834 | The Journey of Learning Radical Self-Acceptance with Laura Gallaher

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Laura Gallaher. Dr. Gallaher is a professional speaker, leadership development expert, organizational psychologist, and USA Today's best-selling author who inspires driven self-starters to transform their relationships with themselves and accomplish more than ever. She combines insights on radical self-acceptance with humour to create a unique connection with her audience. Despite being a national best-selling author, Dr. Laura stands out from the typical "academic" personality of her PhD peers. Her notable achievements include being hired by NASA to reshape organizational culture after the Columbia accident, leading significant changes in performance management at Disney, and inspiring Yahoo’s global teams to pursue transformation from within.
