What if the way we treat each other inside healthcare organizations directly determined the quality of care patients receive? In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, Julie Kennedy Oehlert—author, nurse, and Chief Experience and Brand Officer at ECU Health—shares how she’s using Riane Eisler’s cultural transformation theory to move from domination-based hierarchies toward “power with” relationships. From reducing workplace violence and building emotional safety to embedding empathy and hospitality into every patient interaction, Julie reveals how partnership practices are improving staff engagement, patient outcomes, and community trust. She also discusses her book System Innovation, offering a blueprint for leading with love and human caring in any complex system.
