Identify Your Transferable Skills With Erica Sosna & Zoë Schofield

Ever feel like you’re not sure how to talk about what you’re actually great at? This episode is for you. Erica and Zoë unpack the hidden gems in your skillset — the things you do so naturally you barely notice them — and help you shine a light on how they can power your next career move.

Whether you’re looking for your next role, aiming for a promotion, or mentoring others, understanding your transferable skills is a game-changer. Expect real stories, practical tips, and a fresh perspective on how your everyday strengths can take you further than you think.

It’s easy to undervalue the things that come naturally — especially when they don’t come with a fancy title or certificate. But those everyday strengths you’ve developed over time? They’re your transferable skills — and they matter more than ever in today’s fast-moving world of work.

In this episode, Erica and Zoë explore why transferable skills are so powerful, and how to uncover the ones you might be taking for granted. From planning a family holiday to leading a team project, the skills you build across all areas of life often hold the key to your career development.

You’ll hear stories from past guests who’ve made bold career moves — from teaching to steampunk rapping, corporate life to château-renovating — all made possible by a strong sense of the skills they could take with them.

They also dive into practical frameworks (like the STAR method) to help you tell better stories about your strengths, and share advice for managers and coaches to help others do the same.

Whether you’re starting fresh, stuck in a rut, or mentoring a team — this is your permission to own what you’re brilliant at.
