Teaching Girls Skills for Success with Amy Klein
As moms, we are limited in what we can teach our daughters. No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to offer them advice on every aspect of their lives, and this is totally normal. This is why your children need to be exposed to many mentors and experts so they can learn a range of different skills to ensure they are set up for success at whatever they try their hand in. Amy Klein’s life mission is to change the face of women leadership, one young lady at a time, through The Courageous Brand, an educational company that looks to instill courage and confidence in women and girls. Coming from a successful career in sales and leadership, the absence of women in leadership positions inspired Amy to work towards creating foundational change. In this episode, Amy talks about the impetus for co-founding The Courageous Brand. We talk about the importance of courage and hear how to build confidence. Our conversation also touches on the Entregirl Leadership Academy, what girls will learn if they participate, and how the program leverages experts to help girls build robust knowledge and skills.
