Soft Skills are Not Soft

November 29, 2023 06:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MB

Hard skills were the foundation for hiring talent for way too long. Soft skills were considered, well, soft.

Not the leaders, not the team, and not the company. Take a listen to find out why.  In thi...

Mentees, regardless of age, see great benefits but have you also thought about how incredible it is to be a mentor? In this episode we’re going to talk all about the importance of m...

Is Your Non-Preference Sending the Wrong Message

October 18, 2023 05:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

We want to be accommodating and easy going, the kind of woman who wants to ‘go with the flow’ so we say thinks like, ‘Whatever you want,” “I don’t care,” or “You decide.” While we think this is helpful to others and sends the message that we can take the backseat, it actually can send the opposite message from what you are trying to portray.  In this week’s episode, we are exploring the ideas around not having a preference and encouraging you to take a stand. In this episode we’re talking ...

The Grammy’s really struck a nerve in us. We were traveling for business and missed them and instead of seeing news dropping about the music, the performances, and the winners, my news feed was blowing up with negative, nasty comments about the work Madonna had done.  It stopped us in our tracks and we rearranged all of our podcasts to quickly produce this one. We have to address what is going on here. Madonna was crucified for the work she had done. Paulina was destroyed for not having w...
