Welcome to the Week 1 Discussion board! This week, you have been introduced to the 10 Essential Skills in the Learn section of the class. Based on years of research and working alongside notable employer partners, we have identified 10 essential skills necessary for one to be successful in todays workforce and to be positively positioned for the future of work. The 10 Skills are meant to be seen as a core set of universal competencies, apply to every individual, and transcend any degree program, industry, or role.
View the Strayer 10 Skills Hub: Strayer 10 Skills HubLinks to an external site.

Which of the 10 Essential Skills are you hoping to improve the most during this class, and why?
Before you post, remember these rules:
Professionalism: Using personal examples within discussions is encouraged in the course. However, please remember to share only appropriate topics that you might also share with a colleague, potential employer, or professor. Ask yourself, “Would I share this example in an interview?” If the answer is no, refrain from sharing it here.
Respond with respect: Respond to at least one learner in the class by offering thoughtful ideas and respectfully asking follow-up questions. This is a learning community where your peers and myself will learn and grow from reading your posts. Be mindful of your tone when responding to the main prompt and your peers.
