Whether you’re leading in ministry, the marketplace, or your community, you’ll be equipped to lead with clarity, courage, and purpose—no matter the environment. SHOW NOTES: Owning Your Calling as a Woman Dr. Kate Coleman shares how she stepped into leadership despite cultural resistance, learning that God didn’t call her in spite of who she was—but because of it. From Science to Seminary Kate opens up about her unexpected shift from a career in science to becoming the UK’s first Black female Baptist minister—and the challenges she faced along the way. Sticky Floors and Stained-Glass Ceilings Kate unpacks both the internal and external barriers that hold women back, from self-limiting beliefs to institutional systems that still resist women’s leadership. Seven Areas of Leadership Formation Dr. Anna Morgan outlines the seven key areas God uses to form female leaders—from spiritual growth and emotional intelligence to communication and relationships. Why Environment and Networks Matter Anna explains how denominational culture and leadership structures affect the trajectory of a woman’s calling—and why creating opportunities for women is vital. Knowing Why You’re in the Room Christine shares from decades of experience being “the only woman in the room,” and the importance of knowing your assignment rather than trying to prove your worth.
