Do you already have leadership skills without realizing it?

In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with leadership strategist Kathy Holt to discuss why leadership isn't limited to executives or CEOs. Women lead every single day—organizing families, solving problems, managing relationships, and guiding others—but many never recognize these abilities as true leadership strengths.

Kathy shares how self-awareness, understanding your strengths, and learning when to say "yes" or "no" can dramatically change your confidence, influence, and purpose.

She also shares the incredible story of how saying yes to one opportunity led her to empower women around the world through international leadership programs.

Whether you're leading your family, your business, your community, or simply trying to discover your next chapter, this conversation will help you recognize the leader that's already inside you.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why women already possess valuable leadership skills

• How self-reflection builds stronger leaders

• The importance of knowing your strengths and values

• When to say no—and when saying yes changes your life

• How everyday responsibilities translate into leadership abilities

• Practical ways to discover your purpose

If you've ever questioned your leadership ability, this episode will encourage you to see yourself through a completely different lens.
