KGS204 | How Women In Leadership Can Stand Out And Succeed In A World of Male Dominated Leaders with Dr Martha Saunders and Kingsley Grant

+++ A WOMAN IN CHARGE +++


I've heard some people wonder out loud, what it would be like if
women were in charge of higher institutions. Are you one of them?


I know what it is like to have a woman in charge of our family
without "being in charge" ... my mom.


One thing I can say is that she stood out as a leader not only in
our home but in our neighborhood. She succeeded in that role
without wearing the mantle of "leader."


However, there is one woman who has stood out and succeeded like
my mom, but with a position of leadership. Her name is Dr. Laura
Saunders.


In this episode, you will hear how our guest - Dr. Laura Saunders
- navigated the world of male-dominated leaders to become the
first and only female president of a university in the State of
Florida. She will share how other women can also standout and
succeed.
