Love seeing the human side of these incredible leaders. They each have such valuable and unique perspectives!
I love hearing these personal stories from leaders, reminds us that we are all human, we all started somewhere and we are all in healthcare to make a difference.
It’s hard to find leadership podcasts that are authentic and show the genuine side of really high-performing leaders. I love this approach, the guests’ willingness to be vulnerable and the inspiring questions that resonate with anyone in any profession - not just healthcare.
An insider’s view of healthcare, storytelling and life in healthcare communications. Highly, highly recommend!
One of my favorite podcasts! It’s healthcare focused but relevant for all industries.
