What soft skills should all Business Planning Analysts possess?

I will reiterate communication as a soft skill to lean into as an analyst. Within that space comes excellent listening skills, negotiation skills, and change management exposure. Additionally, integrity and curiosity are two soft skills to develop. These are not as easily demonstrated on a resume, but as an analyst, it is important to hold yourself to high moral standards, respect others, be reliable and trustworthy, hold yourself accountable, and remain curious- approaching work as a life-long learning opportunity. Enthusiasm and interest in studying and analyzing data and financial information to ultimately provide solutions to problems that help companies adapt and change are important for you to feel fulfilled in this role and to do a good job!
