They explore how debate strengthens interviewing, pitching, leadership presence, and critical thinking, skills increasingly essential in an AI-heavy job market.
The conversation also dives into networking, access, the future of workforce development, and why mastering communication is the ultimate career accelerator.
If you believe the next generation of talent needs more than just technical know-how, this episode will hit home.
