Katy Anthes: Bridging Divides

This week, Katie Kramer welcomes Katy Anthes, a respected education leader who has spent decades shaping Colorado’s K-12 sector. Known for her collaborative approach and steady presence during times of challenge, Katy reflects on the early influences that drew her to public service and education, as well as her deep connection to Colorado. She discusses her current work leading the Forward Initiative at the Public Education & Business Coalition, where she’s focused on equipping educators with practical skills in conflict resolution and bridge-building — tools that are increasingly vital in today’s polarized climate. Her story is a testament to the power of listening, curiosity, and shared purpose in building stronger communities.Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Pandora or wherever you get podcasts!Colorado Leadership Stories is a podcast presented by Boettcher FoundationFollow us on Instagram, LinkedIn and FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
