Adrienne’s incredible, multi-passionate guest - Shannon Marie Whittington - is a John Maxwell Servant Based Leadership Expert, author of two books, a leadership consultant specializing in LGBTQ inclusion, a transgender health expert, and a Registered Nurse. We discuss what it’s like for people to live in a heteronormative world and how the LGBTQ population handles all the prejudices in families, companies, and the healthcare system. Lean why all companies should learn about LGBT inclusion, and how the nursing profession has evolved from ‘just’ bedside nursing.
