Happy Friday to you and thanks so much for tuning in to another Military Spouse Talk Radio. Around the corner or around the globe, this is the place where the voice of the military spouse can be heard, Sharing our stories, up close and personal, I am your host, Victoria Parham.

Today’s show is good to the last drop information packed so I encourage you to download the mp3 to your ipod or computer because today, we’re talking about Women and Leadership. As a military spouse, you probably find yourself having to step up into the leadership role quite often (whether on your job, in your support or networking groups, during times of deployment or separation).

Some of you embrace the role of leadership, taking the bull by the horns and running with it, while others of you struggle with leadership, thinking within yourself I just don’t have what it takes to be a good leader.

Joining me today by telephone to talk about “Women and Leadership” are guests subject matter experts, Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch, Founders of Lead Star and Authors of a new book titled:  Leading from the Front.

Angie Morgan:  is a an active duty Marine Corps Spouse.

• Angie began her Marine Corps career in 1993 when she enrolled in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at the University of Michigan. Upon graduation, she completed NROTC at the top of her class, serving as Battalion Commander for 120 midshipmen.
• Angie currently lives in Quantico, Virginia with her husband, Matt, an active-duty Marine and their son.

Courtney Lynch:  is a leader, wife, mother, lawyer and friend.
