About Rebecca Edwards
Rebecca Edwards, founder of Salt Rock Strategies, discussed her career and perspectives on a podcast episode of Impact After Hours released in August 2025. Edwards, who previously led communications for organizations including the International Olympic Committee, stated that she recently launched her own consulting firm, Salt Rock Strategies, and expressed openness to providing strategic communications advice, issues management, and coaching. She described empathy as "a great asset" in strategic communications and leadership, and noted that she had to overcome feedback about being "too sensitive" before embracing feelings as a "superpower." During the interview, Edwards also shared a personal anecdote about a negative experience on a ride at Disney in her 20s, which she said left her with a lasting sense memory, though she noted she has since ridden roller coasters such as Space Mountain. She mentioned that she was reading Deborah Archer's book *Dividing Lines*, which she described as a story about systemic racism in U.S. transportation infrastructure.
