The most important soft skill for me is self-confidence. Self-confidence in communication and life in general, is one of the most necessary tools. In a work place, you have to be confident in what you are bringing to the table, about your opinions, ideas, and work. I also think that you have to be confident enough to accept what people are saying about your work, to not feel bad, even when it's not a positive remark. It is also about being proud of yourself and not letting anyone bring you down, because you know your worth. Self confidence is very important to survive in our society.
And in communication, it's about being sure that your opinions matter, that you are important. It can also help you, when you have to speak in front of people, because knowing your worth is the key to success. But warning, self confidence is nothing like arrogance, you don't have to denigrate someone to raise yourself up, be kind and nice to yourself but to everyone out there as well.
