In this episode of the NSHSS Scholars Connect Podcast, we sit down with Sheronda Dorsey, a retired CIA C-suite executive, leadership coach, and former Associate Director of Talent, to explore how today’s students can build the skills and mindset needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
With more than 35 years of experience leading organizational transformation, developing talent at scale, and coaching individuals through complex career moments, Sheronda shares a grounded, practical perspective on the future of work.
She breaks down what students actually need to thrive, from adaptability and emotional intelligence to strategic self-awareness, resilience, and collaboration. Whether you’re applying to college, preparing for internships, entering the job market, or unsure where to start, this conversation offers clear next steps to help you stand out and stay future-ready.
