Gloria Feldt, published author, former President of Planned Parenthood, and CEO, and co-founder of Take the Lead, discusses with host Charlie Stone the importance of gender parity in leadership and the power of “intentioning” for women. She emphasizes the need for women to embrace their power and use it to make a positive impact. The conversation explores the topics of gender socialization, biological differences between men and women, the impact of gender constructs on society, the role of women in leadership, and the importance of women supporting each other. It also discusses how men can help by listening and the value of fathers in children’s lives, but she concludes that there are “…any number of kinds of families that can be successful. Love that child. Give them what they need to grow up. And everything will be fine.”
