Soft skill strategies from everyday soft skill masterminds.
New examples are added at the bottom of the list.
That’s Where I’m At Podcast With Host Laura Richards
“This show is for women still in the middle of the mess, but showing up bravely as they heal.”
Although this show is for women, my father would have benefited from the first episode. It would have helped him understand the mess my narcissist mother made of their marriage.

“What Are The Difficulties Of Being A Female Repair Tech?
I did get some resistance. Since I was a younger female–I’m 34 now–people would see me getting out of the Mr Appliance truck and look at me cross-eyed. I even doubted myself. When I was still learning the job I had to learn to have confidence in myself, even when customers lacked confidence in me. I just fixed one machine at a time, and felt stronger after each one. There is a lot of personal gratification and self-esteem when you fix a machine and a doubting customer says, “Thank you.” A positive attitude and drive get you a long way.”

5. KNOW YOUR WORTH.
…Latham Thomas, 34, founder and CEO of Mama Glow, a New York City—based company providing labor support, life coaching and other services to pregnant women. In learning how to deal with different people, she also learned how to value herself. “I’ve had to place my worth at a premium—and be willing to walk away—because it’s too much mentally and emotionally to endure some of this work,” says Thomas…

6. SPEAK YOUR COMPANY’S LANGUAGE.
When international retailer Walmart approached former college professor Lisa Williams about placing her line of Positively Perfect dolls in its stores, “I had to learn how to speak Walmart,” says Williams, 50, CEO of World of EPI (Entertainment, Publishing and Inspiration) in San Diego. “I knew research terminology because I’d been a professor. But I had to learn their terminology, their accounting and their financing.” So she studied the business model and the layout of its stores, chatted up shoppers and became a customer herself. Being steeped in a company’s lingo and other workings, Williams says, has enriched her ongoing business conversations with Walmart, among other clients. But, she adds, “People hear your heart language before they hear your words. So when I walk into a room, I carry the love and mission for this work for our children.”

9. CHOOSE A FIRM THAT GETS “YOU.”
“In a field dominated by big, extroverted personalities, the secret to Leontyne Green Sykes’s success has been landing a role with a company where an introvert’s quiet leadership is respected. ‘Earlier in my career, a manager said, “You’re great, but you really need to promote yourself and spend more time socializing.’”That was a bit of a struggle for me, and eventually left me exhausted,’ says Sykes, 44, chief marketing officer for Ikea U.S. near Philadelphia. She took the current position because Ikea, as a core principle, does not require that everyone think and behave the same way, she explains. ‘Find an environment that accepts who you are as a human being and a professional,’ she says.”
