I’m not sure about you, but in my part of the country, people are starting to head back to school. 📚✏️

I know this is a process that builds across the country until about Labor Day. After that, kids will be fully back in school. College students will undergo orientation. And even in the workplace, interns and new hires will continue to shine their light on the doorsteps of many companies.

There’s a lot of excitement in the air this time of year, a fresh start, a new season, and new opportunities.

But there’s also a quiet gap.

While schools and universities focus on academics, and employers onboard with systems and policies, there’s often no real plan to teach the soft skills and workplace habits that actually shape someone’s success.

We hand out laptops. We assign mentors. We review handbooks.

But we don’t always stop to ask: 👉 “Does this person know how to navigate team dynamics?” 👉 “Do they understand how to build trust at work?” 👉 “Have they ever been taught how to advocate for themselves professionally?”

For many young professionals, the answer is no. And it’s not because they don’t want to learn—it’s because no one has taught them.
