Everyone is talking about the importance of developing a new skillset for our digitalized age. Two important skills are the ability to collaborate and the competence to build meaningful relationships that help you tap into knowledge, explore new opportunities or create new possibilities you might not have otherwise had.  

 “Working Out Loud (WOL) helps you to develop this 21st century skill, which is finding people related to a goal you care about, and then building relationships with them that increase the chances of information exchange, cooperation and collaboration. Every company on the planet needs you to be able to do that! Further, having a strong network provides you with more chances to be successful. Thus, practicing WOL is like buying yourself career insurance.” (John Stepper)   

However, there are still many situations in companies where employees are aggressively competing with each other instead of exchanging knowledge. This unfortunately leads to a tragic waste of human and corporate potential. In this episode of the digital leaders podcast I had the pleasure of talking with John Stepper – the founder of WOL – about how the practice working out loud can change that.   

After our conversation I am really excited to become part of a WOL circle. How about you?
