Retired Colonel Jill Morgenthaler is a woman of many firsts. She was one of the first women to enter ROTC and train as an equal with men. She was the first woman battalion commander in the 88th Regional Support Command; she was the first woman brigade commander in the 84th Division; and she was the first woman Homeland Security Advisor for the State of Illinois! The Colonel handled disaster recovery during the San Francisco earthquake, worked as a peacekeeper in Bosnia, and sheltered Kosovar refugees. For her leadership performance in Iraq in 2004, she received the Bronze Star. Upon retirement, the Army awarded her the Legion of Merit.
Jill is a motivational speaker, thrilling audiences with her presentations, including her 2013 TEDx Talk, “Fake it til you make it”. McGraw-Hill published her book: The Courage to Take Command: Leadership Lessons From a Military Trailblazer in November 2014.
About the book:
In The Courage to Take Command, Col. Morgenthaler provides invaluable leadership lessons drawn from her three decades of military service - strategies and tactics needed for leadership vision, to inspire a team, and to successfully execute a leadership mission - even when the odds may seem overwhelming!
