Episodes
Written By

My inspiring guest today is Gloria Feldt, who is an expert on women, power and leadership, a New York Times bestselling author and keynote speaker.

She is the co-founder and president of Take The Lead, whose mission and ambition is to prepare, develop, inspire, and propel women to take their share in leadership positions across all sectors by 2025. Previously she served as the president and CEO of the world’s largest reproductive health and advocacy organization, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, where she spent 30 years of her career. 

Gloria was named by Vanity Fair one of “America’s Top 200 Women Leaders, Legends, and Trailblazers,”, Women’s eNews 21 Leaders for the 21st Century, Texas Monthly’s Texas 20, Martin Luther King Living the Dream Award, and Forbes 40 Over 40.

I've had such a great conversation with this powerful woman, as we talked about her career, about the touchy subject of abortion, what men can do to contribute to the conversation about women's leadership, but also about Gloria's passion for baking challah bread. Now matter who you are, you're going to love this interview. 

"Businesses that have more women in leadership, and more diversity in general, make more money." - Gloria Feldt
