Global Resilience Conference: Integrated Learning & Leader Development by Global Challenges Forum―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.









“Be humble because you are made of mud. Be noble because you are made of the stars.” —Serbian Proverb


I participated in several panel discussions and keynoted conferences globally especially in Malaysia. In August 2018, I received an invitation from Global Challenges Forum (GCF) Foundation and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)  to moderate the panel for their conference titled ‘Leadership Development for Building Resilience’ and participate in visioning exercise at the end of the conference. It was successfully conducted on October 03, 2018 in New Delhi, India. I enjoyed moderating the panel discussion. I had the privilege to interact with thought leaders, eminent experts and intellectuals including Dr. Ken Gnanakan, Mr John Samuel and Dr. Sanaya Nariman. At the end of the conference, Walter Christman, Chairman  and I brainstormed; collected ideas from the audiences from different areas; and polished them to create Delhi Declaration.

Soft skills: toward a sanctimonious discipline ―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D in Soft Skills







Dear friends,

I am excited to share with you the publication of my award-winning research paper titled, ‘Soft skills: toward a sanctimonious discipline’ in the special edition of the prestigious Emerald journal ‘On The Horizon’ URL: https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/OTH-06-2017-0034  with a free access for a short period URL: https://www.emeraldinsight.com/eprint/HUIYGRVQUHVQKEXNKK9I/full 

I have earned my PhD in soft skills in 2011 and published six books and I am striving hard to achieve sanctimonious status to “Soft Skills” as a discipline globally. I debunked several myths about soft skills and offered right definition to soft skills. I do research regularly to create curriculum for global educational institutions and companies; measure soft skills; and ensure takeaways to learners and leaders at all levels including chief executives. Here are some quotes on Soft Skills.

“Soft skills are a collection of skills that are essential to survive and succeed in personal, professional, and social life.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Soft skills are polite and pleasing way of communicating with others, whereas hard skills are what you contribute in the workplace. Soft skills complement your hard skills. Precisely, soft skills are presentation of your hard skills in the workplace. Soft skills are interpersonal skills, whereas hard skills are job-related skills.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“With hard skills, you can manage your boss; and with soft skills, you can lead your boss.” —Professor M.S. Rao
“Your hard skills help you acquire employment and your soft skills help you ensure your employability.  Hence, integrate hard and soft skills to fast-track your career.” —Professor M.S. Rao
“The way hard and soft skills are essential to achieve your career success, ‘what you know’ and ‘who you know’ are essential to fast-track your career.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Hard skills can be automated, not soft skills because soft skills are interpersonal skills and closely related to emotional intelligence which are hard to teach, train and impart to humans.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
