    Podcast #198 - The Joy of Nurturing Talent

    Join Art of Grateful Leadership Podcast host Judith W. Umlas as she discusses the joy and feeling of accomplishment we experience as leaders when we nurture and help develop great talent. Her “living example” is Ken Terry, IIL’s Director of Client Services, who she and others at IIL (including CEO E. LaVerne Johnson)  knew had a fantastic voice for promos, ads and video introductions. But how to get him started was the issue. So experience Ken’s  process and his progress, once Judy is appointed Ken’s Coach. Then be a “witness” to his big breakthrough – and his break into official voiceover talent ranks!

    Podcast #196 The Art of Grateful Leadership

    Host Judy Umlas shares her "guilt" for not having kept up the stream of podcasts she had originally intended to produce, due to...her perfectionism! So Judy commits to not letting perfection be "the enemy of the good" So she does a bit of imperfect but relevant rambling. She goes from celebrating her mother belatedly for Mother's Day, along with her mother's French pen pal with whom she corresponded for over 70 years. She talks about the frustration she feels at "tip jars" which don't encourage the expression of appreciation from recipients. She closes with a shout out to Ed Hoffman, former Chief Knowledge Officer of NASA and Center for Grateful Leadership April webinar presenter.
