In mining, technical skill might get you the job — but soft skills are what help you keep growing in it.

In Part 2 of this series, I dig even deeper into the human side of mining — the traits that separate good workers from great teammates and leaders.

This episode covers:🎯 Adaptability — how to stay steady when the plan, the shift, or the team changes unexpectedly💡 Problem-solving — why creative thinking isn’t just for engineers, and how it can make or break a project🤝 Conflict resolution — the real stories of what happens when tensions rise, and how to handle them with confidence and respect

I’ll talk about the quiet leaders who turn chaos into calm, the crews who’ve learned to think on their feet, and the lessons that come from the hard days when communication breaks down.

This one is for anyone who has ever had to pivot mid-shift, navigate a tough conversation, or find a better way to work together.
