For this week’s Inspirational Leadership Podcast I spoke with Rachel Druckenmiller who’s on a mission to humanize the workplace by igniting resilience, connection, engagement and compassion in organizations, leaders and teams. Recognized by Forbes as a Next1000 honoree in 2021, the #1 Health Promotion Professional in the U.S. by the Wellness Council of America in 2015, a 40 Under 40 Game Changer in 2019, and one of The Daily Record’s Leading Women of 2020, Rachel is a national thought leader in the field of employee engagement and wellbeing. 

In this episode we discuss why you’re blind to your own dysfunction, unapologetically asking for what you need, illuminating toxic leadership behaviors and working through the pain and discomfort that comes with transformation.
