This week’s episode features not one, but two guests! Kelly sits down with Phil Komarny, the Chief Innovation Officer at Maryville University, and Dr. Mark Lombardi, the President of Maryville University, and co-author of the book Pivot – A Vision for the new University.
They talk about the technological approach they are using to center students in their own educational journeys, so learners can discover the pedagogy that best works for them, and collectively we can create better access to higher education at an affordable price and in a flexible way.
Takeaways:
1. The reality is that everyone can be successful & achieve & learn. You just have to find the right key to unlock that lock.
2. Empowering students means you're not the sage on the stage anymore--you're the guide on the side.
3. Revolution in higher ed has to be based on the student, on student data, and on the democratization of knowledge.

One of the most interesting things about humans is that we are amalgamations of our life experiences and our professional experiences. Leverage your network, do your homework, and then be fearless.

Being able to align something you want to have happen in the world with your personality and your business model is the ultimate goal.Follow Fernando on LinkedIn and Twitter @frodriguezvilla

This week, Kelly speaks with Bridgette Gray. Bridgette is the Chief Customer Officer at Opportunity At Work, a founding member of Chief DC, and Leap ambassador. They discuss why STARS (people who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes) are such a valuable untapped resource in today’s workforce, Bridgette’s ultimate career goal, and what it was like being on a Zoom call with Michelle Obama.
Takeaways:
Talent is always equal, opportunity is not. Diversifying talent at work will also help us work on some deep systemic issues in our country. Don’t ever think that there is a place where you can’t continue to grow, learn, and beef up your knowledge, because knowledge is not written in a textbook. It’s the things you have to watch, listen to, and learn about by asking questions.Follow her on LinkedIn and Twitter @BridgetteFGray

With us today is Cleo Haynal. Cleo is the director of lifecycle marketing at Alation. She is also a military spouse who has been benefitting from remote work opportunities long before the pandemic normalized it, and has amazing advice for getting the most out of remote workspaces with her networking tricks and tips.
Big Takeaways:
Two major challenges to employees are that we put a premium on geography that isn't necessarily there, and we judge people's loyalty on external criteria that don’t necessarily correlate to being a high-performing employee. “Whenever I attend a company-wide meeting, I try to write down the name of a person I have not connected with before, and just reach out to them.” Consider negotiating your job description to focus on things that interest you.Can the Hybrid Workplace Help Military Spouses Careers?

This week, we have a special bonus episode for you. Kelly recently had the honor of teaming up with Harvard university's career advisor and best-selling author of The Unspoken Rules; Secrets to Starting Your Career off Right Gorick Ng, Glassdoor’s Learning and Development Senior Manager, Karla Talley, and Coursera’s product designer, Kim Alban for a Fishbowl live event titled Do I Really Need Another Degree?
During the live session, we discussed, whether it's worth the money to take advantage of upskilling opportunities and answered questions from an audience of over 1000 participants, so we are excited to share that recorded session with you here.
Big Takeaways:
We often have a lot of skills that we've learned through informal education and informal work experience. It doesn't matter if it comes from life experience, bring it into work, talk about it, and use that to your advantage at work as well. Find people who have pursued a certain career path that you'd like to pursue. Contact them and see if that graduate degree actually got them closer to where they are, or if they feel like they could have gotten there without that detour. You just need to be in different rooms to help you further. So, it really important to look at growth and development in all facets, to be able to get you where you want to be.Skillsbaby.com

Kelly got to speak with the incredible Ramona Schindelheim about the importance of reskilling to job mobility. Ramona is the editor in chief at WorkingNation, the executive producer and host of the Work in Progress podcast, and an award-winning journalist.
Ramona believes a majorly important component to upskilling is what you can learn on the job.
Big Takeaways:
You really need to invest in the people who work for you to help them find what they're capable of. Listen to them when they say that they can do it and give them the opportunity to do it. Training their workforce is a smart move on the part of the employer. It’s an education benefit to their existing employees so they are going to get really good workers out of it while also putting really skilled people back out into the workforce. Higher education needs to somewhat reinvent itself to put the focus more on the outcome over career.Skillsbaby.com

Kelly is joined by Bill Jensen for some truly inspiring conversation about following your passions and living your best life. Bill is the CEO of the Jensen Group, a best-selling author eight times over, a global speaker, thought leader, futurist, and simpleton.
He believes in simplicity, and that we can make everything simple if we design backward from the receiver's needs.
Check out his new book “The Day Tomorrow Said No”.
Big Takeaways:
1. The way we have learned throughout human history is by telling stories. To make things easy to understand, we simply tell a story.
2. The most important number in business is 1440 - the number of minutes in a day. None of us get any more than that so we have to use them right.
3. The top skills for success are the 3 P's: Perseverance, Personal Agility, and Passion.

To kick off Season 3, Kelly sat down with the amazing Van Ton-Quinlivan to discuss how the healthcare industry is changing and what she believes the future healthcare workforce will need to succeed. Van is the CEO at Futuro Health, the host of Workforce RX podcast, and best-selling author of her newly published book titled “Workforce RX.”
Van believes “at this moment in time, we just need all hands on deck, all parties, whether you're an employer, whether you're an educator, a public policymaker citizen all of us need to have all hands on deck to match workers with the right skills for the right jobs.”
Big Takeaways:
1. The new norm is that we're all constantly needing to upgrade our skills. This means that we have to design "on-ramps" for adults - who don't have the appetite for cumbersome degrees that have a brief shelf life - to skill up.
2. Historically there has been a big gulf between education and employment, but at this moment in time, given the state of the country and even all the updates in public policy, there's a call to bring those two worlds together.
3. Healthcare workers today must have 3 main competencies: clinical skills, technological skills, and cultural competence.

Kelly Ryan Bailey is joined by Producer Sari Weinerman and Entrepreneur in Residence Michelle Smith, to discuss the behind-the-scenes process of making our sister podcast Got Skills.
Learn why they felt a bite-sized show for career seekers was so important to build, what to expect in future seasons, and what they learned while making it!
Big Takeaways:
There is so much language in societal narratives that tries to separate work and life, maintaining they are two distinct things that need to be balanced. But actually, work and life can’t be separated. They exist together like colors blended on a palette. We have spent really the better part of the last century planning our lives around work - planning where we live around where our office is located. But there has been much greater flexibility in that over the past decade and we are so glad to see it continuing to grow. Everybody's kind of going around using their own vocabulary when discussing skills. We want to be able to dissect it from each different perspective, so eventually, everyone can speak the same skills language.Check out Got Skills wherever you get your podcasts, and learn more about Sari and Michelle at skillsbaby.com

In this special episode, host Kelly Ryan Bailey is joined by Lynz Floren, GM, and Executive Producer at Growth Network Podcasts to discuss his career transition during the Great Resignation. Lynz went from his marketing job for the LA County Bar Association to starting a podcast company! Learn what skills he used to make this transition, and why he feels we shouldn’t follow our passions, but our curiosities.
Big Takeaways:
Sometimes people know they are unhappy, but they don’t know what sets them on fire. That’s when they should pursue something they love, whether work-related or not, just to increase their skills. There are just so many ways we can use our hobbies or interests. What we'll see is that a thing that expressed itself in our teenage years resurfaced in our twenties, in our thirties, and our forties, until it was treated with the dignity it deserved and given a spot in our lives. “I would say the number one thing that helped me actually push through from wanting this career to actually doing it was investing in myself. I've been going to therapy almost every week for seven years....that had to help. I've been attending workshops, really intending to learn and network. It sometimes feels like a sideways trip, but I came here with more tools than I would have, had I come directly.” - Lynz FlorenLearn more about Growth Network Podcasts and check out the other awesome podcasts they produce!

As a lead-up to Season 3, host Kelly Ryan Bailey is joined by Producer Sari Weinerman and Entrepreneur in Residence Michelle Smith, to discuss why The Great Resignation is the theme for the upcoming season of the podcast.
The Great Resignation refers to the mass exodus from the workforce we have seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers have had to confront why, where, and how they work, and businesses have had to confront how they operate, compensate employees, and adapt to this big change. Hear from Kelly, Sari, and Michelle about why this is so important, and get a glimpse at what’s to come in Season 3.
Big Takeaways:
The 9 to 5 workday was created 100 years ago, which is why it makes perfect sense that we are now reckoning with the structures, laws, and skills we need in today’s workforce. There is a lot of complexity around the ways businesses have to run to survive, which unfortunately often prevent them from providing the necessary benefits to their workers. “I often wonder why work is still time-based, why we're paid off of the amount of time we work versus the outcome. Something might be able to be accomplished in a shorter amount of time. And does that mean it's less valuable?” - Kelly Ryan BaileyCheck out Got Skills wherever you get your podcasts, and learn more about Sari and Michelle at skillsbaby.com

The Skill: Cognitive abilities and personality traits. Yep, these are skills!
This week, we’re diving into Season 1 Episode 9 of Let’s Talk About Skills, Baby where Kelly speaks with Denise Leaser, President of Great Biz Tools, about the skills and competencies-based platform they created to match job seekers with the jobs they were born to do. Denise explains that what they are not assessing is knowledge. Knowledge can always be learned and added in to supplement someone’s innate strengths. Rather, they are assessing innate cognitive skills, abilities, and personality traits.
Key Takeaway: Instead of trying to measure your knowledge, focus on your capabilities. This will help you find the opportunities that are truly meant for you.
