But far too often women feel like they fall short and don’t have what it takes to be an effective leader. Coach Meg Tilton is on the podcast today to talk about women leadership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how all women already have leadership qualities, it’s just a matter of recognizing them and using them in their own way to bless the lives of those they lead.
