On the most recent episode of the Women Leaders Podcast, Patti
Phillips is joined by Julie Ruppert, the Northeast 10 Conference
Commissioner and former Women Leaders Board Member.
After spending over 15 years at the Division l level, Julie chose
Division ll, where in 2008 she became the FIRST female Commissioner
in Dll. She’s had many wins there, including leading the conference
through a hugely successful and impactful identity campaign in
2016.
We talked a lot about that process, as well as how to lead during
the COVID-19 pandemic with strength and solace. She says that
overcommunicating, being solution-oriented, and being adaptable are
KEY to getting through these trying times.
Listen in as Julie shares her experience navigating a career in
athletics with 2 children, and a spouse who is also in the
industry; the importance of embracing excellence and embracing what
you can control; and how to WORK to be engaged, educated, and
well-informed.
Listen in as there is so much to soak up here! I hope you enjoy our
conversation, and remember, we are Women Leaders!
