Hello everybody, and welcome back to another guest series on The Defiant Business Podcast. I'm your host Ruthie Bowles, and I am so excited to welcome Dr. Gail Hayes to the show today. She's an internationally-recognized communicator who ignites the atmosphere with contagious enthusiasm and a passion for purpose.

We just had a 30-minute conversation before I started the recording; that's how much enthusiasm she brings around with her. She's been called a conduit and a bridge between the races, genders, generations, and political parties. She paints pictures with words to promote understanding between communities. Thank you for joining me today Dr. Gail.

Welcome back to The Defiant Business Podcast. I am here with Stephanie Bonte-Lebair, found of The Empowered Voice. Today, we’re going to talk about the future of artificial intelligence in sales.

It's Future Friday. We always discuss a future-focused topic on Fridays, no matter who I'm talking to. And Stephanie really brought it with this recommendation of topics. So thank you so much, Stephanie. We talked about wearables and how they could help coaching businesses a couple of seasons ago. We always go for something interesting to help people go out into the weekend, and you really picked a great one.

Welcome back to another episode of The Defiant Business Podcast! I have Stephanie Bonte-Lebair with me today. Yesterday, we got to know her a bit. We learned about her business The Empowered Voice, and her journey from being a classically-trained singer to coaching business owners and sales teams on their communications.

Speaking of communications, we're going to talk about a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: authenticity in your communications. Most importantly, if authentic communication isn't about you, then who is it about? Stephanie, thank you so much for being here with me again!

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of The Defiant Business Podcast. I'm your host Ruthie Bowles, and I'm really excited to introduce my next guest, Stephanie Bonte-Lebair.

I'm just so excited about this episode because we're digging in a little bit into something that, you know, Rachel has devoted her passion and energy towards going into organizations and speaking to them about this.

We're going to talk about how you can at pretty much any level of an organization, use your voice for impact and influence. And this, again, ties directly to the name of Rachel's company, the un-muted life, and the potential that exists when we hit the unmute button.

Show notes coming soon

We're back on episode #3 with Rachel Druckenmiller, the founder of UNMUTED! Rachel, thank you so much for being here with me. Today, Rachel and I discuss the paradigm shift that needs to happen in business leadership. We need to go from Command and Control to Connect and Care!

Rachel:  This has been fun! I love talking about things, but I'm not used to talking about them in quite the same way. So these have been really fun conversations.

Ruthie: Yes, absolutely. And I think if you’re a leader, want to be a better leader, or are an aspiring leader, today's episode is definitely the episode for you. This is definitely the episode for leaders who are paying attention to what's been going on right now, especially if you're stuck somewhere between the old methods and frameworks of leadership, and whatever’s next.

I am here with Rachel Druckenmiller, the founder and CEO of UNMUTED. I think today’s topic is a more obvious one, especially with the superficial support that people are getting as they've moved to remote work. But we are going to talk about prescriptive wellness today and how we can dig deeper.

I am thrilled to introduce my next guest, Rachel Druckenmiller, the founder of UNMUTED. Rachel's been recognized as the #1 health promotion professional in the US, and a 40 Under 40 game changer. Rachel is a national thought leader in the field of wellbeing and employee engagement.
