Previously I have talked about “Training, What Does It Really Do To The Employee And The Company?”, now I will go into some details about Behavioral Training:
Let me begin with defining behavior:
Mavraac is amongst one of the best corporate training companies in the NCR region - Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida (India) with certified trainers for behavioural skills training, outbound training, team building workshops, leadership development programs and employee engagement workshops.
Behavior or behaviouris the range of actions and mannerisms made by organisms, systems, or artificial entities in conjunction with their environment, which includes the other systems or organisms around as well as the physical environment. It is the response of the system or organism to various stimuli or inputs, whether internal or external, conscious or subconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary.
Soft skills is a sociological term relating to a person’s “EQ” (Emotional Intelligence Quotient), the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people. Soft skills complement hard skills which are the occupational requirements of a job and many other activities. Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual’s interactions, job performance and career prospects. Unlike hard skills, which are about a person’s skill set and ability to perform a certain type of task or activity, soft skills relate to a person’s ability to interact effectively with coworkers and customers and are broadly applicable both in and outside the workplace. It has been suggested that in a number of professions, soft skills may be more important over the long-term than occupational skills. The legal profession is one example where the ability to deal with people effectively and politely, more than their mere occupational skills, can determine the professional success of a lawyer. Soft Skills are behavioral competencies. Also known as Interpersonal Skills, or people skills.
According to Wiki.Answers.com; “Soft skills are skills which are difficult to assign an objective numeric measurement to, such as empathy, or “being a people person”. Soft skills are a sociological term which refers to the cluster of personality traits, social graces, ability with language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that mark people to varying degrees. Soft skills complement hard skills, which are the technical requirements of a job. ”
Now that we have defined them, let see the difference between them:
In all the frenzy of training corporate specific topics, people might lose the understanding between soft skills and be behavioral skills
A skill is a behavior or ability a person develops through training or experience, and while all personal skills are behaviors, not all behaviors are skills. For example, telling a joke is a skill; laughing at a joke is a behavior. Some suggest that soft skill stands for the soft communication skills, are skills that does involve enhancement of your capacity as an individual on certain aspects of your work.
Behavioral skills deal with how you interact within your own organisation/corporation and with other members of the human resource to include external individuals that involves your organisational/corporation work. Others suggest that behavioral skills are a set of training to develop certain behavioral skill in people, such as how to attend to calls/complaints, front office/reception etc. The process is mechanical and is not designed to influence profound changes in people. It is delivered through demonstration/modeling, instructions, role-play/rehearsal, and feedback.
All in all, I think it is safe to assume that they are both two sides of the same coin, and most companies use only one to describe the two.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy maximizes effectiveness by drawing from mindfulness and other acceptance-based backgrounds, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other change-based approaches. Without a solid understanding of the dynamic tension between these differing approaches, even skilled therapists can find themselves unable to achieve balanced treatment with complex clients. To other professionals involved in DBT clients’ lives who may not understand DBT themselves (e.g., case managers), the treatment can appear confusing and elusive, or rigid and rule-based. This two-day training explores dialectics and the principles behind acceptance-based strategies and change-based protocols within the treatment. The training will help clinicians better understand, and skillfully provide treatment, using this leading evidence-based practice.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
• Individuals who are already applying DBT in their practice, and/or those who directly supervise other clinicians who provide DBT.
• Those who work with DBT clinicians and desire to better understand the treatment and support clients and clinicians in a DBT program.
• Those who refer clients to DBT programs, or have clients coming out of DBT programs, and who have a desire to better understand concepts guiding the use of acceptance- and change-based treatment strategies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the concept of dialectics and dialectical synthesis
2. Identify key dialectical dilemmas that commonly arise in work with clients, and/or in consultation with other colleagues
3. Find dialectical syntheses for common dilemmas that arise in therapy and in consultation with colleagues
4. Understand the biosocial theory and be able to conceptualize clinical problems using this transactional model
5. Define the basic principles of behaviorism
6. Apply an understanding of behavioral principles to case conceptualizations of client problems
7. Identify the principles driving “rules” in the DBT model
