Power to You Podcast Episode #8: How to Be Called Up to Leadership
Episode Summary:
Taking a cue from Joe Biden’s public announcement that he will select a woman as a VP candidate if he is his party’s nominee, Gloria takes a closer look at how someone might get herself ready to be selected for a major leadership role in any organization. She invites us to consider: how does one position oneself to be tapped by others who see your talent and want to help you move forward? How does one break through the barrier of otherness, of not being like or looking like the people that we have always seen in that seat? Gloria’s guidance on these and other foundational questions will help us all normalize women’s leadership at the highest levels.
