    001 All About Skills – Communications

    The communications skill is the most important skill you can learn. Basically it is the ability to get ideas out of your head and into the heads of others through reading, writing, listening and speaking. It is a LEARNED SKILL and should be practiced early during any educational experience including K-6.

    002 – All About Skills – Production

    The production skill is quite simple. It's the skill of taking something from the "Idea stage" to the "Final Product" stage. It can be as simple as a group of high school kids having an idea for a float in a homecoming parade to solving the global warming crisis. The skill is the same no matter the complexity of the idea to final product, although the complexity can vary widely.

    003 All About Skills – Information

    The information skill has changed over the past three decades. What once was a skill to seek out and find relevant information to apply to analysis now has become the need for sorting out from literally tons of information to separate the relevant from the irrelevant and the truth from false. Good analysis depends on accurate and true information. Charlie Jett describes the information gathering process.

    004 All About Skills – Analysis

    The Analysis skill is the process of taking information that has been VERIFIED as being true, developing FINDINGS from that information (what the information means or tells us), drawing CONCLUSIONS based on the findings which, in turn, are based on accurate information, and developing RECOMMENDATIONS about what course(s) of action to take. Note that FALSE INFORMATION can lead to conclusions that are either true or untrue - you can't tell. The same is for information that is based on FAITH - or unverified information. With such unverified information, you can draw whatever conclusion you want to draw. That is the danger these days in politics . . . . and, for some, poses a problem for religion. The primary method used is "P implies Q" or P → Q. It can also be stated, "If P then Q."  P is often called the "premise" and Q is called the "conclusion." Q can be assumed to be true if P is true. But if P is NOT TRUE, then you might as well dream up any conclusion you want. Improper use of the Analysis skill, such as deliberately using false information or untrue premises (i.e., LIES) and then drawing conclusions from those - and then recommending action based on the false conclusions IS THE GREATEST DANGER TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!

    005 All About Skills – Technology

    The Technology skill is the skill one uses to SELECT the appropriate technology solution to address a problem. It is NOT the skill which one uses to create technology - such as to design an electronic circuit board - but the skill to USE APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY. Charlie Jett discusses the Technology skill and gives examples of its use.

    006 All About Skills – Interpersonal

    The Interpersonal skill is not the skill you use to make friends. It's the skill that, by using it, results in other people such as your teammates consider you as a valuable asset to the team. It's your way of contributing value to the whole and, in a sense, is an important justification for your compensation. In this short program, Charlie Jett discusses the Interpersonal skill and gives examples of its use.

    007 All About Skills – Time Management

    The time management skill is simple in concept but it is often a struggle for us all. The skill enables an individual to determine which tasks are most important -- to set priorities -- and to devote the appropriate amount of time to accomplish these tasks at a high level of quality. Another way to look at the skill is as Charlie Jett describes: You go to work in the morning and you know you have ten things to do. Four of these are critical . . . but YOU have to determine which four of the ten are in that category. You do your best work on those tasks and, for the others, you do the very best you can do . . . given the time you have left.
