Episode 8: Minisode: Passionate Rant about ”Soft Skills”!

Culture Unwrapped is a lighthearted yet informative podcast for anyone with an interest in company culture - Leaders, HR and People professionals alike. 

 

Brought together by Smart Works UK, Jo and Rachel connected over their common purpose to help humans find their confidence to achieve the things that matter to them. 

 

Jo Smedley is co founder and director of Zest Learning Ltd, a business geared up to help build performance and create cultures where individuals and teams can thrive and inspire. 

 

Rachel Gilfrin is a Confidence & Career Performance Coach who is hugely passionate about accelerating gender diversity within leadership roles, by working with women and organisations to support female talent to rise up. 

 

In today's episode, Rachel & Jo rant on their frustration with the way "soft skills" are described and approached within organisations. We want to ban the term soft skills and rename to essential capability building - as they are indeed essential. Let's put a stop to HR being referred to as the "fluff". Tune in for a new perspective on how soft skills should be approached.
