 students welcome to module 189 of introduction to data science in this module, we will talk about soft skills like in any IT system, software is important as a data scientist or in any of your professional life, in your career your technology, your expertise, your subject-battery expertise software skills is also important in fact it is more important than that we will cover these things from this angle in this module which will help you in your professional career how you can make use of soft skills soft skills are very very important in our language, soft skills are basically based on soft skills your communication skills are there communication skills are not just about talking in fact listening is also important we will talk about professional environment but in your career where your future is where you are going to grow in your industry where you want to progress it is very important to understand these things how soft skills help you as I was talking about communication in communication your body language your words all these things matter one more important thing is be yourself during your meetings basically what we are talking about we have seen how a data scientist has to go through the expectations of people the problems you have to solve you have to understand the business dynamics all these soft skills are important when you go somewhere you should go to another industry as a fresh graduate if you go back to your career when you go from one school to another then things change this is what professional speaking is to understand what is the best way that is your communication skill to understand the context of what you are talking about when we talk about subject matter expertise problem solving when you have good soft skills then it is very easy for you to do these things you can quickly do these things in your control by using and developing your soft skills you can practice and adopt these soft skills but you will not get these from books or lectures or teaching you can do that practice is necessary for software development soft skills are also necessary for their learning one is your skill set one is your attitude this is a very important role play when you are a team player when you are working in a company in an organization when you are a central point because I explained you earlier data scientist understands the whole organization he understands the whole environment he knows the problems of the business where is the solution whereas the rest of the people do not there is a positive impact some people in our society not only in our society but they develop sort of attitude that they do not matter so much or they start pretending that they know a lot although in today's time knowledge is good but there is no limit any person should say that he is not smart that he should start understanding that I know a lot so basically again this is part of your soft skills that you have to control these things so be yourself and your technical skills you get python, statistical modeling software coding all these things are there but at the same time you have to develop your communication skills your interpersonal skills your team skills all these things you have to manage and start working on these things from today you do not have to wait you will go to the industry then you will start working on these things you start working on these things from today and there is always room for improvement masha Allah you must have been a good communicator and a good team player but at the same time the soft skills like the rest of the skills you always need improvement so please keep on working on these areas now I have talked about communication empathy is to understand the problem of other people without telling if you have a problem in any industry then you should understand the problem of it that will help you that you should I mean you are working together you too can do any work technically or non-technically if you have HR then you can do any work with HR so empathy is very very important that you should understand the position of the other person without telling so this is empathy then apart from that what we have talked about teamwork teamwork is very important all these things are very important in your career that you should work on your communication skills like I said in communication listening is more important that you should understand their problems listen and make your notes try to understand and then come up with your solutions so just to conclude this module please make sure that you focus on your soft skills and develop your roadmap I have written some points in this slide before discussing try to work one by one on them like I have talked about body language I have talked about eye contact so make sure that you work on all these things and be yourself you don't have to pretend to copy someone else what he does in meetings how he discusses how he presents so do all these things and be natural so all these skills will help you and your soft skills they will help you to progress more in your professional life than your hard skills thank you
