For busy career professionals, balancing work, family and other commitments is a constant juggling act. If you’ve been able to master this mix of competing priorities, good for you! You clearly know what it takes to keep all the plates spinning while maintaining a harmonious homelife and a successful career. But with your busy schedule how do you continually advance your career and leadership skills without adding one more thing to your to-do list?

That’s where podcasts come in. Like a customizable playlist for professional growth, podcasts offer a convenient way to gain knowledge, build skills and stay relevant in our fast-paced global society. Listen during your commute, during a run, or anytime you have the time. Podcasts can help you sharpen a general skill set, such as leadership capabilities (check out Coaching for Leaders) or they can help you advance career-specific knowledge, such as social media marketing (see the Social Media Marketing podcast). And the best part is, it won’t take extra time out of your day.
