The Talent Grow Show: Grow Your Leadership and Communication Skills

Can poetry enhance your leadership skills? Poetry is an art form that can be both beautiful and obscure. But if we approach it in a purposeful way, it can also be a powerful tool to improve our communication skills, critical thinking and even our leadership skills. On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, media producer and editor-in-chief of Troubadour Magazine Kirk Barbera discusses how poetry can enrich your mind and help you articulate your vision as a leader. He reads us a compelling poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called "A Psalm of Life," and guides us step-by-step through unpacking the meaning behind it. You'll discover the link between poetry and leadership success, and how you can train your mind to look at poetry in a new, purposeful way. Listen and don't forget to share this episode with others!

Workshops, training classes, and university classes are rarely the only way to develop skills. In fact, they're often not the best way to develop certain skills. Halelly wrote about this in her book, Employee Development on a Shoestring. There are so many ways that you can develop skills and knowledge – including leadership skills -- outside of the classroom and in a way that doesn't interfere with your current role or take up a lot of time or money. In this short solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, Halelly shares three specific examples of non-training, inexpensive ways to develop your leadership skills – and those of the leaders you lead, of course – to help you become a better leader and/or get recognized as a leader if you're not there yet. Leadership development is not out of reach! Take a listen and share with others.
