UNMUTED:

Self-Leadership & Workplace Performance Expert

Rachel Druckenmiller doesn’t just motivate; she activates. She sparks the clarity and confidence that help people come alive at work—energized, engaged, and bringing the best of who they are to what they do every day.

When people mute themselves at work, they hold back their confidence, creativity, and contribution —and everyone misses out.

If you want an UNMUTED organization where people feel alive, engaged, and contributing at their highest level, your people need more than a moment of motivation.

They need experiences that spark reflection, fuel confidence, and help them see their strengths and brilliance more clearly. They need space to celebrate what’s working, reimagine what’s possible, and get clear on the “now what” that turns inspiration into action.

That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re planning a conference, launching a new initiative, or developing your leaders and teams, I help people translate clarity into confidence, confidence into conviction, and conviction into meaningful contribution that drives performance. My keynotes and experiences don’t just motivate; they activate. They ignite clarity, confidence, and conviction—the kind of inner fire that compels people to take action as soon as they leave the room.

Why does this matter?

According to Gallup:

  • Only 1 in 5 employees are satisfied with their workplace

  • Just 1 in 3 feel they have opportunities to learn and grow

  • Nearly 6 in 10 are psychologically disengaged

  • And over half are actively job hunting

But here’s the opportunity: Teams with engaged employees see 23% higher profit. True engagement happens when people have clarity about who they are, the confidence to contribute, and the conviction to act. That’s when people come alive and organizations thrive.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Her keynote eliminated the "rah! rah!" vibe often projected in kickoff meetings and she spoke with purpose and conviction. To say that not a single person picked up their cell phones throughout is an understatement! Her command of the audience is world-class."

    —Kandis Dwyer, Director of Membership, Sales & Engagement at Property Management Association

  • "Through a combination of storytelling, humor, and her unique brilliance, Rachel delivered not just a presentation but a captivating 'show' that resonated deeply and is still talked about in our community months later. (Boy did she set the bar high for our next event!)."

    —Jennifer Gerlock, Executive Director of SHE Week

  • “Inspiring and insightful. Rachel had me thinking about my impact and reach in ways I never had before, and gave me real, actionable steps I can take to increase my effectiveness as a leader. Also shoutout to her for being just a kind human. Sitting with her at dinner was lovely and warm, and she’s genuine and kind.”

    —Tracy Hayes, Assistant Director of Extended Learning, Carolina Friends School

  • "Rachel brought enormous positive energy to the audience that seemed to carry them through the rest of the two-day conference. Every minute of her keynote and panel discussion was a true golden nugget of wisdom and inspiration. It is rare that I see an audience so captivated. The standing ovation she received confirmed their admiration for Rachel. I could not have wished for a better opening keynote."

    —Mara Neufeld Rivera, Executive Director at SHRM Vermont State Council

I’m Rachel Druckenmiller.

For 13 years, I led national wellbeing + employee engagement initiatives in the corporate world. Today, I help organizations and leaders bring their people back to life at work by activating the clarity, confidence, and courage that drive performance, engagement, and impact.

Recognized by Smart Meetings as a Best of the Stage Speaker, Forbes as a Next1000 Honoree, and Workforce Magazine as a 40 Under 40 Game Changer, I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping thousands of professionals stop holding back and start showing up fully. Too many capable, high-potential people are burned out, checked out, or playing small; and it’s costing them and their companies.

Through energizing keynotes and interactive trainings, I help your people reconnect to their voice, activate clarity and agency, and take meaningful action, so they speak up with confidence, lead with conviction, and contribute with purpose. I create experiences that are thought-provoking, immediately actionable, and deeply human so your event doesn't just inspire, it transforms.
