Feedback that creates change is an advanced communication skill. As leaders grow, the way they give and receive feedback must evolve too. What worked early in your career won’t always work when you’re leading diverse teams, peers, senior leaders, and stakeholders. At higher levels of leadership, feedback isn’t...

Many professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs still underestimate the power and effects of soft skills—and it’s costing them more than they realize. I had a great live conversation with the host of Hardcore Soft Skills podcast Yadira (Yadi) Caro on why soft skills are often dismissed, which...
