We are ending this season with the incomparable Heather Zempel for a life-enhancing discussion on leadership and women. Heather’s brilliant insights can be applied at any stage of life’s journey—whether you are a woman or a man. Heather has paved the way for many women like myself and has become a mentor.

She is the author of several books, including her most recent titles, Amazed and Confused and Big Change, Small Groups. She loves football, BBQ, and having adventures with her husband Ryan and their fun-loving daughter, Sawyer Elizabeth.
