In this webinar, Linda McCulloch, Secretary of State of Montana, discussed the power of self-belief, and how she overcame her fear of becoming an elected official. As the first on her father’s side to graduate high school and the first on her mother’s side to graduate college, Linda doubted her abilities to run for the Montana State Legislature. However, her outspoken attitude, problem solving skills, and willingness to tackle the issues proved invaluable in the political world. In her position of Secretary of State of Montana, Linda uses her strength as a woman to inspire others to come together in order to address important issues.

This presentation also covered what Linda lists as her top five leadership competencies:

  •  Takes initiative
  • Displays high integrity and honesty
  • Inspires and motivates others
  • Collaboration and teamwork
  • Solves problems and analyzes issues

This webinar will benefit women and girls interested in growing their leadership abilities and maneuvering a field dominated by men. It will also provide tangible strategies to help women and girls navigate difficult situations and hard decisions while staying true to their principles.
