003: The Generational Impact When Women Don’t Lead with Karolina Gunsser

Karolina Gunsser, a church leader, discusses the generational impact of women not leading authentically in this episode.

Generational Impact When Women Don’t Lead

All our lives, women have been led to believe we need to lead like men, or in place of men. And this has a detrimental effect on our leadership and how we communicate with others. In this episode of the Raise 1000 Voices podcast, we’ll learn about the generational impact when women don’t lead with Karolina Gunsser.

Karolina is a passionate communicator and teacher of the Word. She leads the Redcliffe location of Citipointe Church and her influence and ministry is a blessing to many generations across all sectors of society.

Karolina is a self-proclaimed reluctant leader despite hearing positive attributes from the people around her – a hestitation that comes from how women are portrayed in both ministry and leadership. 

And surprisingly the encouragement to step up and be the leader she is meant to be came from people we least expect – the men surrounding her. 

Tune into this episode to learn more about the paradigm shift that allowed Karolina to rise above the challenges of women’s leadership and raise her voice.
