How to Build Talent from Within

The Great Canadian Leadership Podcast

09-05-2023 • 28 mins

As a leader, what can you do to find and grow the talent that’s right there in your organization? As an individual, how do you raise your hand to be seen? Discovered? To grow?

This episode could have also been called, “We need to be able to take a chance on people”, as we explore the topic of finding and nurturing talent both as a leader and as an individual. Our guest, Nupur Khandelwal, draws on her extensive experience as a leader and as someone who has had advocates for her growth within an organization.

We discuss topics such as complacency, mentorship, progress, and perfection. Additionally, we delve into the importance of candor and commitment and explore the mechanisms one can use to be an advocate for others.

And find out Nupur’s ‘Ta-da’ moment on the significance of a CN Tower climb in reframing your thoughts.

Our Guest: Nupur Khandelwal is helping people and organizations deliver human-centric programs and was nominated for Canada’s Top 40 under 40 Awards. At the LCBO, Nupur is the Director of Talent Management, where she leads enterprise-wide initiatives. Nupur is the co-founder of SheRocks! and contributes as a Board of Director member with the HR Professional Association’s Toronto Chapter.

Nupur presents to diverse groups at conferences, seminars and workshops and is seen as a recognized learning leader in organizational development, people management, training, and development, as well as diversity and inclusion initiatives to enhance the employee experience.

As with every episode, our guest shares their ‘Failure Ta-Da’ moment, and at the end we share the three stars and the next step you can put into practice from this episode.
