Noncognitive Skills = Success

Turn Soft Skills into Hard Data

How Cognitive Skills can Create Institutional and Student Success

It's becoming imperative that students leave school with more than a degree and the so called 'hard skills' their major of study provides them. Noncognitive, or soft skills, have become a point of emphasis for both educational leaders and business executives. Most people agree soft skills play a greater role in student and career success than previously realized, including helping students navigate the challenges school itself presents. From knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs, noncognitive skills are presenting as a major focus in our coaching work. 

Our work on the subject spans higher ed researchers and luminaries like Daniel Greene and Ben Castleman, to in-house research from numerous coaching interactions. Learn the importance noncognitive skills play in getting students to start strong, navigate obstacles, succeed in class, graduate, and achieve career and life dreams. Then, connect with us so we can help your institution and your students apply this emerging work to increase retention, engagement, student success and happiness, and more.
