Our Guest: Gloria Feldt

Gloria’s leadership story is anything but typical — and that’s what makes it so inspiring. From her 30-year career at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, including 9 years as national president, to co-founding Take The Lead in 2014, her work is reshaping how women claim and use their power.

She’s been named one of Vanity Fair’s “Top 200 Women Legends, Leaders and Trailblazers,” and People Magazine calls her “the voice of experience.” Oh, and she also makes a mean pot of chili.
