What are the skills that inform your work, your life, your direction?
Call them street smarts, emotional intelligence, soft skills, or pure grit: beyond the degrees, certifications, and resume items lies a different — perhaps more important — world of abilities. These are the skills that truly make us good at what we do, and offer clues to who we are and where we might be headed.
Host Cheryl S. Durst, Executive VP, and CEO of the International Interior Design Association has spent a lifetime fascinated by the backstories that reveal where those foundational skills come from.
With SkillSet, she taps into those stories to uncover the not-so-apparent abilities that power success.
Ever wonder what a NASCAR pit crew chief, an orchestra conductor and a surgeon have in common? Pondering how to tap your team’s hidden talents? Considering whether your own skills might equip you for a whole other career (or a whole other life)? SkillSet explores the fascinating landscape of talent, creativity, and ability through a lens that’s set to “wide-open and deeply curious.”

Elevating Experience: The Skill of Empowering Others and Leaning into Beauty
I am so honored to have had the opportunity to talk with Rebecca Walker and learn from her directly about her experience as a writer, feminist, and activist as well as the influence her parents had on her love of art, craft, and memorializing a life well-lived.
In this poetic conversation, Rebecca Walker invites us to lean into beauty and to help empower others to use their voice to instigate change. Drawing from the rich lessons of the past, Rebecca reminds us to believe in people, the power of legacy and to stay curious. Always.
