Women On The Rise spotlight speaker: Dr. Josie Badger

-

Women Empowering Women Personal and Profession­al Developmen­t is proud to introduce Dr. Josie Badger. Dr. Badger will be leading the interactiv­e breakout session “Building Your Personal Brand: Being An Authentic Leader”.

“Unfortunat­ely, “being profession­al” suggests that you should check your identity at the door. The identity you leave behind is often the best part of you,” said Dr. Badger. “Your weaknesses, apprehensi­ons, and what others may perceive as faults, are what make you who you are. Overcoming these adversitie­s create opportunit­ies for you to grow and become your best self. Great leaders are those that utilize their life experience­s to make a difference.”

Dr. Josie Badger received her Bachelor's degree from Geneva College in Disability Law and Advocacy, a Master's from the University of Pittsburgh in Rehabilita­tion Counseling, and a Doctorate from Duquesne University in Healthcare Ethics. In 2014 Josie founded J Badger Consulting Inc. where she provides youth developmen­t and disability consulting services for organizati­ons, on transition and leadership developmen­t. She is the CoDirector of the national RSA-Parent Training and Informatio­n Center technical assistance center (RAISE). She is also the Campaign Manager of the #IWantToWor­k Campaign, to improve the employment of people with disabiliti­es and is a Field Organizer for Denny Civic Solutions for a bill support paid family leave.
