Kelly has a fascinating conversation with Dr. Marisa Porges, who currently runs The Baldwin School outside of Philadelphia, but she also worked in the Obama White House and flew fighter jets for the Navy.

Dr. Marisa Porges might be the most impressive person I've ever talked to. Here goes. Today Dr. Porges is the the eighth Head of School of The Baldwin School, a 130-year-old all-girls school outside of Philadelphia, that is renowned for academic excellence and preparing girls to be leaders and changemakers. She is an alumna of Baldwin and personally understands the power of its approach to educating girls: it provided the foundation for her own military service and work on national security and foreign affairs. Prior to joining Baldwin, Dr. Porges was a leading counterterrorism and national security expert. Most recently, she served in the Obama White House as a senior policy advisor and White House Fellow at the National Economic Council, where she oversaw the development of domestic cybersecurity and consumer protection policies. She also has served as a research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and at the Council on Foreign Relations, where her research focused on counterterrorism. In these roles, she traveled alone throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan to conduct research, interview former members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, meet with Syrian rebel fighters in hiding, and serve as an embedded civilian advisor at NATO military headquarters in Afghanistan. She also worked as a counterterrorism policy advisor in the U.S. Department of Treasury and as a foreign affairs advisor in the U.S. Department of Defense. In all these roles, she stood out as one of a few – if not the only – women present, at any given time.  Dr. Porges started her career on active duty in the U.S. Navy, flying jets off carriers as a naval flight officer on EA-6B Prowlers. Ten years after the Navy first allowed women to fly jets into combat, she pursued her dream of being launched off an aircraft carrier while serving her country. She earned a B.A. in geophysics from Harvard, an MSc from the London School of Economics, and a PhD in war studies from King's College London. Her awards include the National Committee on American Foreign Policy 21st Century Leader Award and the NATO Medal for service in Afghanistan. Dr. Porges lives outside of Philadelphia, with her family. See what I mean? I was literally reading Marisa's bio to Tim the night before I interviewed her and he said, "That's the most impressive thing I've ever heard. So she's basically Carrie from Homeland?" [minus the personal issues!] I believe the coolest part about her is that she took all of this badassery and decided to use it to help create the next generation of badasses! Notables: In the navy she was the Goose to another's Maverick when she was flying jets off carriers. She's enjoyed a "choose your own adventure" career - we could all use this for inspiration Buy her book! What Girls Need: How to Raise Bold, Courageous and Resilient Women Sports nurture a competitive drive that transfers into careers: 92% of successful c-suite women were athletes! Skills needed for girls to be successful later in life: Speaking up/Self-advocating, How to ask for what you need, How to adapt to change, How to collaborate Adaptability is TEACHABLE! The goal is to have a high Adaptability Quotient Quick fact: Women are more likely to be interrupted than their male peers Girls/women need both mentors and SPONSORS. Mentors give advice. Sponsors create opportunities. Tactics to start while your kids are young: Read fiction (this creates empathy - an ability to see from the other character's point of view), Give your child tasks that may seem above her "pay grade" (I.e. have your kid call and order the pizza. Empower her to use her voice.) For more Marisa Porges: Follow her at @the.baldwin.school @marisaporges Buy her book What Girls Need Marisa is AMAZING!!!!

Globally, women are more educated today than at any point in history, but are still not as educated as men. The education gap is closing and it's fair to say that the "future is female." Organizations who will survive the post COVID era need to revise their approach to leadership and tap into the unique talents and perspectives women bring to every situation. How can we prepare women to authentically step into leadership? Dr. Kim tackles that question with Dr. Marisa Porges. The two discuss How to cultivate resiliency in everyday moments with tactical strategy; What to do when the unexpected happens; the challenge women face with giving themselves permission to evolve; The truths about juggling motherhood and careers; and more...

Dr. Porges served as senior advisor in the Obama White House; was a research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and the Council on Foreign Relations, where her research focused on counterterrorism; and served in the U.S. Navy as one of eight female aviators in an air wing of about two hundred. She lives in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, with her family. Known for her work on leadership, education, and national security, Porges combines lessons she learned throughout her career with the practices she is developing at The Baldwin School, to help today's girls cultivate the skills they need to become tomorrow's leading women. The ways we define leadership are changing, and the women now stepping into leadership roles are mapping new paths to inhabiting traits such as grit, resilience, audacity, and self-confidence. The lessons Porges shares in WHAT GIRLS NEED prepares the next generation to confidently hold their own later in life in whatever fields they enter and no matter what challenges they face. WHAT GIRLS NEED demonstrates how to celebrate and own the traits which might have been undervalued in the past but which are more critical than ever today and will make the biggest difference in decades to come – including empathy, collaboration, and adaptability. Given the added pressure now placed on children because of school closures and the unfolding public health crisis, there is no better time to ensure parents know the most effective strategies for nurturing their daughters' courage and resilience.

Share what female role models have inspired you to achieve what you desire personally and professionally in the comments section of the episode page.   Quotes: “I think we often think about the skills you need to lead or run a business or whatever spot you are in in your career. And we think we as women may have a disadvantage, particularly in male-dominated industries or entrepreneurship where there are fewer women statistically speaking. But there are some innate skills that research shows that come naturally to women, that particularly now, and in the years ahead as leadership models change, that will be our advantages.” (7:44) “That looks different for each person, but for women in particular given how many of us rely on people in our lives to level set, in a crisis, you can’t forget that or else you will not support the mission. They go hand in hand.” (14:05) “We often talk about adaptability as resilience in response to a change in difficulty. But adaptability is something we need on a daily basis, even if it isn’t a pandemic.” (16:46) “Having different perspectives on something is where really interesting creative solutions come in, particularly in a time where we are all having to think so outside of the box in how we do not just our work, but live our daily lives.” (23:49) “We need to start when children, girls, in particular, are in elementary school, pre-teen, 10 years old. Teaching them to speak up, speak out, collaborate, empathize, communicate differently, adapt, take risks, and these are the lessons they need when they are young. Because if they practice them then when they are older, it will come naturally.” (34:50)   Resources Mentioned: What Girls Need by Dr. Marisa Porges   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube

Pittsburgh CAPA 9th grader gives a personal pep-talk, a profile on a young Pittsburgh artist, and a Baldwin School graduate with a commentary on white supremacy in the US

Hi everyone, today on the show, I have Jan Pethick, my high school art teacher. He taught sculpture and so much more at the Baldwin School, an all girls school, in Bryn Mawr, PA for 38 years. In a vigorous academic setting, he let us pursue our creative interests, whatever those might be, for me it was sewing. There were always lots of laughs mixed in with the hard work to took to complete our projects. Chatting with him now, so much later, it’s the laughs and the fun I remember, the way he believed in us to trust our own interests and his huge love of learning that stick with me.  What a legacy to leave to so many young women. I can’t wait for you to hear this far ranging and very funny chat with Jan Pethick.   Show notes here: www.knitcollage.com/63
