Latest Episode

Welcome to Talent Acquired, a Chris Edward Consulting podcast hosted by Chris Nakiso, where we bring you the stories, strategies, and viewpoints of candidates, hiring managers, and recruiters.

Since 2020, businesses were forced to migrate to fully remote ways of operating, selling, and connecting with collaborators and customers, so it is crucial for modern day sales leaders to embrace this new model of doing business. In this episode of Talent Acquired, Chris chats with Scott Peterson, Chief Revenue Officer at Mitel, to talk about leadership and the roles of emotional intelligence, effective communication, and empathy for others when it comes down to getting things done. Tune in to learn more about the skills you need to push your team and your brand to the next level.
