Something we should mention more is how some "soft skills" are key for SEO:

* Accurate/effective verbal & written communication w/ tech & non-tech people

* Connecting & influencing others work/decision making

* Proactivity/curiosity/creativity for problem solving

...
...

* Assertiveness in stressful/conflictive scenarios

+ a few others!

The more "senior" position/role you have, the most important these skills become.

These will also usually be developed naturally with experience (although they can be learned as everything else)...

...
...

Agency roles are also particularly useful to develop them, as you need to go through more projects w/ different teams & scenarios.

Remember this next time you look to learn/improve a new skill: Many of those that will compound better in your career are "soft" ones.
