Episode 122: Abortion, Adoption, and Leading a non-profit with Diane Ferraro, CEO of Save the Storks

We have been talking about women in leadership this March because we are launching the Living Wholehearted Group Coaching Sessions for women in leadership this Spring. Whether you are a parent leading the most important organization on the planet (the family) and want to be better equipped to help your children understand the issues surrounding abortion, a leader working in controversial spaces, a female leader growing in your confidence, leading in the non-profit world, or if abortion is part of your personal story, this podcast has something for you.   Our guest in episode 122 is Diane Ferraro, CEO of a unique pro-life non-profit, Save The Storks.   Diane has been a key member of the executive and leadership teams at Save the Storks since 2018. Before joining Save the Storks, she served in various critical roles at large corporations, including overseeing marketing and communication efforts at a national retail chain based in Southern California.   Diane is a life-long pro-life advocate, largely because of her own experience, being adopted as a baby after her mother chose life for her.   Listen in as Diane shares her story and how her compassion for those facing unplanned pregnancies has expanded. She describes how this compassion has created a deeper longing for the Church to come alongside moms who choose life for their unborn child. Diane shares what she has learned as a leader in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors and what she sees as one of the greatest challenges for female leaders in today’s norms.   Want to join our virtual group coaching sessions each month for female leaders?
