Episode 29: Dr. Kaye Monk Morgan [KLC President & CEO]

Happy Women's History Month!

Episode 29 of the STEMusic Podcast Features Chief Executive Officer of the Kansas Leadership Center Dr. Kaye Monk Morgan. This is an episode I've been dreaming of for about 5 to 7 years now. Dr. Monk Morgan is a huge mentor in my life and in this episode you will see why. Dr. Monk Morgan shares so much wisdom and knowledge throughout our conversation as she journeys through how she got into STEM to becoming the CEO of a nonprofit organization. She pulls the curtain back on the process that is required for greatness and shares vulnerable truths about what it takes to reach success. Dr. Monk Morgan also shares how the Kansas Leadership Center is making a difference in the lives of Kansans and the world at large. I also share a powerful story on how the Kansas Leadership Center changed my life! We conclude her episode talking about two songs she enjoys, underscoring how things are earned and not just given, and grooving to the STEMusic Jingle I made up based on the word "Kinetic Energy" that she gave me.
