Can love be a leadership strategy? Dr. Julie Kennedy Oehlert thinks so, and she’s got the experience to prove it.
In this soul-stirring episode of Step Wise, Julie joins Dr. Foster Mobley to explore what it really takes to lead with courage, empathy, and purpose in a system as complex and high-stakes as healthcare. Drawing on her background as an ER nurse, healthcare executive, brand officer, and author, Julie shares the human-centered practices that are reshaping workplace culture, from psychological safety to reverse mentoring and stakeholder engagement.
Together, they dig into:
– The “new covenant” between leaders and teams
– Why disruption must be rooted in care, not control
– How love, listening, and lived values drive high performance
– Practical ideas for integrating purpose into daily leadership
– Why experience design matters (yes, even in hospitals)
Julie’s message is clear: When we honor humanity, innovation follows. This is a must-listen for leaders across every industry who want to make meaningful change without losing their heart in the process.
