Leading Through Transformation: Trust, Resilience & Tech with Rachel Burr | Rachel Burr | The Cyber Savvy Woman | EP 104

In this episode of THE CYBER SAVVY WOMAN, host Rachele Schainker sits down with executive coach and author Rachel Burr for a thoughtful conversation on leadership, mindset, and navigating change in a tech-driven world.

Rachel Burr shares her journey into leadership coaching, the critical role of mindset and self-awareness, and why imposter syndrome is far more common among leaders than many realize—especially women. Together, they explore practical ways to build trust and resilience within teams, how leaders can create a healthy culture around cybersecurity without fear or overwhelm, and why partnerships matter when navigating complex technology decisions.

Rachel also discusses key insights from her book Butterfly Goo, a powerful metaphor for transformation that emphasizes embracing discomfort, leveraging core strengths, and trusting yourself through change.
