About Joshua Cole

"As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think." — Toni Morrison, Novelist
 
When I'm writing fiction, I've sold everything from horror stories to children's adventure novels. In my professional life, I've written everything from humor articles to marketing copy – and that's just the writing! When I'm not behind the keyboard, I've led both small teams and huge production crews, and I'm excited to bring that experience and enthusiasm to Progressive Women's Leadership. Both writing and leadership leverage imagination to achieve a new and better purpose, and I can't imagine a better purpose than this.
