What if everything you've been taught about leadership, HR, and workplace culture is wrong?

In this powerful episode of Shine a Light, Christine Miles sits down with Dr. Lauran Starr—a bold, unapologetic disruptor redefining what it means to lead people and build culture. From growing up in poverty to becoming a Chief People Officer with multiple doctorates, Lauran shares how her lived experience shaped her fearless approach to challenging broken systems—and why "people and culture" must replace traditional HR if organizations want to survive.

Together, they unpack the uncomfortable truth: most companies aren't struggling with communication—they're suffering from a lack of real listening, critical thinking, and accountability. And fixing it requires more than good intentions—it requires disruption with purpose.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why traditional HR is becoming obsolete—and what must replace it
• How conflict, when handled right, becomes a catalyst for growth
• The difference between performative change and real transformation in culture and leadership

This conversation will challenge how you think, lead, and listen—and invite you to step into a more intentional, impactful way of showing up.

Because real change doesn't come from staying comfortable. It comes from shining a light on what others avoid.
