Inspire Club Podcast: EP #32 – Rachel Miller
This episode of the Inspire Club Podcast features Rachel Miller—founder and principal consultant of All Things IC, chartered PR professional, and author of Internal Communication Strategy. Rachel joins host Matt Manners to discuss her remarkable journey from trainee journalist to internationally recognised comms leader.
Rachel recalls how one conversation with a mentor changed everything: “I said, ‘I don’t have a degree.’ He replied, ‘I don’t care about that—you’re here because of your potential.’” That acceptance sparked a belief that anything was possible and inspired her approach to leadership today.
She also reflects on the darker side of ambition—burnout—and how that experience now shapes the way she runs her business. “I never want my team to feel unable to take a break,” she says. The discussion dives into the evolution of wellbeing at work, the importance of listening with compassion, and how trust in your instincts can guide even the hardest decisions.
From hosting All Things IC Live to discovering the power of Lego for mindfulness, Rachel’s insight is full of humanity, humour, and honesty. Her best advice, courtesy of her brother, stays with you long after listening: “Trust your gut.”
Listen in for an uplifting reminder that leadership isn’t about titles or degrees. It’s about empathy, belief and being brave enough to go first.
