Essential Skills for Success our Kids Aren’t Learning | POF148

If you are looking for a great grad gift, you’ll want to consider my guest’s book: “Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You”. Why you ask? Because the way our kids are being taught to prepare for their future is NOT TEACHING THEM THE SKILLS THEY REALLY NEED!

My guest, Mark Herschberg (he’s amazing - read his bio below!) and I talk about the skills our kids need to learn in order to have jobs they love, make a great income and have everything they want in life and for their families. BUT in order to be really successful, there are relevant, timeless and universal skills our kids need to learn so they can make more money, thrive in their careers and have a happy life!

Being successful in any career and life isn't about how smart you are but more about how you can relate to other people and communicate effectively. In my conversation with Mark, we talk about these skills:

• Career Planning
• Working Effectively
• Interviews
• Leadership
• Management
• Communication
• Networking
• Negotiations
• Ethics
• Developing these skills at an organisation

Every parent of a teenager or grad needs to hear what Mark has to say!
