Technology equips us with a variety of tools to help navigate the various aspects of relationship management and business development, but as the modes of communication continue to evolve, so must our ability to connect.

Particularly in client-facing industries like financial services, and in today’s modern work setting which considers the notable shift to remote work, there is a growing need for professionals with strong interpersonal skills. Active listening, problem-solving, written communication skills, and understanding social and cultural cues are some of the most sought-after skills in today’s job market and given that relationships are established across a variety of mediums, honing these skills is a prerequisite for success.
