Episode 23: Soft Skills and the Future of Work with Laura Sukorokoff

What in the world are soft skills? How do we develop them and how can they help us build a better team and career? Contrary to being called 'soft', soft skills are incredibly important and can be a differentiator to help us get to where we're going next. 

 

Laura Sukorokoff has been teaching soft skills for longer than it has been 'cool' to talk about. Laura knows that soft skills aren't about turning a screw or building a program, it is about bringing the best of ourselves to the forefront, and in turn, bringing out the best of others. From empathy to attention, you won't want to miss this episode!

Episode 21: Turning Intentions into Promises with Michel Hogan

How do we shift from thinking about ‘brand’ as a marketing device to a result. Shouldn’t a brand be more than a logo and a tool?

 In this episode, hear from someone whose title may be ‘independent brand council’, but shows quickly what that means and how it extends to so much more than logo and marketing.

Episode 20: Doing Good is Good for Business with Manu Varma

How is it that we really attract the right talent, tell them the right story, and do good at the same time? Shifting from skills-based recruitment to values-based recruiting has been huge in understanding what truly authentic means for Traction on Demand and doubling down on who they are.

For Traction, ‘doing good’ is that thread that keeps everyone together doing something bigger than ‘just’ their job.

 

The meaning of life is to find your gift and the purpose is to give it away. Hear today’s episode from Manu Varma as he shares why doing good is good for business, and what doing good has done for Traction on Demand.
