Audio stories
149 narrated stories across the twenty-eight skills — three to ten per skill, sized for a commute rather than a classroom.
Soft Skills
The twenty-eight capabilities that decide whether the rest of your skills ever land.
Twenty-eight capabilities, grouped by the four dimensions that organise everything you do at work.

About this programme
These are the skills that get called soft until the week they are the only thing that matters. Each one starts with a short self-assessment so you find out where you actually stand, then gives you audio you can listen to on a commute and a quiz that checks whether it stuck. You leave each skill with something you can use in a conversation you are already dreading.

What you'll be able to do
- Read a room before it turns
- Say the hard thing without losing the person
- Finish what you start when nobody is checking
- Know which of your instincts to trust under pressure
How we measure what you learn
Behavior comes before self-perception.
What this programme develops
- Inner Power
- How you know, steady, and trust yourself under pressure — the intrapersonal base the other three build on.
- Cognitive Edge
- How you think, question, and keep learning — reasoning, sense-making, and openness to new ideas.
- Relational Intelligence
- How you read, connect with, and work through other people.
- Execution Power
- How reliably you turn intent into done — planning, follow-through, and adapting when conditions change.
Three deliberate design choices
- We triangulate. Capability is read from behavioral frequency, situational reaction, metacognitive reflection, and self-rating together — not a single response mode. Converging signals are harder to fake than one Likert scale.
- We weight behavior over belief. Self-perception and confidence stay in the picture but are intentionally down-weighted, directly countering the self-flattery that undermines most soft-skills self-assessments.
- We keep the score clean. Motivation, friction, and context are valuable for how you grow — but because they measure preference and circumstance rather than capability, they are excluded from the capability score itself.
This is a formative self-assessment: a mirror for reflection and development. It is not a selection, ranking, or diagnostic instrument, not a personality test, and it produces no clinical or hiring judgment.
We are precise about scope on purpose. The design draws on recognised approaches — behavioral-frequency evidence, situational-judgment-style scenarios, and metacognitive reflection — and the dimensions map naturally onto EU competence frameworks such as LifeComp and ESCO. We have not run formal psychometric validation (reliability coefficients, factor analysis, norming), and we don't claim it. What we do claim is a coherent, behavior-first measurement design with an honest account of what each signal means and how much it counts.
The dimensions map naturally onto EU competence frameworks — notably LifeComp (personal, social, and learning-to-learn competences), ESCO, and EntreComp — alongside the OECD's work on skills, so what you measure here fits the frameworks universities and employers already use.

What comes with it
Every skill in the programme comes with the same machinery — assessment, audio, tactics, and a picture of where you stand.
Self-assessments
A behaviour-first questionnaire per skill that places you before you begin, and a short reassessment after you've practised.
Constellation map
Your capability across all four dimensions in one view — and it ages on purpose, so six months of not practising shows.
Tactics gallery
Each audio story unlocks a tactic you can apply the same afternoon. They accumulate into a playbook that is specifically yours.
Community & challenges
Weekly challenges, practice rooms, and circles — because the skills in this programme are hard to rehearse alone.
Badges & streaks
47 badges across four rarity tiers, plus streaks — momentum for a programme with no cohort and no deadline.
Learning planner
Schedule sessions and set reminders, with calendar integration. Fifteen minutes booked beats an afternoon intended.
Certificate
Complete the full programme for a verifiable certificate with distinction levels and a public verification link.
Common questions
Do I have to do all twenty-eight?
No. The assessment points you at the ones that are currently costing you most, and you can work in any order. Completing all of them earns a certificate, but most people start with two or three.
What does one skill involve?
A short self-assessment, a set of audio stories you can listen to while doing something else, a practical tactic you can apply the same day, and a quiz to check it landed.
Can I see my progress over time?
Yes. Your results form a constellation across the four dimensions, and it decays over time on purpose — capability you have not exercised in six months is shown as ageing, not banked.
Is there a certificate?
Completing the full programme issues a verifiable certificate with a public verification link. It records what you completed and how you scored, not merely that you attended.
