In this episode, I am going to provide a review of the best leadership quotes, the most inspirational quotes, the most empowering quotes by female leaders.

I do not worry about who said it (e.g., politically left or right). I am only concerned with the content of the quotes.

If you are working on a report or a presentation, or you just need a little inspiration, you don’t want to miss this.

As a bonus, I have linked the entire presentation so you can use any of the quotes. I have cited sources for pictures where the pictures where necessary. Enjoy!

It seems that every time you turn on the news, you see ethical train wrecks. In this episode, I talk about how you can make more ethical decisions. 

Standard business texts propose a 4-prong model for making ethical decisions. I will talk about that and I will propose a different 3-prong model for making ethical decisions.

64% of Americans drink coffee every day. Want your coffee money to support a great cause? A missionary in Colombia began using coffee to fund a home for homeless girls in Medellín. Many of these girls had turned to prostitution and were pregnant. 100% of the profits from Bebebeans funds this shelter—Esther’s Home (http://www.tministries.org/esther-s-home).  

In this episode, Brian tells the story of Esther’s Home, Bebe Beans, and how you can have a part in helping these women.

Please visit the website: www.Bebebeans.com and check it out.

Brian was a guest on the podcast before. In episode 33 and 34, I had Brian Miller on the show. In the first episode, we heard about Brian’s unique perspective on leadership:
