Five Skills For Your Career and Your Relationship

A recent survey indicates that 93% of employers want college graduates with a broad background. They want to hire people who possess the following five abilities:

• a capacity to think critically
• an ability to communicate with clarity
• the ability to solve complex problems
• to think and function with ethical judgment
• to engage others with integrity

These are the same abilities and skills required for a successful, healthy relationship:

1. critical thinking is thinking about what you bring to the other person every hour; every day
2. communicating is about being honest and open - no smoke and mirrors
3. solving problems is what couples are supposed to do - together
4. being ethical is about being honest and not living with secrets or not trying to manipulate
5. integrity is about being consistent and dependable; it's being able to be trusted

A few things for all of us to think about.
