Empowering Leadership: Insights and Challenges

"Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence." – Sheryl Sandberg

We are ending this season with the incomparable Heather Zempel for a life-enhancing discussion on leadership and women. Heather’s brilliant insights can be applied at any stage of life’s journey—whether you are a woman or a man. Heather has paved the way for many women like myself and has become a mentor. 

Heather Zempel serves as the Executive Director of the Dream Collective and a teaching pastor at National Community Church (NCC) in Washington, DC. For twenty years, Heather led discipleship strategies and leadership development environments at NCC, and she now leverages those passions to serve the Dream Collective, a network of churches, businesses, and artists seeking revival in the church, reformation in the Kingdom, and renaissance in culture. With a background in biological engineering and experience as a policy advisor in the United States Senate, she brings a unique perspective to ministry, leadership, and discipleship. She is the author of several books, including her most recent titles, Amazed and Confused and Big Change, Small Groups. She loves football, BBQ, and having adventures with her husband Ryan and their fun-loving daughter, Sawyer Elizabeth.
