The Reflective Human
“Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. ”
STOP. BREATH. THINK.
At The Reflective Human we are removing the paywall often found in-front of online soft skills training courses, and making them available free of charge on our website. While soft skills are often sold as necessary tools for professional development and success, we believe these are essential skills that should be available to all if we want a society that balances progress with compassion. We believe that by grounding our actions in empathy and rational thought, we can work towards a future that respects the dignity of every person, nurtures our environment and supports sustainable growth for all.
