A woman’s image immediately brings up certain prescribed roles in the minds of people in society. Even today in the 21st century, those prescribed roles do not include leadership as part of the prescription. In honor of women’s history month, this podcast, adapted from the International Impact award-winning book 'Hardwired To Lead: Power Secrets and Women's Leadership, summarizes four cultural image types that have been assigned to women, all of them limiting, none of them including leadership.

I present my fifth ‘Hardwired-To-Lead’ image to expand the first four that were outlined for women of color. This image specifically includes leadership as a primary role for women who are hard-wired to lead.

The one thing we are born with that has strategic and life implications is our voice. Beyond it's unique identity as an identifier, our voice had the primary responsibility of ensuring our survival. some of our voices were silenced along the way to maturity for many people. Others try to silence our voices so that they can control us by taking away our power. Alice Walker said "No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."

This podcast describes the power of our voice, the silencers of that voice, makes the connection to the reality that silencing hinders our growth and stifles us. and finishes with a call to exercise our voice because it is our power.
