As a Career Counsellor and therapist, I’ve seen the incredible impact that transferable skills can have. Many clients don’t realize how their strengths—like communication, problem-solving, and leadership—can open doors to new opportunities. For example, one of my clients who was a teacher, had a knack for organization, mentoring, and collaboration and realized how she could easily transition into project management, human resources, or even corporate training.
In today’s fast-changing job market, it’s helpful to know which skills are in demand. While the following list highlights some popular skills that Fortune 500 employers value, it’s important to remember that any skill can lead to exciting possibilities that are a fit with your values, personality and reality factors:
Analytical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Communication Skills, Adaptability and Flexibility, Cybersecurity Awareness, Project Management.
The best part? Even if you don’t possess these specific skills, there’s still so much potential to mine for how your unique experiences can fit into a new career. In our confidential counselling sessions, we’ll help you identify your abilities and guide you through any changes with confidence and clarity.
