PODCAST EPISODE #28

Passing Soft Skills Training To The Next Gen

JD Solomon knows how to Communicate with Finesse. With his work at JD Solomon Inc, he has spent his career supporting industries that manage technically-trained professionals. His work focuses on the importance of both your hard and soft skills, and what it takes for a professional to have both and be well-positioned as a leader. Our conversation spans from why it is critical for the workforce to have stronger virtual programs to support a hybrid workplace to the new dynamic we’ll see from two thirds of our workforce soon to be made up of GenZ and Millennials – and the lack of mentorship if we don’t do something soon. Learn more about JD’s work in this week’s episode!
