İnanılmaz derecede güçlü “yumuşak” becerilere sahibim, ancak uzmanlaşıp bir meslek geliştiremedim

Geçmişim klasik bir liberal sanat eğitimiydi ve profesyonel olarak son on yılda üst düzey müşteri hizmetleri görevlerinde bulundum, ancak hareketsiz duruyorum. Belirli bir meslekte gelişmek istiyorum ve sosyalliğime dayanarak iyi şeyler yapabileceğimi biliyorum, ancak a) ne konuda uzmanlaşacağımı ve b) söz konusu sektörde müşteri hizmetleri dışı bir rolde bunu nasıl yapacağımı bilmiyorum (ki bunlar kaçınılmaz olarak tuzaklardır).

    You’re not “unspecialized.” You’re *over-generalised* … and that’s a different problem with a solvable fix.

    Soft skills don’t become a vocation on their own. They become leverage **once they’re anchored to a domain that has stakes, budgets, and consequences**.

    The trap you’re feeling isn’t customer service … it’s *front-line proximity without ownership*.

    Here’s the reframe that matters:
    You don’t pick a specialization by asking “What am I good at?”
    You pick it by asking **“Where does my judgment reduce risk, friction, or loss?”**

    High-leverage paths that convert strong interpersonal skill into non-trap roles:

    • **Account / Partner Management** (owns relationships *and* revenue)

    • **Program / Project Management** (owns coordination, timelines, outcomes)

    • **Operations / Enablement** (owns systems that make people effective)

    • **UX Research / User Strategy** (owns interpretation, not support)

    • **Sales Engineering / Solutions** (if you can translate needs into structure)

    These are not “customer service” roles.
    They sit *behind* the interaction, not beneath it.

    How to specialize without going back to square one:

    1. Pick **one industry** you already understand (SaaS, healthcare, education, logistics, etc.).

    2. Map where decisions are made *after* the customer conversation ends.

    3. Target roles that touch customers **but aren’t judged by volume or scripts**.

    4. Add one hard edge: tooling, methodology, or certification — not to become technical, but credible.

    Examples:

    • Program Management → Agile / Scrum / delivery metrics
    • Ops → process mapping, KPIs, systems thinking
    • UX → research methods, synthesis, reporting
    • Account roles → forecasting, renewal strategy, revenue ownership

    You don’t escape the trap by avoiding people.
    You escape it by **owning what happens because of the conversation**.

    Final truth:

    People with strong soft skills stagnate only when they stay *visible but unaccountable*.

    The moment you’re responsible for outcomes, not interactions, your ceiling moves.
