Ep185 Angel Beets - A New Wave of Skills Top Companies Are Looking For

Are you a leader struggling to connect with your team? Maybe you're great with numbers but lack the "soft skills" to truly inspire.  

In this candid chat, leadership coach Mike O'Neill sits down with Angel Beets, CEO of recruiting powerhouse Gilman Partners. Despite leading a firm that places top execs, Angel's not your typical headhunter.

Her secret? Understanding that today's leaders must be masters of communication and emotional intelligence. Gone are the days of leaders barking orders from an office.

Angel shares why the most in-demand execs aren't just financial whizzes, but pros at building trust, collaborating, and rolling up their sleeves. Her firm's unique approach to vetting candidates goes beyond resumes to find the humans with true leadership presence.

But that's just the start. Angel also lifts the curtain on GP Elevate, her firm's innovative leadership program. Over several months, high-potential managers learn to tackle strategy, talent development, and more - skills often missing from traditional MBAs. 

The goal? Creating well-rounded leaders prepared to steer organizations with vision and emotional intelligence.

Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or heading your own company, you'll learn the people skills that motivate teams to follow your vision - not just your title.

Prepare to be inspired by Angel's insights on:

• The #1 trait modern companies want in new leaders (it's not what you think)
• How to build trust and have "crucial conversations" without losing your cool
• The smart way to identify and improve your own leadership blind spots
• Secrets for creating real camaraderie among high-level peers
• Why Marketing and HR leaders might make great CEOs (despite what you've heard)

Throughout, host Mike masterfully guides the conversation, challenging Angel to dig deeper on her innovative approaches. His coaching perspective adds a powerful layer, helping extract maximum value for listeners.

Whether you manage a team of 5 or 500, the path to true leadership starts here. Stop telling people what to do and learn to inspire them.
