Today's guest: Rachelle Archer, MA, is an expressive arts practitioner, organizational consultant, and the founder of Artful Leadership. She helps leaders impact lives sustainably by putting wellness first so they can lead with a full tank and create a culture that supports both staff and the community they serve. Rachelle has over 25 years' experience at the intersection of arts, education, and healing. She serves marginalized youth and the adults who support them and helps organizations thrive by fostering the individual, interpersonal, and institutional well-being that empowers them to live out their mission and flourish. She believes that everyone can be a leader, humans thrive in community, and the well-being of that community starts with us doing our inner work first.
