WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: Top 5 “soft-skills” every Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) specialist should espouse

(This post is inspired by a discussion I had with one of my mentors, Sean Southey.)

Be able to work effectively with partners.


Meet your audience where they are, not where you want them to be. IE: Never PRESUME you know the answers, until you validate and check. (This means FOCUS GROUP, FOCUS GROUP, FOCUS GROUP.)
 
 
Be open to learning -- this field is ALWAYS changing ... and so you need to know you will always need to change and grow with it.


Do GREAT work. Not good, but great. That is where excellence and reputation and results come from.
 
 
Focus on relationships -- they are the one thing that is fixed in a complex world. You will always have the respect of your colleagues regardless of where you work!
