Empowering Christian Women in Leadership: A Conversation with Peggy Bodde
Welcome back to the *Entrusted to Lead* podcast! In today's episode, I am joined by my dear friend and mentor, Peggy Bodde, the founder of Sacred Work and author of the newly released book *Sacred Work: A Christian Woman's Guide to Leadership in the Marketplace*. Peggy brings her wealth of experience in corporate leadership to the table as we dive into some of the most pressing topics facing Christian women in the workplace today.

- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): How Christian leaders can approach DEI in the workplace with a heart of compassion and a commitment to justice. Peggy and I explore navigating these complex conversations with grace and intention, emphasizing the importance of creating a more equitable work environment.
