Let's talk temperament research from back in the day!

Hippocrates and the theory of the four humors is not a new concept and neither are the four old-school terms for temperaments I'm discussing in this podcast.  I'll bet you have heard them before: 


Melancholic 
Choleric 
Sanguine
Phlegmatic

Let's talk about each one and how they show up in life and at work. 

Oh yeah, forgive me for giggling at the names.  My inner 3rd grader kept emerging. :)

What are soft skills and what do they mean to you and the world of work?

Hard skills are a no-brainer for most people.  By hard skills, I mean skills such as typing, computer repair, etc.

But, there is a whole other category of skill sets you will need to be successful.  They're often called soft skills. Not because they're any less important, but because they are a bit more nimble and inconcrete. Still, they are critical to workplace - and life - success.

For example, you could hire someone with all of the necessary hard skills to do a job, but if they are lacking and missing crucial soft skills, they will fail.  No doubt about it. 

Let's talk about it.

Wow.  There is a lot happening in the context of social justice in the world today.  Guess what. It needs to happen in the workplace too.  We've got to really see our "issues" and check them before we perpetuate them onto others. Doing so can leave a bruise - much like the one I talk about in this episode.
