Why Being Real Gets You Heard - Leslie Mizerak
Brief summary of show:
This episode features Leslie Mizerak. She is in Human Resources by trade but she's been in front of crowds of HR people to speak to declare that everyone in business today is in sales. She believes everyone has a responsibility to promote their organization and everyone is an ambassador for the business. Especially in Talent Acquisition.
We had a great conversation to unpack her style of how she get's CEO's to listen to her in coaching and how she's influenced a movement with Disrupt HR Orlando. Her ability to listen, find commonality, and build community is why people are so drawn to Leslie.
