Keynote Topics

Dennis Doran woke up to the realization that his calling was to help people in the construction industry become more successful people by talking, teaching, motivating, and inspiring them about the role of soft skills in our industry.

It is not enough to be good at doing the job. That’s about hard skills: knowledge, skills, and abilities. It is his goal to help good people like you reach your fullest potential by focusing on your soft skills.

Dennis Doran calling is to help people become more successful people by talking, teaching, motivating, and inspiring them about the role of soft skills in our industry.

Everyone can improve every aspect of who they are.  This book will help them understand this truth and more importantly guide them to a plan of action.

“Every time I have the privilege of speaking and teaching, soft skills are the thread that connects all that we do.  I deliver my message with energy and commitment and engage my audience to motivate and inspire them about the fundamental and profound importance of soft skills.”

The construction industry builds the places where people work and live, where people meet and get to know other people, where great relationships can be built and maintained.

Soft as Steel will help leaders in the construction industry and elsewhere understand the fundamental, vital importance of a person’s soft skills.

The book’s title conveys the truth that soft skills are for people what steel is to so many structures – essential to building something strong that will last for a long time.

Soft skills are the difference-maker for people: They are the qualities that are essential to building and maintaining relationships with people in all parts of their lives.
