Today's woman grew up in a small town in Alabama.  Her life was simple and family roles were traditional. And she was smart and easily intrigued by things and places that were different. She learned to dance and lose herself in movement.  She became curious about delivering babies and thought nursing was for her. But business was where she was destined to be. The road wasn't easy.  The color of her skin blocked entry into many areas and she always felt she had to be silent.  Then one day she realized she didn't have to play by everyone else's rules.  She could make her own.  And when she made this change in perspective, the world opened up to her. Her vision became clear and her journey to greatness began unfolding in ways she never thought possible.  It is my pleasure to introduce Yalonda Haywood.

This woman grew up in a household of strong values - values that centered on public service, integrity and education. And she found being a lawyer of public policy allowed her to practice all three. But by age 42, she had lost both parents and a brother within 18 months and what she loved doing now all of a sudden had no meaning. She left her high paying law career without a plan and began to travel the world.  And in traveling to foreign places she saw things that touched her heart – extreme poverty, children begging and 10 year old boys laboring in the mountains.  None of these children were in school…a place she knew they needed to be.  And she realized that it was she that needed to make this happen. The “School The World'' organization was born. And through providing education to the extreme poor, to local governments and to communities, this woman's path to greatness continues to unfold. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Kate Curran.

Today's woman wanted to be a dolphin trainer but her mom told her she was being foolish. But she was a pioneer at heart so instead of working with dolphins, she went to Alaska.  She taught school in the bush there and became a commercial bush pilot. She was happy and things were exciting. But her whole world turned upside down when she lost her husband at the age of 34. Nothing had prepared her for such loss with two small children at her side. Yet, this woman moved forward and pioneered in a different business area.  She built a distillery. And with time the deep grief she felt was reshaped and success was once again hers.  She was finally back on her path to greatness. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Felicia Keith-Jones.

This woman grew up in a family that never had much money so when she decided to go to college, she had to figure out how to pay for it.  So, she started her own personal training business to pay her way and discovered that making money wasn't that hard. And when she looked around, she found some people made lots of money while others struggled. This realization started her down a lifelong path toward helping others discover the secrets to making lots of money and the freedom and security that comes with it. And when someone takes her advice and becomes a millionaire, she experiences joy, satisfaction and a deep sense of fulfilled purpose. And as a leader, teacher and mentor, she continues to shine with greatness.  It is my pleasure to introduce to one of the World's Greatest Women – Loral Langemeier. 

Today's woman grew up with incredible parents but she lost both of them by the age of 23. She could have lost her way from experiencing such a deep loss but her brother refused to let this happen. He set out to discover her IQ and when he did, he told her there were no excuses to not excel and that she was designed for something special.  As her life unfolded, she found what he said was true.  But not in the way most think. Yes, she was strong in business but her real foundation of success was not the business models she smartly executed. Instead, her success was rooted in the spiritual principles that led her daily existence. And it was from this place that she became a powerful force who inspired audiences around the world to achieve new levels of professionalism and personal growth. It is my pleasure to introduce one of the World's Greatest Women – Naomi Rhode.

Today's woman was lucky enough to have a college professor lead her toward a career she absolutely loved - public relations.  And she was good at it no matter who she worked for.  Her reputation as being one of the best began to build and clients started to ask for her. Then one day her boss told her that it was impossible to combine happy customers and happy employees in the same space…something she was striving for and valued deep inside.  This was her catalyst for change. She left working for others and started her own company. Fast forward to today and you will find she has created the perfect formula that keeps employees happy while growing a solid customer base.  And in this space of balancing customers and employees, she is building a successful company while walking a path to greatness. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Nicole Rodrigues. 

This woman grew up in a card playing family.  At the age of 22, she played Texas Hold-Em in a casino and after a short while, realized she was really good at cards…especially poker. So she began to play professionally in tournaments across the country and, millions of dollars later, became known as one of the top poker players in the world. And from this place of success, she started to make a difference. She raised money for struggling African countries and for Refugee International. And she stood up against efforts to portray women and men as being different intellectually. In recent years she has used her skills to help young people develop the essential skills of critical thinking and decision making. It is my pleasure to introduce one of the World's Greatest Women - Annie Duke. 

Today's woman is athletic, classy and beautiful.  But for many years, this combination was just a mask for the chaos that was happening on the inside.  She was hacked by alcohol and substance abuse.  Some close to her knew this but instead of confronting and helping her, they became her enablers. Then she had a child and the world seemed right and her drinking stopped…but for only 2 years.  But the tipping point of real change came when her husband realized she was destroying herself and demanded she get help. This shook her awake and a new path was charted. She got help and more importantly learned to close the gap between dreaming of how she wanted her life to be with doing what she needed to do to make her dreams come true. And she knew she could help others do the same. Her story of greatness began unfolding. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Crystal Waltman.

Today's woman was born to teenage Espanic parents.  The home surroundings were humble and simple and even though there sometimes was no running water, she never saw herself as poor. Instead she watched her father work hard for the family and quickly learned that good things came from hard work. As she grew into a young woman, she became restless as young people often do. She wanted to be on her own…to spread her wings. So at age 19, she left home determined to find her own way. A few years later she became a business woman when she bought a franchise in the beauty industry. Then she bought a second one and then a third. And as she got bolder and bolder in her vision, she created her own brand and began to expand it. Her path to greatness had begun. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Edna Posada. 

This woman began her path to greatness when she was a senior in high school. When her father told her that his purpose in life was quote “to make other people glad they saw him”, she thought “I want that too.” The next turning point came at the age of 21 when she embraced her Christian faith and all it stood for. And as the years unfolded, this woman became a blessing to everyone she met.  She became a mother, a wife and an incredibly successful business woman. She became known across the world as a transformational trainer and coach and as one of the premiere speakers of our time. And after decades of touching hundreds to thousands of people from the podium, she is still offering up to everyone one she meets a heart full of love and guidance. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Glenna Salsbury. 

Today's woman had the dream of creating a design company that would impact how people around the world experienced their living spaces. She wasn't sure how she could ever make such a big dream come true.  She decided to start by going into her closet. In this dimly lit small space, she wrote business plans and journaled her thoughts. And when she excitedly shared her vision, others didn't take her seriously. In their eyes she only had a design degree and was certainly too young. But what they couldn't see was her burning desire to impact the world with her designs. All she needed was one person to give her a chance. So, with fake confidence, she went looking for that one person. After many nos, she finally found someone who said yes. That one yes led to two which led to four and, before long, a multi-million-dollar design company was created. Her journey to greatness had begun. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Wendy Yates. 

This woman discovered her passion for women in her mid 20s.  In her community, a serial rapist was in the news but the women he raped were not. When she asked why, she was gently taken to the side and whispered that the victims were prostitutes. She wondered…what does this mean? Isn't every woman valuable? So, she got involved in the case and found the victims of the rapist were from all walks of life…and that these women had families, jobs and dreams. She impacted the case by posting the faces of these victims everywhere and suddenly people started to care.  They saw the victims. And this woman realized she could be the voice for the voices. Her first glimpse into the power she had to make a big difference in women's lives was revealed. And a path toward greatness unfolded.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Chaunci Cline.  

Today's woman was thriving and climbing the corporate ladder. She was respected and admired as a top HR executive.  But things weren't all wonderful.  Her marriage was toxic but she couldn't leave. She had grown up in a family where marriages were not allowed to fail.  And then a health challenge came her way and rocked her world even further. She desperately needed to take back control of her life. So, in 2012 she started her own company and put her total focus toward creating high levels of excellence in personal and business relationships.  In this new venture she changed all aspects of her life – how she thought, how she took care of herself and who she surrounded herself with. She began to understand the complexities of herself and of others. And her ability to bring others to a high level of excellence unfolded.  Her path to greatness had begun and has continued to unfold in ways she couldn't have ever imagined.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Kathryn Ford. 

Today's woman was raised in a low-income family and as a child believed money was bad. However, as she grew into a young woman, she found earning money was easy for her.  But holding on to it was a different story.  It seemed to just disappear!  When her accountant pointed out that she had spent $80,000 in the previous year on eating out, she was shocked and felt sick to her stomach. She knew she had to change. As she searched for answers, she discovered more money meant more influence and impact…in fact, lots more. And she wanted these.  So, this new desire became her catalyst for change. She started to use her money differently. Instead of fine dining, she helped children find direction and women to be entrepreneurs. And it was from this place of giving that her story to greatness began to unfold.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Cathy Christen.  

This woman took her first airplane ride at 5 years old and even at this young age she loved everything about seeing the world from 30,000 feet. When she graduated college, she knew that in the skies was where she wanted to be. But never did she image she would start as a flight attendant and end up being a commercial pilot flying Boeing 787s. And nor could she have ever imagined that her piloting skills would also lead her to flying combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.  But the whole world opened up for this woman when she was bold enough to say “why not me”. And as she sees the world from the windshield of an airplane, this woman continues to soar toward greatness. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Carla Riner.  

This woman was 9 years old when she showed the world what she was destined to be. It started with a stolen bike and her determination to find the man who had taken her precious new birthday gift. It was the beginning of her as a Private Investigator and the over 6000 cases solved to date.  But this unique career journey has never been about the cases she solves.  It has been about her using her work as a way to bless others. And it has been in this mindset that this woman continues to walk the path of greatness. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Monica Morton.  

This woman had a gift many others didn't have – a gift that could impact and help others along life's journey. But as a young woman this gift got her into trouble and led her to feeling misunderstood and alone. So, she chose to hide her special gift and instead, used her financial education to create a successful international company focused on wealth generation for those pursuing cross border living.  But as the years passed something happened and she bravely started to look for ways to utilize her hidden gift. And in this, a path to greatness began to unfold. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Jennifer Patterson.  

This woman was a sales and marketing superstar in a Fortune 50 company yet was ignored and sexually harassed. Even though she was a strong young woman, this disconnect from what she was accomplishing to how she was being treated ended in a nervous breakdown. Then there was betrayal in her marriage and her world crumpled. And she lost the most valuable thing she had…her faith and trust in herself. But then something happened. She started to write books as well as showcase her brilliance on YouTube.  And a new astonishing path began to unfold and the seeds to greatness began to grow.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Andrea Albright.  

This woman was moved toward greatness by a 3 year old who wanted to have a birthday party. This intuitive love coach and matchmaker already had a mission that was important and fulfilling but when she realized her child did not have what she needed to feel special and accepted, she became a mom on a mission.  Why had it taken so long to address the need of a 3 year old, she wondered to herself. And it was in this question that she found a strong desire to not only impact her child but all the children to follow. The path to greatness had begun.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Casandra Henriquez, aka Coach Cass.  

This woman was envied and admired as she was the only female speaker with one of the world's greatest male trainers. But people see what they want to see, including ourselves. Those who envied her didn't know that the path she had traveled to get to this point was marred by years of violence, sexual abuse and abandonment. Nor did they know about the eating disorder she had overcome as a young woman. But the old saying “what doesn't kill you makes you stronger” began to define her life. And from a place of strength she decided to leave her dream position and create her own place of impact.  And this is when her true path to greatness began.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to Mina Shah.  

Selling seashell bracelets at the tender age of 6 was this woman's entry into business and the world of entrepreneurship. And as she grew into a young woman, she explored the creative sides of herself. At 17, she bought a guitar and joined a band. And then fashion and beauty caught her attention and she was hooked. She began modeling in the US and in London. But it was here that she saw the uglier side of being a woman in the business world.  And that her journey to greatness began. It is my pleasure to welcome Jaclyn Milford.

This woman was a little girl with a dream. At the age of 2, she told her parents she would be a doctor and help lots of people. And 30 years later, she was a doctor with a thriving practice…her dream had come true. But sometimes life has a way of forcing one to change directions and dig deep to see who they really are.  And this is what happened to this doctor and was when the real journey to greatness began for her. It is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Sheri Prentiss.

This woman dreamed of being in the limelight.  She wasn't sure what this might look like but she just knew she wanted it. Her journey toward her dream started with music as she sang for Pope John Paul II in Rome. But music wasn't where she was to shine.  Instead her path landed her in television where she eventually became the anchor woman in a major TV market.  And it was here that all aspects of her where tested and her true grooming for greatness began. It is my pleasure to introduce Liz Brunner.

Today's woman had a powerful start in life by being raised by two successful parent role models. But they were only the beginning of her journey to greatness.  As a young woman, she decided to play BIG in the business world and was not afraid to go against the norm to achieve her goals. And, before she knew it, she was deemed a trailblazer in male dominated business spaces like the automotive industry. But with each male dominated arena she navigated, she learned a hard fact – the world owed her nothing – and success would only be hers if she was willing to fight for it.  It is my pleasure to introduce Lisa Copeland.

This woman often wished she had more talent, more intelligence and was better looking.  But she quickly learned that she had more than enough of all three of these. And the success she would claim throughout her life was more than she could have ever imagined. From award winning TV shows to best-selling books to successful company ventures, it appeared to others that she had it all and that she couldn't have ever lacked anything.  But her road has not always been easy and her journey to greatness has been full of lessons that she generously shares with others today.  It is my pleasure to introduce Rita Davenport.

This woman knows what struggle looks like.  Her first introduction was at the age of 12. Her faith in God directed her toward the struggles of others and a lifetime of mission trips began. But at age 21, she was face to face with her own struggle. She found herself homeless and had to live out of her car. Yet 8 years later this same young woman was featured in Forbes and Fortune as owning one of the fastest growing woman-owned companies in the world. It is my pleasure to welcome Britnie Turner.

This woman lives, breathes and embodies financial independence…not just for you but for your family.  Yet, she knows that so many women and their families don't have it.  They spend too much, save too little and then struggle when the world around them changes. But this woman knows it can be different.  And it is in this space that her greatness shines!  She never gives up on showing you how to have money, manage money and experience the security it can bring.   It is my pleasure to  introduce one of the World's Greatest Women - Sharon Lechter.

Today's woman is the essence of contradictions….especially as it relates to business and gender. She continues to be a successful business woman who has built her business model on the backbone of philanthropy….a feat many women struggle to maneuver successfully. And even though she shows up in the business world as an attractive and petite minority attorney, ego-driven NFL and NBA athletes see her as a trusted confidant who can make their deals happen.   It is my pleasure to introduce you to Kimberly Haynes.

For 25 years, David Day has given businesses objectivity in the pursuit of their goals. Now, the old rulebook for operating in business has been thrown out the window.

David takes us further down the road (post-pandemic) ; taking the current trends and seeing a glimpse of the future. For companies and individuals. (Spoiler alert: The future looks bright for women in leadership.) And it doesn't stop there.

Twitter -- https://twitter.com/DrewPells#120 Chelsea's bad performances of late paired with FIFA upholding the transfer ban could lead to a major problem for the next decade at the club. Wolves advanced to the FA Cup semifinals and need to go for the trophy; Swansea blew a 2 goal lead and don't deserve sympathy; the friendlies for US Soccer have high prices which anger fans, but I explain the pricing model; Kelly Smith said in a interview that there won't be a women manager in a top league in her lifetime which I both agree and disagree with. Thanks for listening.www.drewpells.com for everything On The Counter with Drew PellsFacebook -- https://www.facebook.com/onthecounterpodcast/Listen on iTunes -- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-counter/id1315935852?mt=2Listen on Android -- https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/on-the-counterSubscribe.

Katherine Preston's new book, Opera for the People: English-Language Opera & Women Managers in Late 19th-Century America (Oxford University Press, 2017) is the first complete overview of the repertoire, companies, performers, and managers that provided English-language opera to Americans after the Civil War. Preston is one of the pioneers of the musicological study of American musical culture during the nineteenth century. In one of her earlier books, Opera on the Road: Traveling Opera Troupes in the United States, 1825–60 (University of Illinois Press, 1993), Preston established that opera was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States. In Opera for the People, Preston focuses on English-language opera companies that traveled throughout the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century bringing European operas and operettas performed in English translation to big cities and small towns alike. She argues that the middle-class audience cultivated by English-language troupes eventually turned their attention to musical theater beginning around 1900. Many of the troupes Preston examines were managed by their leading prima donnas, which complicates the traditional view of nineteenth-century American women as confined to the private sphere. Despite wielding significant artistic and economic power, these women were accepted by their peers and the musical press. Bolstered by her stringent attention to detail and impressive primary research, Preston's monograph finishes the account of the history of opera in America she began twenty-five years ago Katherine K. Preston is the David N. and Margaret C. Bottoms Professor (emerita) at the College of William and Mary. She has published multiple books including Music for Hire: Professional Musicians in Washington, D.C. 1877-1900 and a scholarly edition of George Bristow's Symphony No. 2, along with many articles in journals and collected editions. A past president of the Society for American Music, Preston has been active in promoting the study of American music throughout her career and has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Humanities Center, and the Fulbright Foundation. She will deliver the annual American Musicological Society lecture at the Library of Congress on April 16, 2019, which will be available on the Library's website. Learn more about your ad choices.
