Ed – Sorry for my tardy response! I’m thrilled you liked this post. It was inspired by a conversation with a client. Many job seekers face obstacles to landing new opportunities because they haven’t exactly had the “work” experience sought. I think re-framing the question can impress the interviewer and inspire the interviewee to feel more confident! Thanks so much!

Miriam, this is absolutely excellent and so topical, as I too am seeing leadership skills appear on many postings–a lot more than in the past.

And as a fan of the value of volunteering, I’m so glad you mentioned it as a venue in which candidates can demonstrate leadership skills. The truth is that in many volunteer organizations, they are starved for volunteers who want to be leaders. There is a saying in volunteer organizations: 90% of the work is done by 10% of the people. Candidates can improve their odds by being part of that 10%.
