I can’t stress enough how people want to work with people who are good to work with, and that extends beyond pure technical skills.

Do you communicate needs well? Are you a good listener? Do you advocate for others? Are you able to balance being professional and fun well?

It’s about emotional intelligence—understanding when to lead, when to listen, and how to make others feel heard. Being reliable, adaptable, and positive goes a long way. Have you had any experiences where someone’s soft skills (or lack of them) made a big impact?

Exactly! Technical skills can get your foot in the door, but it's your ability to work well with others that keeps you in the room. People want teammates who make collaboration easier, not harder.

If you are a good communicator, who listens and advocate for others be sure you advocate for your self too.

Otherwise the technical a**hole gets the promotion and your whole team is worse off.

I can definitely balance being professional and fun well. 😎

You do not need to be amongst the best in the world doing [the service you offer].

Being great is enough if you are responsive, punctual, transparent and reliable.

That’s a solid perspective. Consistency and professionalism often matter more than being the absolute best. People value reliability, communication, and trustworthiness just as much—if not more—than raw talent.

Would you say this applies to your podcast as well?

Agreed.
