Welcome to another episode of The Excitable Soul Podcast! In this episode, we welcome Dr. Mackenzie Cramblett, a transformational leadership coach and facilitator whose career has spanned continents and industries, from global research in Africa and Europe to advising Fortune 500 executives. Together, we dive into the meaning of “soul” in both personal and collective contexts, exploring how our sense of purpose is tied to concepts like destiny, agency, and responsibility, not just as individuals, but as members of communities and organisations. Our conversation is honest and thought-provoking, filled with real stories of everyday humanity, vulnerability, and the magic that happens when we show up as our fullest selves. You’ll hear insights on the impact of loneliness and disconnection in modern society, the power of being seen, and the challenge of embracing both our achievements and our vulnerabilities. Plus, you’ll get a glimpse into Mackenzie’s fascinating journey, from her early love of French and anthropology to a career in research, consulting, and now coaching leaders to find their own inner freedom and fulfilment. This open, soulful exchange is all about uncovering the highest expressions of humanity—individually and together. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with your own purpose or simply enjoy a meaningful conversation, this episode is sure to inspire. Let’s get started!
