"Perceptive: Insights for leaders who feel more, process deeply, and think differently"

***Nonfiction Book Award Silver Winner***
***NYC Big Book Award Winner***

What if the way you experience the world—deeply, intuitively, with intense perception—isn’t a challenge to overcome, but a strength to harness?

If you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or struggled to navigate corporate environments that seem to reward detachment over depth, Perceptive offers a powerful reframe: Your heightened awareness, empathy, global thinking and strong sense of justice aren’t flaws to fix—they’re superpowers to embrace.

High sensitivity is a neurological trait shared by 30% of the population yet frequently misunderstood or stigmatized. Drawing from research, wisdom and insights from accomplished women leaders, and relatable stories from her own severe burnout to finding her mission, Rachel Radway reveals how this form of neurodivergence represents not a limitation or weakness but a powerful leadership asset.

Perceptive offers deep feelers and thinkers validation, compassion, and a roadmap to leading with confidence, clarity, and authenticity. It’s equally essential for HR professionals and executives committed to building inclusive, innovative organizations where everyone can thrive.

I help leaders with high sensory intelligence embrace their superpowers and find alignment | Coach, facilitator, connector

I spent 25+ years in corporate leadership roles, masking, suffocating in toxic environments, knowing the work I was tasked with didn’t always align with my values and goals. 

I’ve struggled: With communication. With feeling like I had to dumb myself down or shut off my real feelings to keep my job. With a mind that often leaps ahead and makes connections others aren’t seeing. With knowing things and being unable to explain how I know.  

Leaving corporate to help others lead authentically and confidently was the best (and one of the hardest) moves I’ve made.

About you:
You’re a high-achiever, a leader, a force for change. You have superpowers: empathy, intuition, creativity, and strategic thinking, for just a start. And you’re finally ready to get out of your own way and uplevel your life and work. 

You've probably always known or suspected that you're wired a little differently. You might identify as highly perceptive, HSP, ADHD, ASD, or neurodivergent. Or not. Regardless, you’ve always moved to your own beat. 

The leaders I work with are each brilliant in their own ways. Talented and driven, they're doing amazing things in and for the world. 

😔 And they struggle—with overthinking and overwhelm. With burnout. 
😔 They sabotage themselves by talking too much or too little. 
😔 They take care of everything and everyone—except themselves. 
😔 They stand up for others but hesitate to advocate for themselves.
😔 They say yes when they want to say no, and dream of having more white space on their calendars.

After working with me, clients have:
🤩 Asked for—and gotten—a 25% raise.
😃 Told me they're sleeping better than they have in 10 years.
😍 Saved their marriage.
🤩 Gotten 3 job offers simultaneously.
😃 Released commitments and rearranged daily schedules so they could work smarter, fewer hours, and more effectively.

I’ve always known that my brain wasn’t “typical.” I identify as highly perceptive/high-sensory, and recently learned I'm an AuDHDer, which came as a shock but not as a surprise. It explains a lot of patterns in my life and work. It’s not about the labels, though: It’s about discovering who you are and what excites you. What brings you joy. What conditions you thrive in, and how to design your life and work to support you.

❓Do your life and work support you? Are you thriving?
❓If yes, fabulous—I’m thrilled for you! What are your new goals and dreams? Do you have a trusted thought partner to support you in achieving them? 
❓If you answered no, what’s holding you back? What support do you need to create the conditions you’ll thrive in?
