257 | Investing in Women's Development with Catherine Gates

Join us this week on Lead Culture podcast as we chat with Catherine Gates, who’s had quite the journey from cobalt programming to leadership powerhouse. Catherine’s career took off when she shifted from tech to starting an information center, which led her to discover her true passion for leadership. From there, she dived into consulting, sales training, and nonprofit work, proving that being open to learning and adapting can open so many doors.

We’ll dive into how Catherine blended her career with her faith, starting when a teammate openly shared her spiritual journey. This led Catherine to explore how God could be a part of her work life and even inspired her to move to Arkansas after some heartfelt guidance. Catherine’s story is full of great advice on embracing change, taking risks, and the importance of faith in work.

She’ll also share insights on the Polished Network—a fantastic community for Christian women in the workplace—and give us the scoop on the Boldly Conference, which is just around the corner. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to balance your career with your faith and navigate your own leadership path, this episode is for you. Tune in for a conversation packed with wisdom and practical tips!
