Level Up Your Leadership! Level Up Your Life with Dr. Lepora!

Hey friend, Lepora here.In this episode, I want to have a heart-to-heart with you about something that's easy to overlook in the busyness of life: the subtle signs that you may be drifting away from God.Let's be real—your relationship with God isn't stagnant. It's either growing stronger or slowly slipping, sometimes without you even realizing it. Just like any relationship, it requires intentionality, presence, and care. If you've ever felt like you're going through the motions in your faith, this episode is for you.We're diving into 5 honest, relatable signs that you may be drifting from God. I'll share personal moments and reflections that will help you pause and reflect on where your heart really is—and what you can do about it. Here's a sneak peek:

Hi there,Lepora here from Nextgen People.Let's get right to the point — if you're a CEO, CHRO, or senior HR leader and your talent strategy is still driven by manual processes, you're falling behind in ways that may already be costing you more than you realize.AI in talent management is no longer futuristic or experimental. It's essential. Delaying its integration is not just a missed opportunity — it's a strategic liability.Here are 5 reasons why:1. Manual HR Processes Are Slowing You DownManual spreadsheets and static reports might feel familiar, but they're costing you speed, accuracy, and insight. Companies using AI for talent decisions are making those decisions up to 50x faster. That means faster hiring, smarter development plans, and more strategic workforce moves — all powered by real-time data. If you're still managing talent like it's 2015, you're playing catch-up in a game that's already evolved.2. Talent Reviews Can't Be Annual AnymoreStill relying on a once-a-year 9-box review or similar static tool? That model is outdated. It provides a snapshot — AI gives you a continuous feed. With AI-driven insights, you can keep your succession plans, performance ratings, and development pipelines current and dynamic. You get agility, not just a report that gathers dust.3. Promotions Without AI Are Promotions With BiasAI has its flaws — but so do we. Human bias is still one of the biggest barriers to equitable advancement. Without AI to analyze talent data at scale, unconscious bias often determines who gets promoted. AI can help uncover hidden talent, challenge assumptions, and drive more inclusive, data-backed decisions that elevate your best people — not just the most visible ones.4. Your Competitors Are Building Smarter Teams Every DayThis one's simple: while you wait, your competitors are teaching their systems to learn and improve. They're collecting workforce data, refining algorithms, and making smarter decisions every week. By the time you start, they'll be years — not just months — ahead in talent intelligence. The gap is widening fast.5. “Wait and See” = Falling BehindIt may feel safe to observe from the sidelines. It's not. It's risky. The organizations that are leading the future of work aren't waiting — they're acting. Every month you delay AI adoption, you're missing out on insights that could make your workforce more productive, more agile, and more aligned with your business goals.Bottom Line: AI Is Not Optional AnymoreIf AI isn't embedded in your talent processes yet, you're not just missing out on efficiency — you're losing ground. In recruitment. In retention. In leadership development. And ultimately, in your ability to compete.The future of talent is smart, fast, fair, and deeply data-informed.Is yours?Let's reimagine what's possible — together.— LeporaNextgen PeopleSupport the show

Love or Need? The difference will change your life!  Do you love them, or do you just need them? Love is a choice, freely given, while need comes from fear or dependency.

Understanding this can help you build healthier, stronger relationships.  Reflect on your relationships—are they based on love or need? Comment below with your thoughts! ❤️

The worst assumption you can make? It's costing you more than you think!   Many people assume that just because they *show up*, success will follow. But the truth is, showing up is only half the battle—*strategic action* is what separates winners from the rest.  Instead of assuming opportunities will come to you, take control. Network intentionally, refine your skills, and execute with purpose. That's how you *create* success, not just wait for it.  Drop a
