UNMUTED: Unlock and unleash what’s possible in your people

Leadership & Employee Engagement Activator

Transformation Catalyst

I’m Rachel Druckenmiller,

and for nearly 20 years I’ve helped organizations and leaders unleash what’s possible in their people — accelerating their growth and impact at work and in the world.

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’m a keynote speaker who believes that we all need to know: who we are and what we do matters, we’re not alone in our experiences, and we are capable of more than we realize.

My keynote speeches and trainings activate curiosity, character, and possibility. My goal is to create experiences that are thought-provoking, growth-focused, immediately actionable, and relevant — giving your team, organization, or audience inspiration and practical insights to unmute themselves as they move forward in their lives and careers.

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

COMPANIES I’VE WORKED WITH

If you want an UNMUTED organization, your people need more than just a bump in motivation.

They need the answer to “now what?” to turn inspiration into meaningful action. They need to be invited into experiences that give them space for self-reflection, connection, and shifts in perspective. They need opportunities to celebrate what’s working and imagine new possibilities. That’s what I do.

Whether you’re putting on a conference, launching a new initiative, or wanting to elevate and engage your leaders or team, my work gives your people the tools they need to feel energized, equipped, and empowered to be better and do better — and we all need that.

Why does this matter? According to Gallup:

• American worker dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, with only 1 in 5 employees feeling satisfied with their company as a place to work

• Only 1 in 3 employees feel that they have opportunities to learn and grow at work

• Nearly 6 in 10 employees are psychologically disengaged from work

• 51% of employees are actively looking for a new job

But, at the same time, business units with engaged workers have 23% higher profit. Engagement positively impacts the bottom line.

The solution to unlocking engagement and motivation is right in front of you.

When you work with me, you’re investing in your people, their growth, and their future, empowering them to shift from passive to purposeful, from burned out to powered up, from judgment to curiosity, and from doubt and fear to courage and confidence — so that they can show up with greater energy, impact, and influence.

That matters.

UNLEASH PURPOSE, PASSION & POTENTIAL IN YOUR PEOPLE -

With me, you’re booking an INTERACTIVE, POSSIBILITY-FUELED EXPERIENCE.

My keynote speeches use a blend of real-time data gathering, participation, storytelling, and actionable insights to truly make a difference for each and every person in the room. Your people are an integral, active part of the experience, not passive bystanders. Each speech invites your team to become part of the story… and to own their own story in the process. It’s time to UNMUTE your audience and give them a voice, too.
