Rachel Druckenmiller didn’t see it coming: one second she was crossing the street with her husband, and the next she was in a hospital trauma room with a compression fracture in her back.
While the experience eventually changed her life, it was the last thing she needed in the midst of an already difficult year, she shared at this year’s Benefits at Work conference in San Diego, where Druckenmiller appeared as keynote speaker on Wednesday. It eventually taught her a valuable lesson about leadership and what it means to bring compassion and understanding to any role.
