In this episode of QuickHITs, we're joined by Rebecca Woods, Founder and CEO of Bluebird Leaders, a vibrant and fast-growing community on a mission to empower women in healthcare IT. Rebecca shares what inspired her to create the organization, how it's evolved into a powerful network of nearly 5,000 followers and 250+ members, and why community and mentorship are essential to changing the leadership landscape. Alongside hosts Tyler Smith and Ken Booth, Rebecca discusses what it means to build a personal brand with intention, how to lead with empathy while navigating chaos, and the importance of letting people, especially future leaders, fail, learn, and grow. From her "hooky day" parenting rules to her viral pink sparkly shoes moment, Rebecca brings refreshing honesty, sharp insight, and a deep passion for helping others rise. Whether you're an aspiring leader, a seasoned executive, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you inspired to show up more authentically for yourself and for others.
