My daughters - our daughters - deserve better than this.

On this episode of The Edge, I’m joined by Simone Sloan to discuss the use of emotional intelligence coaching to build sustainable Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within organizations.

Q1/A1 For all of the importance of putting skills at the heart of recruitment and reskilling, we don't have a universal skills taxonomy. And I think it's a tremendous opportunity to create a common language #PMLnDIN

Q1/A1 When we standardize on a skills taxonomy, we can advance skills-based hiring. #PMLnDIN

Q2/A2 One, our skills-based approach to learning needs to be personalized and relevant to the individual. #PMLnDIN

Q2/A2 Two, flexibility. Companies are adopting a workplace strategy that balances the need for interpersonal connection with the desire for flexibility. That flexibility should be built into learning as well - both where and how #PMLnDIN

Q2/A2 Three, Learning must be outcome-driven. People learn best when they are solving problems, so we should focus on outcomes rather than activity metrics. How is learning propelling the org forward. #PMLnDIN

Q3/A3 We have to revisit the way we think about talent. We can't just focus on a "buy" strategy, we must also have a "build/bridge" focus. Talent should be a strategic imperative. We need to foster a culture of curiosity & performance because we must think differently. #PMLnDIN

A4 First, Power Skills. These are sometimes overlooked but essential - empathy, problem solving, critical thinking, communication. Agility. #PMLnDIN

A4. Two, Leadership. Effective leadership is a competency, not a role, and we must invest (and continue to invest) in leaders at all levels in an org..not just senior mgmt. #PMLnDIN

A4. Three, tech skills. Every company is a tech company and every department within an org needs technical skills. Mktg depts like mine are hiring biz analysts and data scientists steeped in various martech. #PMLnDIN

A5. Career Journeys - blended, multimodal, topic-specific skilling programs where we curate technology, business, and interpersonal skill paths that align with specific growth competencies for in-demand roles. #PMLnDIN

A6. Learning from others. I'm excited to hear from so many experts and thought leaders. I look forward to seeing you all! #PMLnDIN

Love means never having to say you’re sorry. Leadership is never forgetting how powerful I’m sorry can be. It's why the note from It's graza still CEO Andrew Benin has gone viral. In a world where form-letter apologies abound, a genuine apology goes far. #leadership bit.ly/3HOSpzs
