Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday! 🌟 As we move further into September, it’s the perfect time to talk about a powerful balance that shapes not only your studies but could also influence your future, this is the balance between academic skills and personal skills.

Your academic skills such as research, analysis, and technical skills, prove that you’ve mastered your field of study. But employers and life itself demand something more. This includes the ability to communicate, collaborate, and connect with others. This is where personal skills step in. This balance is needed as it is beneficial when it comes to working effectively in teams and thinking creatively when solving problems.

Moreover, it helps you adapt quickly when things don’t go as planned and to lead, inspire, and motivate others . You can strengthen this balance by practicing these skills. Practice daily communication. This means you should learn to share your insights rather than always keeping it to yourself. Get involved outside the lecture hall. Thus, join a club, volunteer, or take part in campus events. These experiences stretch your teamwork, leadership, and time management skills in ways books can’t. 💼

Lastly, apply what you learn. This means you should bridge the gap between theory and practice. If you’re learning marketing, try helping a friend promote their side hustle. If you’re studying law, join a debate society. Real-world practice locks in your knowledge. Your degree is important but it’s only part of the puzzle. Pair it with personal growth, and you’ll become the kind of graduate who’s not just ready for the workplace but ready to lead it.

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday
