Let’s be honest, when you reach a certain age, you don’t want to go to a training class anymore. You don’t feel like reading another business book or sitting in a seminar. But what happens when you know that you need a certain skill? Listen to a podcast!

You can listen to a podcast when you are commuting, walking the dog, grocery shopping or cooking. It’s a fast way to listen and learn and better yet, you'll feel like you accomplished two things at once. I selected seven skills and matched eight podcasts to get you started. (Two different ones for leadership.)
