How to be a (Christian) CEO

Dragons’ Den presenter Deborah Meaden is well known in her position as a CEO, but how can Christian women take on similar positions in a way that centres their faith in how they lead? Girls’ Brigade CEO, Judith Davey-Cole shares what she has learned about doing it well.

Is it easy being a Christian female leader? No of course it isn’t. Being a leader is hard, being a female leader is hard. And being a female Christian leader is hard because trying to do the “right thing” is hard. But putting our Christian values into action and knowing that God is with us helps illuminate the rocky path and guides in our decision-making.

The organisation I work for now - Girls’ Brigade - enables and equips girls and young women to be the leaders of the future – in all spheres of life. We’re brimming with hopeful energy as we seek to encourage girls and young women to seek, serve and follow Christ and live life to the full. Our track record in transforming lives and communities is amazing and what I truly hope is that we can encourage and inspire the leaders of the future.
