We live in a technical world. Yet, technical skills can be worthless without human skills. Human skills connect us to our humanity, our personality, and our ability to communicate and interact with others. So why is it that human skills are not even taught in schools?

How to Be Human in a Technical World is a powerful account for the technically minded who want to change their behavior and lives but don’t know where to start. The first step, asserts author Karine Leblanc, is to increase their emotional intelligence and learn her recipe for success with the Six Magic Skills.

Full of real-life stories, research, practical tools, and action steps, this book is the solution to every analytically minded left-brain thinker who desires more from their career, their relationships, and their life.

Empowering, thought-provoking, and inspiring, Leblanc demonstrates step by step how you can develop human skills, track your progress over time, and change the subtle behaviors that are sabotaging you from the inside out.

Karine is the Past-President of the National Speaker Association Los Angeles Chapter. She has received the ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award and John F James International Award.

She is a certified John Maxwell coach, trainer, and speaker, a certified behavioral analysis consultant, a Heroic Public Speaking graduate Alumni, and an eSpeakers certified virtual presenter.
