Reflective Inquiry Creates Breakthrough Change

Inspired Wisdom Podcast

Reflective Inquiry is an active replay where people are invited to see their own truth.

Dr. Marcia Reynolds is the expert organizations call on to breathe life into their conversations and cultures using reflective inquiry.

Marcia is energetic, funny and 100% committed to transformational leadership.

As a child, she was described as precocious, opinionated and with some kind of social problem. When she was 19, she found herself in jail struggling with drug abuse and low self-esteem. But that changed when her cellmate unwittingly reflected what she saw - a smart, strong woman who cared about people. Her cellmate told Marcia, “when you get that in here (pointing to her heart), you can do anything out there.”

And Marcia has done just that. Over the past 30 years, she has spoken and coached leaders in 38 countries and reached over 100K people worldwide in her training programs.  

Reflective Inquiry provokes insight; questions just get answers. My Interview with Marcia will be of benefit if you want to:
