Lead Bold conference in Livermore, CA Sept 6-7 is for all women in leadership no matter what your ministry.  Leadership in ministry is better when we do it together!  Thanks Lead Bold Conference for partnering with Communicator Academy. We love to see women lead bold!

Kathi is joined by the amazing emcee, pastor, writer, Andrea Coli.   Andrea and Kathi discuss women in leadership.   Andrea shares how an intentional invitation to have a “seat at the table” is an important role men can play to open more doors to women in leadership.  Kathi shares the key to mentoring other women in leadership is to learn how to do it, do it, then teach someone how to do it. 

The Lead Bold Conference will be a two-day conference specifically designed for women in leadership.  Keynote speakers, workshops, and intentional networking time will provide a productive time for advancing your leadership. 

Keynote speakers include Tara Beth Leach  and Nancy Ortberg!  With this lineup you will go away refreshed, encouraged, and smarter.   Andrea’s desire with this conference is to make space for women to connect with women in similar roles.  

As Kathi says, a win for one of us is a win for all of us.  Find more information for the Lead Bold Conference here

Meet Our Guest

Andrea Coli

Andrea Coli

Speaker and Pastor

Andrea has been described as “having the ability to transform a room into a fun atmosphere while enriching it with the Truth of God’s word.”  She uses her background in improv comedy and her vast biblical knowledge to inspire others to discover God’s unique call for their lives.  Having worked professionally in business, ministry and comedy she is able to connect with any audience member regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey.  Andrea is enthusiastic, inspirational and relatable.  Whether you are laughing, crying or a bit of both, her sense of humor will capture your attention and then lead you on a journey to the heart of the message.

Andrea is passionate about the church and has ministered to youth, women, couples, leaders and church staff across the country for the last 2 decades.  Having earned her Masters Degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, her scriptural insights are both grounded and enlightening.   In 2003, she moved to Las Vegas and had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the cast of The Second City’s “Scriptless” an all-improvised show on the Vegas Strip.  Her years of improvisation have equipped her to connect with audiences from the moment she steps on stage.  And from that moment on, her listeners are in for a ride that is not easily forgotten as she challenges them to know God and His Truth in life transforming ways.  

Andrea ministers at CrossWinds Church as a Teaching Pastor and part of the Creative Arts Team. She partners with her husband Chris, who is the Senior Pastor.  Chris and Andrea live in the San Francisco Bay Area with their two daughters.
