Developing Leaders Podcast
Real Conversations. Practical Solutions. Leadership That Actually Sticks.
with Judy Cirullo & Karen Elliott
Every episode of the Developing Leaders Podcast brings two experienced practitioners into the same conversation — because the best leadership insights don’t come from theory. They come from people who have lived the challenges you’re facing and found what actually works.
I co-host this show with Karen Elliott. Between us, we bring decades of hands-on experience building teams, navigating difficult conversations, and developing leaders at every level of an organization.
Each episode addresses a specific challenge leaders face — and offers real, applicable solutions you can put to work immediately.
Who is This For
If you are a business owner, practice owner, or organizational leader who is tired of generic leadership content that sounds good but changes nothing — this podcast was built for you.
The Developing Leaders Podcast is your go-to resource for building the leadership skills that free you from daily chaos and allow your team — and your business — to thrive without you carrying the whole load.
Each week, Judy and Karen bring decades of experience as clinicians, business owners, and fractional coaches to the mic, sharing:
- Real stories from owners who’ve transformed how they lead
- Actionable strategies to delegate confidently and set clear expectations
- Proven tools to help you lead with purpose and create more time, freedom, and impact
