In this Midweek Momentum, Angie Callen challenges one of the most outdated conversations in modern work: hard skills vs. soft skills.

As AI continues to reshape roles and industries, the real differentiator isn't becoming more technical — it's becoming more human. Angie unpacks why skills like judgment, discernment, empathy, curiosity, and communication aren't "soft" at all — they're the hardest to replace and the most valuable in the future of work.

This episode is a reminder that being an AI-enabled human on purpose means pairing intelligence with intention — and leaning into the human skills that no machine can replicate.

• Why "soft skills" is a misleading label

• The difference between being displaced vs. replaced by AI

• Human skills AI can't replicate: judgment, discernment, empathy, context

• Why EQ is becoming more valuable than IQ

• How to avoid over-indexing on tools and under-investing in humanity

• Reflection prompts to help you intentionally develop your human edge

How do you choose whether you're spending time or investing it? In this episode of No More Mondays, Angie Callen sits down with Elizabeth Eiss, founder of Results Resourcing, to explore how solopreneurs and small business leaders can scale their work intelligently by valuing time and leveraging fractional talent.

Elizabeth's journey from corporate executive to startup leader to creating a human-first freelance platform sheds light on the evolving future of work — one where delegation isn't a dirty word but rather an art grounded in process and purpose.

In this episode, we explore:
- The critical difference between spending and investing time–and why that mindset shift matters
- How the common entrepreneur trap of "doing it all" can actually cost you
- Practical approaches to delegation, including overcoming fear and giving autonomy
- The "delegation engine" concept: starting with process, then tools, then people
- Why smart use of AI is about collaboration, not replacement
- The rise of fractional, gig, and hybrid talent models shaping work's future
- How to identify when your time use is misaligned and hurting your growth
- The importance of grounding work in purpose for sustained relevance

Elizabeth emphasizes that tools and technology are aids, but humans still hold the keys to meaning and impact. In redefining success on your own terms, investing your time wisely, and fostering intentional delegation create space for growth and fulfillment.

By the third week of January, something predictable happens when it comes to New Year's resolutions: either the wheels come off or the credit card comes out!

In this Midweek Momentum, Angie Callen breaks down why most resolutions fail (often by January 9), why rigid, borrowed goals set us up for frustration, and what actually creates sustainable commitment instead.

Using real-life examples — from the infamous "75 Hard" challenge to fitness, work, and life design — Angie reframes failure as feedback and invites you to rethink goals through the lens of values, purpose, and flexibility.

If you're questioning a resolution, feeling behind, or wondering whether your goals actually fit you, this episode is your permission slip to pause, recalibrate, and move forward with intention.

Midweek Momentum is your short, human-first reset — designed to help you build a career and life by design, not default, in the future of work.
