episode 3: Women Of Influence: Kelley Griesmer of the Women's Fund of Central Ohio
Kelley Griesmer, the CEO of the Women's Fund of Central Ohio, has always been a dreamer.
Griesmer went from wanting to be a journalist for Rolling Stone magazine, to being a trial lawyer for 15 years, to helping kickstart the $200 million nonprofit Peletonia to becoming the face of the largest foundation for women and girls in Columbus.
On this week's episode of the Women of Influence podcast, Griesmer talks the times in her career when that dreamer mentality and "warrior spirit" was met with enthusiasm.
But there were also times when it wasn't fully understood.
We also talk about the good stuff, like wearing a red pantsuit to an interview, taking career risks, the truth behind gender bias and how everyone should get a law degree – even if they never end up practicing law.
