What if the skills you've been told are "soft" are actually the most powerful tools in your leadership arsenal? In this episode, Megan Winkler challenges the outdated narrative around soft skills and makes a compelling case for reframing them as human performance skills: a shift that's more than semantic. Drawing on research from Google, Harvard, and McKinsey, Megan unpacks why emotional intelligence, relational awareness, and interpersonal effectiveness have long been undervalued, and why that needs to change if you're serious about leading high-performing teams.Language shapes how we see ourselves, and the words we use around these skills directly impact whether we invest in them or dismiss them. Megan digs into the history behind why relational skills were sidelined in the first place and how reclaiming the way we talk about them can shift both self-perception and decision-making at every level of leadership. She also introduces The SHE Disruption program and personalized human design readings as practical pathways for embodying these skills in your own life and work.Learn more about The SHE Disruption here & hop on the waitlist: https://www.meganwinkler.com/divine-feminine-leadership-programFollow Megan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsmeganwinkler/Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/theglowupcircle
