SELF-LEADERSHIP - SOFT SKILLS - Wrapping It Up

Welcome to Episode 250 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I wrap up our 2022 Self-Leadership series on Soft Skills.

SOFT SKILLS are defined as “interpersonal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people while performing those technical or hard skills you have learned.”

SOFT SKILLS are essential to the growth and development of all LEADERS. Current and Future Leaders that work to continually improve those soft skills are on the fast track to becoming GREAT LEADERS.

I say they will become GREAT LEADERS because they do not rest on their laurels. These future GREAT LEADERS keep moving forward, they keep improving and most of all, they keep growing.

In this episode, I recap the past episodes in this SOFT SKILL series and share my insights as to what prompted me to start this series.

Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 18 minutes and listen to the Episode 250 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!

SELF-LEADERSHIP - SOFT SKILLS - LISTENING

Welcome to Episode 249 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about the SOFT SKILL of LISTENING.

LISTENING is defined as “to pay attention to sound” or “to hear something with thoughtful attention: give consideration” or “to be alert to catch an expected sound”.

LISTENING is also, the greatest tool in the Soft Skills arsenal. Without it none of all the other soft skills would never get off the ground. Without having the ability to listen why bother becoming a leader. Seriously, if your plan is to put in just enough to get you by, there is truly no point in thinking you have it in you to lead others.

LISTENING is the foundation of any leadership development or leadership growth process. Thus, Listening is the foundation of the Walking Leader. It is all about getting out there, getting to know those you lead, and to connect with them because you are listening and paying attention.

Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 20 minutes and listen to the Episode 249 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!

SELF-LEADERSHIP - SOFT SKILLS - PROBLEM SOLVING

Welcome to Episode 248 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about PROBLEM SOLVING.

When it comes PROBLEM SOLVING as a Soft Skill one thing is certain: Everyone needs to know what it takes to and how to problem solve. Problems come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and easy to address, while others are long term and may require plenty of attention just to define what exactly is the problem. Once all that is made known, then can the process to resolve be defined and ultimately implemented.

PROBLEM SOLVING as a soft skill can be mastered. Mastery may require a lifetime of learning. However, the results will be more than you could imagine. The market for those that can effectively and efficiently solve problems is huge because like death and taxes are two other certainties. Problems will always be there, thus problem solvers will always be needed.

Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 15 minutes and listen to the Episode 248 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!
