According to recent Google research (Washington Post column 1/5/18), soft skills might be even more valuable now and in the future than we thought.

"Project Oxygen shocked everyone by concluding that, among the eight most important qualities of Google's top employees, STEM expertise came in dead last.  The top soft skills were:  being a good coach; communicating and listening well; possessing insights into others; having empathy toward and being supportive of one's colleagues; being a good critical thinker and problem solver; and being able to make connections across complex ideas."  

Consider the fact that the jobs of tomorrow may not even exist yet. Young people are entering the unknown. There is a greater need to be able to create, innovate, and deal with uncertainty. In a world where getting shot in school is among the top 5 worries of kids,  telling stories that reflect the real while teaching kids to envision a better future becomes a matter of life or death.

Our properties teach and inspire empathy, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity!
