Episode 29: Erika Hill on Positioning Self and Closing the Generational Gap

Confidence doesn’t show up on command; it grows after courage. That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with Erica Hill, the creator of Positioning Self—a coaching framework that turns soft skills into daily, practiced habits for interns, first-year hires, and emerging leaders. We dig into a two-sided model that pairs early-career professionals with mentors or supervisors who actively make space to practice, so growth isn’t left to chance or squeezed into yet another classroom. Erica breaks down why “questionable” curiosity is a superpower when it’s grounded in self-checks, research, and safe, specific prompts that invite dialogue rather than trigger defense. We unpack how to transform questions into collaboration, move from fear to action, and build a “confidence bank” you can draw on when the stakes rise. You’ll hear how borrowing others’ belief can bridge the gap as you develop your own, and why courage—tiny, repeatable acts of it—is the real front door to confidence. We also explore “sociable” networking that starts with the people who already know your work, then expands through warm introductions, volunteering, and one-on-ones that actually fit your wiring. Instead of generic advice, Erica’s micro-lessons arrive by text and include audio, written guidance, and live challenges designed to fit real schedules and diverse learning styles. For leaders, the takeaway is clear: if you can’t make the time to mentor, at least create the space—safe sandboxes, explicit invitations to practice, and support that turns potential into performance. If building soft skills, smarter questions, and durable confidence matters to you or your team, this one’s a bookmark.
