Seventy percent of employed people can't articulate their own skills, according to a U.S. study of over 600 participants. Melissa has seen this problem across eight years of career work, where it blocks both personal clarity and the ability to show value to employers.
What's interesting in your notes, Melissa, was I noticed that you wrote down that some of your research shows that 70% of the people who are working right now can't articulate their skills. How is that possible?
Yeah, this is an interesting one. We ran a study in the U.S. We had over 600 people participate in it. And you're right. The number one headline was that 70% of people find it very hard to articulate what they're good at. And this plays out in the work that I've been doing with individuals over the last 8 years. And they can't articulate their skill and they can't articulate the value that that offers businesses.
