In this episode of 'Outside the Mainstream,' we dive into the inspiring journey of Natalie LeGrand, co-founder and CEO of Galanthus International. Natalie shares her life's story from living with her grandmother in Honduras, overcoming adversity due to sickle cell disease, ADHD, and partial deafness and blindness, to becoming a global leadership coach and advocate. We talk about the importance of empathy, innovative education, and challenging the status quo. Natalie's approach to global leadership coaching is rooted in her inspirational story of fighting rejection to make a meaningful impact. And her approach of leading with empathy to foster change and inclusivity in education and leadership development is a testament to her resilience and vision.
