🎙️ Episode 26 : "Stepping Up to Lead: A Life of Business, Public & Community Service" of 100 Rural Women & Their Stories live!
This week, we're featuring Kathy Tunheim. She shares her journey growing up in small towns across Minnesota to becoming a CEO of her company, Tunheim, for more than 36 years.
Throughout the episode, Kathy reflects on the lessons she learned from the influential women in her life, the importance of staying engaged in your community, and the role individuals can play in strengthening rural communities — touching on public education, healthcare, collaboration between communities, and creative ways to keep communities vibrant and connected.
In addition, Kathy shares thoughtful advice for women at every stage of life, including embracing possibilities, staying open to change, trusting your own agency, and remembering that there's no single formula for building a meaningful life and career.
