The Power Skills Project is a free weekly podcast from Assemble You's very own James Wann and Adam Lacey.
You may not have heard the term Power Skills before, but you’ve probably heard of soft skills.
We think Power Skills better acknowledges the importance and impact of things like leadership, resilience, productivity, and communication. Thes transferable superpowers that can be some of the most valuable skills you can develop in life.
We’re all works in progress, and we want to improve ourselves and share our improvements with you - that’s why we chose to call this the Power Skills Project.
Every week, we discuss important skills like active listening, motivating people, or dealing with change. We share research, and reveal facts, quotes and the occasional funny anecdote from our personal experiences.
We'd love for you to drop by and listen in!
