mentoring

Giant Solutions is in the business of bringing the heartbeat back into business life. Our number one top aim is to help companies to foster a meaningful and authentic connection with each other. Our experience has shown us time and time again that any team that is too single-minded and is not connected to each other in a common goal, is a team that can easily become derailed when the pressure is on. A business is made up of people first, and if they are not healthy in their mindset, then the business is less resilient in tough times. The mark of a great working environment is not when things are going great, it's how staff work together and stand in support of each other when the company faces challenges.

So how do we achieve this? Soft Skills, that's how. (Click here for a more academic explanation of what soft skills are).

To put it simply, another term for it is people skills.

Soft Skills are one of the most underrated, and yet vital, set of skills needed for a business to ensure resilience and continued growth. (Click here to access our blog article on "Why soft skills training is not a luxury, but a necessity").

Gone are the days when technical knowledge is enough for success, in this day and age, and with the advent of technology, the number one desired commodity for business to thrive is through trusted connection. Consumers are no longer paying for products or services, they are paying for 3 main things: to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood, which in turn meets the need for safety.

The information age has a double edge sword. On one hand, we know more than ever before and we can access it at any time, but on the other hand, it causes a lot of uncertainty and confusion too.

Knowledge and technical skills when they stand on their own are just that, they do not have the power to set a company apart from its competitors, but soft skills do.

A Harvard study shows that productivity is raised by 85% when a team is well-versed and trained in their soft skills. They are more confident, resilient, empathetic, supportive, adaptable, responsible, and dependable. They have the ability to navigate everyday challenges with a solution-orientated mindset. They can ask for help when needed and are not afraid to charter new territory. Their relationship with mistakes is seen as an opportunity to grow. They understand that there is no "I" in TEAM and that each person plays a vital role in a collective that is invested in a united goal. They value people for their unique qualities and know how to leverage the strengths of others to support them through challenges they may face directly related to their specific job roles. They have a clear-cut understanding of the part they play in the greater picture and ensure every effort is made to deliver on it.

At Giant, we know and understand what the above looks like and how to achieve it. We help our clients to move into a greater world of self-awareness and identify the need for growth points, which transform them into an asset that continues to grow and expand for the better.
