助你職場晉升的軟技能

　　After working five years as a regional director at a large health insurer in Oakland, Calif., Daniel Eddleman felt ready to move up the ladder. So he found a mentor within the company who agreed with Mr. Eddleman that his performance and leadership ability merited the promotion.

　　在加州奧克蘭一家大型醫療保險公司擔任了五年區域總監之后，丹尼爾埃德曼(Daniel Eddleman)覺得自己已做好了晉升的準備。因此，他在公司內部找了一名與他意見一致的導師，認為他憑借自身業績和領導能力理應升職。

　　But he'd need to work on a few soft skills to clinch the job. 'It can be a challenging environment to get noticed in because it's such a big organization,' says Mr. Eddleman, who connected with a job coach who helped him identify and work on three weak areas─including the ability to self-assess, manage his emotions and brag.

　　不過，若要贏得那個職位，他還需磨煉幾項軟技能。埃德曼說：“公司的規模非常大，要在那種環境中獲得關注可能會很困難。”為此他聯系了一名職場教練，后者幫助他確定并加強他的三個弱項，其中包括自我評價、情緒控制和自夸的能力。

　　'I realized that I can sometimes come on too strong. I learned to let the moment pass so I could have the space to make a calm decision. I also learned how to acknowledge my own accomplishments to the right people by feathering them into conversation, which is something that I've never been comfortable doing,' says Mr. Eddleman, who ended up getting the promotion to vice president.

　　埃德曼說：“我意識到自己有時候會表現得過于強硬，我學會了緩一緩，這樣我就能有余地做出冷靜的決定。我還學會了如何就我自己的成就向適當的人表示感謝，在談話中提到他們，這一點我以前是從來都不愿意做的。”最終他被提拔為副總裁。

　　Most people are terrible at self-assessment, a core skill that is needed to succeed, says Peggy Klaus, an executive coach from Berkeley, Calif., and author of 'Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It.'

　　來自加州伯克利的高管教練佩吉克勞斯(Peggy Klaus)稱，大多數人都很不善于自我評價，而這是獲得成功所需的一項核心技能。克勞斯也是《自夸之道：如何巧妙地展現自我》(Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It)一書的作者。

　　'It's not easy to turn the mirror back on yourself and be absolutely honest,' she says. 'And it's hard for other people to give difficult feedback. But you need to encourage honest feedback from third parties…who can help give you a more objective viewpoint that you can act on.'

　　她說：“要把自己的方方面面都展現出來，又要做到絕對誠實并非易事，而且做出不利的反饋對別人來說也很難。但是你需要勸說第三方給予誠實的評價......他們能給你帶來一個你能據此行事的更客觀的視角。”
