What does it take to find your voice in rooms that weren’t built with you in mind?

In this episode of SpeakHER Sessions, Kim Atwood sits down with Billie Williams, Athletic Director at Chapin High School, to talk about her nontraditional path into leadership — from assistant cheer coach to leading a 5A athletic program.

Billie shares what she’s learning about earning credibility, leading adults after years of leading students, and why the student experience must stay at the center of school culture.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of perspective for anyone navigating leadership in spaces that challenge you to grow.
