In this episode, Monica sits down with Rachel Platt, founder of PLATTinum Consulting, to unpack the real issues leaders face behind closed doors: burnout, disengagement, culture cracks, and hiring misfires.
Rachel doesn’t just talk theory—she brings battle-tested strategies from the front lines of HR and leadership coaching. You’ll hear why most leaders overlook the human side of performance, how financial literacy impacts retention, and what it actually takes to build a team that sticks around and shows up.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready for practical, people-centered strategies that work, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
