Soft Skills Manual

This manual has twenty-four topics. Its content is derived from five broad themes: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social-Awareness, Relationships, and Responsible Decision-Making. The learning activities include exercises, role-plays, group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and storytelling. The topics do not have to be presented in the exact order they appear in the manual. Depending on the current felt and actual needs of the participant, relevant topics should be presented for timely results.

Flexibility, innovativeness, and creativity are highly encouraged for facilitators. The manual serves as a guide and should be used to guide within the acceptable parameters. Although the manual allocates a specific amount of time for each session, the facilitator is at liberty to adjust this time, depending on the particular needs of the group, with the group’s consent.
