The Skill Set

62
Design #223

What are the skills that inform your work, your life, your direction? Call them street smarts, emotional intelligence, soft skills, or pure grit: beyond the degrees, certifications, and resume items lies a different — perhaps more important — world of abilities. These are the skills that truly make us good at what we do, and offer clues to who we are and where we might be headed. Host Cheryl S. Durst, Executive VP, and CEO of the International Interior Design Association has spent a lifetime fascinated by the backstories that reveal where those foundational skills come from. With SkillSet, she taps into those stories to uncover the not-so-apparent abilities that power success. Ever wonder what a NASCAR pit crew chief, an orchestra conductor and a surgeon have in common? Pondering how to tap your team’s hidden talents? Considering whether your own skills might equip you for a whole other career (or a whole other life)? SkillSet explores the fascinating landscape of talent, creativity, and ability through a lens that’s set to “wide-open and deeply curious.”Come join us — and discover your own SkillSet along the way.

    I ADORE THIS PODCAST
    I am a HUGE fan of Cheryl Durst, not only as the decades-long leader of the IIDA but also as a human being. She is as intelligent and inquisitive as she is generous and kind, and with a voice like warm butter to boot. Cheryl is the answer to that age-old question “If you could invite anyone to a dinner party, past or present.” She is hero, a role model and a force. I couldn’t be more excited to be a fly in the wall for these conversations and that we now have access to her brilliance on a weekly basis.
