Dr. Sue Head, VP for Cultural Activities & Institutional Advancement and Dean of Character Education at College of the Ozarks, joins The Real Deal Conversations with host Megan Deal for a candid talk on what it really means to lead as a woman.
In this first part of their conversation, Sue and Megan dive into the realities of imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the pressure women feel to say yes to everything. With humor and honesty (including a few hilarious stories involving Newt Gingrich and a college gate mishap), Sue shares wisdom about authenticity, confidence, and learning to let go of unrealistic expectations. Together, they remind us that leadership starts with self-awareness, that it’s okay to not have it all together, and that the most important table you’ll ever lead from is the one at home.
