sW4H 2 | Dee Ann Turner Stewarding Talent
Featured Guests: Dee Ann Turner
Ministry/Workplace: Chick-fil-A; DeeAnnTurner.com
Dee Ann Turner, Vice President of Talent for Chick-fil-A, knows that to succeed in today's marketplace, you have to be driven. But instead of driving their teams to success, many companies are simply driving their teams into the ground. Join hosts Martha Brangenberg & Catherine Gates as they talk with Dee Ann about how leaders of faith can honor their Christian values, create a culture of care, AND remain competitive.

Today's Marketplace is ridiculously competitive, wrought with uncertainty, and steeped in pressure. Culture would have us believe that success comes from being driven and driving our teams hard. The trouble is, too many companies are driving their teams … right into the ground. How can people of faith lead well and honor their Christian values while also remaining competitive?
If you ask today's guest, the Vice President of Talent for Chick-fil-A, Dee Ann Turner, she would start by explaining the importance of stewarding your talent well. Under her leadership, Chick-fil-A has enjoyed industry-leading employee engagement scores and become known for selecting the best talent in the hospitality business. Dee Ann is also the author of two best-selling books covering corporate culture and career success. Bet on talent teaches leaders how to find and keep extraordinary talent. And her latest book, Crush Your Career, teaches talent how to be extraordinary. She has also mentored and championed hundreds of people to discover their unique vocational callings and build careers they love!
From the ripe old age of seven, Dee Ann planned to go into a life of full-time Christian service. Today, we discuss how she fulfilled that commitment in the Marketplace through helping other people find their calling and how working under Truett Cathy taught her about creating a positive workplace culture and being a good steward of resources AND people.
Resources for you from today's show:
The most life-changing habit that has impacted Dee Ann's leadership is starting her day with at least a full hour of Bible reading, prayer, and exercise. In the morning, she turns to resources, including her Bible, the First Five app from Proverbs 31 Ministries, the YouVersion Bible app, as well as Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner. Dee Ann will also be speaking at the Boldly Conference on Friday, October 8, 2021, on the topic of "Creating a Culture of Care." You can register using the sheWorks4Him affiliate link.

sw4H -1 | Ellie Nieves: Leadership strategies for women
Featured Guests: Ellie Nieves
Ministry/Workplace: Leadership Strategies for Women, LLC
Join Catherine Gates & Martha Brangenberg as they interview Ellie Nieves – an attorney and the Vice President of a Fortune 250 company – on bouncing back from life's unexpected curveballs. Through setbacks, adversity, challenges and health issues, Ellie has learned the importance of relying on faith in every aspect of life, including work! Her mission is to help aspiring Christian women leaders pave the way to success in their careers and spiritual lives.

We can plan our careers; we can work hard and hustle. But we can't anticipate every adversity, challenge, or disruption. Ellie Nieves is no stranger to life's curveballs, but with faith, she has come through it all with grace! Join Catherine Gates, Martha Brangenberg, and special guest Ellie Nieves as we discuss work-life balance, being a Christian woman in the corporate world, and developing personal resiliency through all of life's seasons!
Ellie Nieves has been laser-focused on achieving her goals from the beginning. She launched a successful career as a lawyer in New York City politics and then became vice president for a Fortune 250 company. Ellie didn't think she had time for all that "Christian stuff" when she first started out. However, when she had reached the pinnacle of her career, something was still missing. That's when God brought her to her knees – a defining moment that put everything in life – including her career – into context.
Tune in to hear more about how Ellie came to Christ through a business connection, how she balances her faith with being a wife, mother, attorney, diversity, equity and inclusion consultant, speaker, podcast host, and corporate VP. Hint, it all starts with four simple things: prayer, attitude, discipleship, and Scripture!
Resources for you from today's show:
Ellie recently launched a community for Christian women in the marketplace on Facebook and has virtual bible studies and coffee breaks available online at ChristianCareerWomen.com! Ellie also started Leadership Strategies for Women at EllieNieves.com to work with organizations that want to help emerging women leaders become effective managers in the workplace.
