Employees who have a best friend at work are seven times more engaged than those who don’t. What’s behind this staggering statistic? And why are workplace friendships still considered objectionable by many? On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, Halelly chats with author, keynote speaker and leading expert on friendship Shasta Nelson about how to cultivate a healthy approach to friendships in the workplace and reevaluate harmful taboos on the topic. According to Shasta, the workplace, by default, provides a fertile ground to grow meaningful connections, and leaders should be encouraging this potential in our teams. Learn healthy relationship skills to benefit your entire workplace, discover the three requirements at the foundation of every relationship, and find out what you can do as a leader to help spark positive friendships in your workplace and maximize engagement seven-fold. Plus, get Shasta’s advice for staying connected in today’s ‘epidemic of loneliness’ brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic!

This is a fast-moving conversation with a funny, clever, and wise man so hold on to your hat! I just had to rebroadcast my episode with guest and one of my favorite mentors, Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael is an award-winning and sought-after coach, author, and speaker. We talked about his best-selling book, The Coaching Habit. Michael wants us leaders to learn to stay a little more curious a little longer and rush to ideas and advice a little more slowly, which will ultimately let us be more effective and work less hard. He teaches us three of the seven coaching questions from his book that will help you have better coach-like conversations that take 10 minutes or less. We discuss the neuroscience of engagement, ways to help people get more ‘Ahas’ to cement their insights and learning, and the kind of question we should all try to avoid. I loved his concept of the Advice Monster (which is the topic of the latest bestselling book which Michael published after this episode first aired, titled The Advice Trap). Finally, as in every episode of The TalentGrow Show, Michael shares a highly actionable piece of advice to help you upgrade your leadership skills right away – this one in answer to a listener’s question. Listen and please share with others!

Receiving feedback is an important leadership skill that we can all develop, and it’s not just up to managers to give it – it’s something we all can and should do more of (and ask for!) and improve our skills in doing so. In this rebroadcast episode of the TalentGrow show with Halelly Azulay, Sheila Heen, CEO of Triad Consulting and best-selling author of Thanks for the Feedback and Difficult Conversations, shares some of her best insights on the art and science of receiving feedback. She explains what the three different kinds of feedback are (including why we need all three, but different amounts of each at different times), what the three kinds of triggered reactions we can have from feedback are, and the best way to receive vague or negative criticism. She also gives a fantastic (and highly actionable!) tip on how to ask for feedback: she warns of a common pitfall and offers a smarter way of asking that not only makes the other person more comfortable but helps to ensure that the ensuing feedback will be relevant and useful. This is an excellent episode for improving your communications skills as well as your inner-processing and emotional clarity. Listen and please share with others!

Do you invite people to be open with you, and to push back on your thoughts and ideas? And when you have “fierce” conversations, do you deepen your connection or push people away as a result? This week on the TalentGrow Show, we’re rebroadcasting Halelly’s conversation with Susan Scott, best-selling author and leadership development architect, to explain what fierce conversations are and why we NEED to have more of them. Susan shares a common obstacle we all face when having these types of conversations – both at work in our personal lives – and how to overcome it. She also talks about how to be open and more transparent and invite this kind of openness from others (and what some of us might be doing to hinder that). Susan and Halelly explore why she thinks careful conversations are almost always failed conversations and the concept of radical transparency, which Susan advocates, and the difference between fierce leaders and other leaders. And of course, Susan shares one actionable suggestion that will help you upgrade your leadership and will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your conversations and your relationships. You should really begin doing it, today!

Trustworthiness may be the most important quality a leader can have. Interestingly, recent studies show us that there has been a dramatic decline in trust from previous generations to now. Trust in other people, in the media, and in the government, are all at all-time lows, and this inevitably feeds into the workplace, too. In this episode, trust expert, keynote speaker and author of The Book of Trust Dr. Yoram Solomon returns to The TalentGrow Show to share his new model of trust and to help leaders build their trustworthiness. You’ll discover the seven laws and six components of trust according to Yoram’s model and learn seven actionable steps you can take to build trust and be trusted. Plus, drawing from his experience as a former Israeli Defense Forces paratrooper, USAF CAP pilot, and a professor, Yoram shows us in what way trust is relative and situational, and why it’s so important to recognize this.

Connecting online can be both more or less authentic, depending on your approach. But in the 21st Century, and especially now in the times of COVID-19, we have many new opportunities to connect with more and different people in a different way than ever before because of how we can create content online. We can leverage these opportunities to share more of ourselves, to be more thoughtful about how we share about ourselves, and build amazing connections and networks. In this re-broadcast episode, I chat with Michael D. Simmons, an award-winning serial entrepreneur, best-selling author and internationally-acclaimed speaker who is a world-class connector of people and ideas who loves to research, synthesize, and share ideas about building relationships in the 21st century. We also talk about how contexts collide online, creating new challenges for managing our personal brands and calling on us to become more holistic and authentic so that we’re not trying to put up a front or share the wrong things in the wrong contexts. Michael also shares the fascinating concept of the “expert generalist” or “broker” as a massively effective way for professionals to accelerate their career success (by 65%!) and increase their own learning and the value they offer to their employers, employees, and clients. With so many people focusing on being seen as a specialist or expert, this counter-intuitive approach can be a powerful one to consider tapping into. Listen and don’t forget to share with others.

It’s not just what we say as leaders: it’s how we say it, vocally and physically. Especially now that so much of our communication has shifted to remote communication during the time of the Coronavirus outbreak. So we’re republishing a great episode to help you succeed. An expert in body language, voice, and emotion, Dr. Louise Mahler explains that the ‘missing ingredient’ in corporate leadership is something called vocal intelligence and that how we use our voice has a far greater impact on our success as leaders than we know. In this fascinating episode of The TalentGrow Show, Louise shares unique insights on vocal psychology, body-language, and non-verbal communication that any leader should study and practice. Learn how to inspire trust with your voice and identify inner blockages that manifest in your voice and posture that may hinder your ability to lead. There are seven key blockages according to Louise, who walks us through a few of them here. Plus, learn why vocal intelligence is especially critical for leaders in our evolving digital age!

It can seem like an elusive sort of charisma that is near-impossible to emulate, but it has been broken down by Susan Bates into three dimensions and fifteen aspects. On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, leadership coach, author, and speaker Greg Owen-Boger of Turpin Communication joins Halelly to discuss how leaders can leverage Bates’ framework to cultivate their own executive presence and grow their influence.

The TalentGrow Show is 5 today! Happy Anniversary to us! To celebrate this momentous achievement, I thought it would be fun to walk down memory lane and pull out some gems that are potentially hiding in the first 55 episodes that I published. While I love all my episodes and guests, and am very proud of them all, I thought these were particularly good treasures to dust off and offer up for your (re)listening pleasure. So in this solo episode of The TalentGrow Show, I recap 5 episodes from the first 55 of the TalentGrow Show, plus a bonus one – the most downloaded. They cover the topics of overwhelm, engaging communication, coaching, fierce leadership, decision making, and negotiations. Enjoy!

When something positive happens, we instinctively tend to want to share our good news with others. From a relationship-building perspective, research is plentiful when it comes to supporting others in times of distress, but there is very little out there about responding constructively to someone else’s good news. On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, psychologist and professor at UC Santa Barbara Shelly Gable, Ph.D. joins Halelly to discuss her theoretical and practical framework for nurturing our relationships and generating positive outcomes with our responses. Drawing from many years of research, Shelly explains why our responses to positive news make up such a key aspect of our relationships, why Active and Constructive Responding (ACR) is the most effective and authentic way to respond, and how leaders can leverage ACR to build better relationships at work and at home.

The “feedback sandwich” is a popular method of delivering constructive feedback. It basically means sandwiching your negative feedback inside of positive feedback to lessen the blow, and it can seem reasonable at first glance. But I’m hoping that after you listen to this episode, you’ll never use the feedback sandwich ever again. On this solo episode of The TalentGrow Show, I explain why the popular feedback sandwich method is actually harmful and ineffective in the long-run, and what approach you should be using instead when you deliver constructive feedback. So listen and, please, don’t serve up that nasty feedback sandwich anymore!

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is one of the most widely used approaches for fostering positive change in organizations and communities.

You’ll learn about the four types of conversations in the model, how to leverage tools like ‘positive framing’ and ‘the flipping technique’ to inspire curiosity and positive interest in others, and how to create conversations that are appreciative, inquisitive, and worth having.

Giving feedback can be one of the toughest tasks for leaders. Many of us are reluctant to give critical feedback, partly from fear of seeming like a jerk. The best approach, according to bestselling author and former Google executive Kim Scott, is to care personally while challenging directly. She calls this radical candor. On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, Kim joins Halelly to share how leaders can become great bosses without losing our humanity by leveraging the Radical Candor framework. You’ll learn how to feedback without falling into the common traps of obnoxious aggression, manipulative insincerity, or ruinous empathy, and why you probably need to reevaluate the way you think about praise and criticism.

Life is not easy and all of us face cross-roads where we need to make a big, scary decision. We all face the fear of making the wrong decision, but sometimes that fear can lead to inaction or playing safe. But if we use this clarifying question, we can usually move forward to choose a path of no (or least) regrets. On this solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, the third in my three-part mini-series on courage, I tell two short stories: One, about a young woman’s career choice. And the other, about a decision that my spouse, David, and I faced with our skater son Guy’s schooling. And I describe how asking a magic question helped create clarity and courage for forward momentum and a life of no regrets. Take a listen, weigh in with your own opinion, and share with others could use this suggestion!

What better way to ring in the new year (and decade!) then to discover your strengths and use them to create meaningful work and a fulfilling life. I wanted this conversation to go live on the last day of 2019 because it is more practical and action-oriented than my usual episodes. There’s a lot of excitement – and hype! – around 2020 and many of us are planning our year and even thinking more long term, so my guest, Hallely Azulay, offers some valuable insight and tools. Halelly and I talk about the formula for determining your strengths and how those strengths should guide you more than an elusive search for your “passion,” and how to be more positive about networking. Hallely busts the myth that women, especially those in midlife, aren’t strong – physically, emotionally, and psychologically. She shares how a number of childhood moves made her determined and what she’s most excited about now. Halelly Azulay is CEO & leadership development strategist at TalentGrow LLC. An expert in leadership, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and authentic networking, she develops leaders that people *want* to follow. She is the author of two books, Employee Development on a Shoestring and Strength to Strength. Halelly 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. You can find the show notes, and how to connect with Halelly, here: https://www.fortiesstories.com/episodes/celebrate-and-share-your-strengths-halelly-azulay-49 I’ll share my other 4 top strengths in the comments section on this episode, and invite you to do the same. Were there any surprises? I’d also love to know if you generally pick a word of the year? It’s not something that I’ve ever done before, so I’m looking to all of you to see if this is something you find helpful. I’ve narrowed in on one, but I can find myself getting a bit twitchy narrowing it to just one. Let me know what you’ve picked or if you are word-curious and we can figure it out together. I would be remiss if I ended the year without letting you know how truly grateful I am that you have tuned in and supported me and the show – since I first hit publish in March. Thank you to everyone who has rated or reviewed the show – I know you get so many requests to review podcasts, books, small businesses, and everything else. I read every review and love hearing from you! I’d love to know how I can support you on your journey. You can find me on all the social media platforms or shoot me an email. I look forward to sharing more stories with you as we navigate midlife together -  and hope that 2020 is a year for discovery and growth. Happy New Year!    

Gratitude is a feeling that is key to happiness and it is most definitely not something to save for one day (or week) per year, like Thanksgiving. We really must raise our experience of gratitude all year round. Don’t fret, we’re here to help! On this solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, Halelly will give you a couple of science-backed reasons why gratitude is good for you. Then, we’ll look at how you can get goodness out of gratitude in different ways. She’ll help you (re-)discover that gratitude can be experienced and expressed in every context of your life. And then, Halelly will share five actionable gratitude-enhancing practices you begin to implement right away. Take a listen, weigh in with your own opinion, and share with others!

Today we’re chatting with Halelly Azulay, who is a consultant, facilitator, leadership development strategist, author, and speaker at international conferences and corporate meetings. In 2006, Halelly founded TalentGrow LLC, a consulting company focused on developing leaders and teams, especially for enterprises experiencing explosive growth or expansion that want a more proactive, strategic approach to leadership development. An expert in leadership, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and authentic networking with more than 20 years of experience, Halelly develops leaders that people *want* to follow. She is the author of two books, Employee Development on a Shoestring and Strength to Strength: How Working from Your Strengths Can Help You Lead a More Fulfilling Life. She offers actionable leadership insights and advice on her blog and her leadership podcast, the TalentGrow Show. Halelly and I connected through one of our past podcast guests, Kate Swoboda. I was excited to hear Halelly’s perspective on how we can start to integrate some of these skills we’re working on at home, like personal development and emotional intelligence, in the workplace. I’ve mentioned this on a few different episodes at this point, but I really think overcoming burnout and starting to enjoy our lives as working parents is something we need to attack from two different angles: first, within ourselves as individuals. But I also think we really need to start making big changes in companies also, in order to see any sort of widespread shift in our society. That’s the sort of work Halelly is doing, so I wanted to dive deeper with her here to learn more about how we can integrate more emotional intelligence not only at home, but at work too.

As a leader, understanding the mechanisms and motivations that underlie human behavior is a critical advantage. Businesswoman, author, and serial entrepreneur Christine Comaford joins Halelly on this episode of The TalentGrow Show to share what every leader needs to know about neuroscience to become more compelling and effective. She describes the three different parts of your brain and how they influence human behavior, what sends your brain into either a ‘smart state’ or a ‘critter state,’ and how you can leverage an upgraded understanding of neuroscience to optimize goal-setting, accountability, and productivity in yourself, your team, and your organization.

In today’s information-sharing age, aspiring leaders are inundated with leadership advice from countless sources. There are upwards of 60,000 books on Amazon written about leadership, and millions of articles on Google.

Advisor, consultant and co-author of the Harvard Business Review Leader’s Handbook Ron Ashkenas joins Halelly on this episode of The TalentGrow Show to share what he believes are the six fundamental skills every leader should practice to bring themselves up to the next level. Tune in to discover why these six leadership skills are so crucial, how to implement them regardless of where you’re at in your leadership journey, and how you can boost your own self-development by taking initiatives such as creating your own stretch assignments. Plus, Ron offers a great leadership tip for speeding up development in startup organizations! Listen and share with others in your network.
