Women Leaders Podcast, Episode 16: Lisa Borders

Presented by:



In our very first live episode, recorded at our National Convention in Dallas on October 10, Patti sits down with Lisa Borders, president of the WNBA. In this candid interview, Lisa discusses how growing up in Atlanta in the 1960s—the “cradle of the civil rights movement”—affected her career path and leadership style; how being the first person of color to be a cheerleader at her high school laid a template for what would be her life’s work; and how she navigated her way through the public, private, and political sectors, including at Coca-Cola and the WNBA. We know you’ll be inspired by Lisa’s story, her advice, and her words of wisdom. Remember, she says, “failure is not fatal; it's feedback.”
