In episode 34, we have on Maureen Monte. Maureen is a leadership practitioner who was a multi-sport athlete, Engineer of the Year for IBM, and now two-time author of "Destination Unstoppable" and "Win like a Girl." Both stories are dedicated to telling stories of successful male and female teams and what it took for success.
