Show Notes:

In today’s episode, I interview Halelly Azulay. Halelly is the CEO & leadership development strategist at TalentGrow LLC. She’s an expert in leadership, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and authentic networking, Halelly develops leaders that people *want* to follow. 

She is the author of two books, Employee Development on a Shoestring and Strength to Strength. She offers actionable leadership insights and advice as a sought-after speaker and workshop leader as well as on her blog and her leadership podcast, the TalentGrow Show.

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • The behaviors leaders need to demonstrate to be engaging & trustworthy

  • How to create & articulate a vision people want to follow

  • And how to seek out leadership opportunities to build your skills inside, or outside, of your job

We’ve probably all had experiences with great leaders, and also with poor leaders--so we know how big of a difference leadership can make in our lives! 

What I love about Halelly’s work is that it underscores the importance of integrity, authenticity and vulnerability are to the leadership journey. Unfortunately, these aren’t the characteristics or behaviors that come to mind most often when we think of bosses or corporate leaders. 

I believe that it’s possible to change our expectations of what leaders look and act like. But part of that process is by stepping up to lead in the way we would want to be led ourselves. 

I’m grateful to have Halelly on the show to discuss some of the practical ways we can start doing this today! 

And after our interview, I have a fun new segment for you where I’ll be answering a listener’s question!

This week’s question is, “What do I do if I got on my boss’s bad side by trying to draw boundaries and be transparent with them, but it backfired?”

Let me know what you think about the show’s new format!
