Linda Patten is founder of Dare2Lead with Linda. She is the author of The Art of Herding Cats: Leading Teams of Leaders and that alone was a terrific reason for us to meet! Any long term listeners know what a cat person I am! and yes, herding cats is certainly a challenge!
Her life’s work is challenging women to dare to lead: whether it is for navigating the often-daunting entrepreneurial world, building strong teams for a thriving business, stepping out of the shadows into the light as a leader of one’s life, or learning the leadership skills that will grow the seeds of change into a world-level movement.
She shares her own business journey with us and one of the key standouts for me is when Linda talks about serving others:
"Have a vision for what you want to achieve, tell everyone and then be curious about what they are trying to achieve. What is their vision and what do they need and how does your vision match their need?"
Linda is an international keynote speaker and international best-selling author, syndicated radio show host, leadership expert on all things Leadership.
With 40 years of leadership experience spanning the military (including protocol officer to a 4-star general), corporate, and entrepreneurial arenas, Linda is uniquely qualified to guide women on their journey of self-discovery, skills development, and a charted course toward becoming an extraordinary leader.
Her book and 12-step program, The Art of Herding Cats: Leading Teams of Leaders, are rooted in her heartfelt vision to empower women to step out, step up, and step into the kind of leadership that creates positive change in the world.
Her latest book, No One Stood Up When I Entered the Room: One Woman’s Journey from Command to True Leadership show why Comfluential™ leadership will redefine what leadership is.
