“Ever wonder what it takes to become—and succeed as—an Executive Director in Cooperative Extension?
Fresh from an energizing Executive Leadership Conference, I’m struck by the fascinating paths our leaders have paved. That’s why I’m excited to spotlight our ‘Growing to Executive Director’ episode this month!
Join Bernie Wiesen and Beth Claypoole as they pull back the curtain on their journeys from Extension’s front lines to Executive Director and beyond. In this candid conversation, they share the moments that shaped them, the power of active listening, and how they’ve learned to lead with both strategy and compassion.
The Sowing Seeds, Growing Leaders Podcast feels less like a recording and more like hitching a ride with mentors who’ve been there. Through authentic, engaging conversations, our guests share stories that will resonate whether you’re a seasoned Extension professional, just starting your journey, or simply passionate about community leadership.
