80. Why Is Everyone Talking About Upskilling?

Upskilling is the hot word in the professional world lately. Whether you are looking to layoff-proof your job, or simply eager to attract more money, clients, and opportunities, it’s never a bad idea to continue growing your skills. As self-professed lifelong learners, we decided to hop on the mic to discuss what areas we want to level up in this year.

We get into:

- hard skills vs. soft skills 

- whether everyone needs to learn AI

- growing your skills with online courses, on nonprofit boards, or at your company

- some of the classes and trainings we’re exploring this year

- and great advice from Your Rich BFF, Shonda Rhimes, and more!
