There are hard skills and there are soft skills. And no, soft skills are not being the funniest person in the room or a social butterfly in the corporate cafeteria.

You may have a proclivity toward one or the other, but both are learnable. Just know that once you’re valued for not only for your hard skills, but your soft skills, too, that's when you’ll get promoted.

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife, a new podcast where Vanessa & Holland answer your real questions about real work in corporate America. Covering topics from quitting to interviewing to negotiating to resumes and meetings. It’s about knowing the rules of the game so you can get what you want.
