Effective Global Advocacy with Carlisha Bradley

Shift Out Loud with Tracy Spears

When you begin to think and play bigger, it can transform not only your own life, but the lives of those around you — your family, your team, your community, and even beyond.

As the founder of the transformative global nonprofit Women Empowering Nations (WEN), Carlisha Bradley is playing bigger and making a difference on a global stage. She’s served as a trusted advisor to aid organizations, non­profits, schools, leaders, foreign governments, and diplomats around the world, and has learned how to effect powerful change for the women and girls that she serves.

In this conversation, we talk about the incredible impact of Carlisha’s international work, her inspiring background in public education, and why I would love for her to run for office someday!

Listen now to discover:

• How struggling with her identity suppressed Carlisha’s voice — and the influential events that helped her find her identity and purpose
• How to advocate effectively so that you can achieve your desired results
• How to best support WEN as they empower girls around the world
