While Gen Z may be wizards at technology, teachers and professors admit that the one thing they're lacking is an aptitude at soft skills - things such as face to face interaction and communication, critical thinking, conflict resolution, etc.
In this episode, I'm joined by Glynis Bell who has been teaching college students these skills for the past few years. Some of the points we cover are:
- Teaching young adults that not everything can be handled on a smartphone - sometimes you have to pick up the phone to call someone or send an actual email
- Parents and adults need to start "offshoring" life tasks to them before they leave the nest. Tasks such as making Drs appointments, simple car maintenance, etc.
- Role-playing with them about potentially hot topic conversations so that they're better prepared for conflict when confronted with them in the real world
Also mentioned in the show is Glynis' book, Fierce and Fabulous: A Young Lady's Guide to Inspiration and Positive Self-Image, which you can purchase by clicking the link!
