Leading Change Without Losing People with Summer Miller

From massive corporate transformations to her own journey of building empathy muscle, Summer brings the receipts on what it really takes to guide people through disruption.

They unpack why most change efforts fall flat and how to reframe change as growth by focusing on connection, curiosity, and communication.

Whether you're leading a company, a team, or just trying to navigate your own next chapter, this episode is full of practical gems you'll actually use.
