Stephen Warley describes himself as "happily unemployable" after nearly 20 years of working for himself when the dotcom bubble and the 2008 recession disrupted his career and the broadcast industry forever. 

Stephen has recognized and distilled a discreet set of unchangeable human characteristics that are rarely emphasized in traditional settings.  Stephen helps clients build new businesses and prepare for the future of work by focusing on the life skills that matter.

In this episode, we discuss the three most important life skills and how they work together to future-proof any business. Stephen identifies the four learning curves that happen simultaneously when learning how to work for yourself.

Learn how Stephen's 30 day accelerator program can help you transition from traditional employment to self-employment, launch your business idea or help you get traction if your new business is struggling.

​

Stephen makes a convincing case that there are three critical skills that have helped humans adapt to an ever-changing landscape of work throughout history. 

There has never been a more important time to identify and develop these skills.

Jennifer Gallagher began her career in corporate training and development and leveraged both hard and soft skills to choose work that aligned with her goals and values. She describes how she leveraged her skills and willingness to learn to create two new and completely different opportunities.

Jennifer is a veteran digital marketing and life consultant. After leaving her corporate position, she began a career in the online world 13 years ago as a Virtual Assistant (VA), became an online business manager, and then ran a large VA firm with her “partner-in-crime”, Bethany Hannah for 7 years. 

Through their time managing the VA firm, Jennifer and Bethany helped entrepreneurs strategize and run 6 & 7-figure launches, showcase their expertise and build their business in a way that was authentically them.

When Jennifer and Bethany realized that they shared a calling to help ONE MILLION women create the business and life of their dreams, their business, "Intentional Fate" was born. 

Jennifer and I discuss both soft and tangible skills that allowed her to cherry-pick opportunities throughout her life and career. Many of the skills we discussed were self-taught with the help of modern technology and tools (Hello Google and Youtube!). These skills include:

• Communication
• Training and presentation skills
• Google and Youtube search to learn software and apps
• Various email marketing, project and time management software
• Marketing
• Strategic cold-calling
• Facebook live, Pinterest
• Basecamp, BambooHR, Paymo, Teamwork

• Intentionalfate.com to help you get INTENTIONAL about your business and your life. 
• Intentional Fate facebook page where you can get tips, strategies and watch Jen and Bethany on fb live.
• Join the facebook group: Women Entrepreneurs Getting Intentional
