Soft Skills are Not Soft
Hard skills were the foundation for hiring talent for way too long. Soft skills were considered, well, soft. We know this is no longer the case and, we, refuse to call them soft skills because we know from all the work we do with organizations, these are the POWER SKILLS that separate successful individuals and organizations.
Why do we call them power skills? Because without them, no one has power. Not the leaders, not the team, and not the company. Take a listen to find out why.
In this episode, we’re talking about…
Power skills are more critical than ever, especially with the rise of AI. The soft skills of empathy, co-elevating, coaching, and curiosity, these are things lacking in the workplace and if we can do more work to educate and apply them then it’ll be interesting to see how the workplace can change. The combination of AI and soft skills will become the powerhouse of business success.
Power Skills are hard to measure. We know creating psychological safety in organizations is the biggest driver in team success and overall results. They are measurable, we have just been using the wrong system for measuring them.
Critical Power Skills, Time management, Communication, Adaptability, Problem-solving, Teamwork, Creativity.
How to develop your Power SkillsThe Modern Gen X Woman Podcast is one of the favorite podcasts for women in midlife.

Find Your Glimmers This Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving, Jackie and Mimi are talking off the cuff about appreciation and gratitude, and we're introducing you to 'Glimmers.'
A glimmer is a psychological term because it is the opposite of a trigger Glimmers in everyday life are small, spontaneous moments where you feel calm, peaceful, present, joyful, or all of the above. However, how a glimmer looks can vary from person to person.
The holidays can be tough for some but with 'Glimmers of Hope, Happiness, and Joy" you too can find peace.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic Content
I absolutely love this podcast. As a 50 something woman who has had a career at the same global company for over 20 years, so much of what these ladies discuss resonates with me. Every week I find myself nodding my head as I listen to their stories and I always come away feeling less alone. Highly recommend to any woman who is continuing to set goals and create new dreams.
Love the show, better mics please
Love this show! As a woman of this generation there are only so many Millennial podcasts I can deal with, and you guys are right on the money with meaningful dialogue for women our age! So thank you. However I have one suggestion: please get better quality microphones. Think Terry Gross, think Ezra Klein, think The Daily, think Post Reports. I don’t think good mics cost much and the benefits far outweigh the cost. There have been numerous studies showing that consumers of audio/visual media are willing to put up with bad video as long as the audio quality is high — so you can imagine the implications for podcasts. Anyway I’ll listen to you guys regardless , but man a good mic would be gratifying to me and other listeners. Thanks for all you do!
All the stuff nobody talks about
I absolutely adore this podcast. The hosts are Knowledgable and engaging. They and their guests highlight so many aspects of navigating careers and life as a Gen X woman. Gen X got their name from being the generation everyone forgot about. Middle age and older women are invisible in our society. I love tuning into this podcast because it makes me feel seen and understood.
