This week’s guests are Laura Sukorokoff has always had a passion for soft skills and what they can do to transform business. She's taken this passion and built her own training company, designed to help employees and their managers connect, communicate, collaborate, and do great work!
Laura is an entrepreneur, an author, an inspiring and engaging facilitator and speaker. Her book, It’s Not Them, It’s You: Why employees “break up” with their managers and what to do about it, explores the subject of connection and its transformative power in the workplace.
The most effective companies understand the power of engagement and connection—brought together by the development of soft skills. The company she co-founded, Take Charge Learning, takes the message of soft skills (or, as she prefers to call them, power skills!) to businesses everywhere, with special focus on the world of skilled trades.
When not working, Laura enjoys exploring the towns and trails near her Vancouver Island, Canada home with her two dogs, Doug and Murray.
