Winning Others Over.

For some, winning others over is as natural as putting one foot in front of the other. For others, it's a challenge. And for still others, they'd rather leave that role to someone else.

Today we have a conversation with Barbara Fillion, a local and conference leader in the United Methodist Church, an advocate for women in politics, and a superstar at leveraging her number one talent theme, WOO (Winning Others Over).
