Taste testing cookies as a career is a dream job for most of us. For Beth Shelton, this is her reality. As Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa, tasting cookies is just another day in the office. Listen to the episode to find out more about what exactly that entails. That’s only a very small part of her job however. Shelton spends her days leading the charge setting up women for success.
Working for Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa, she strives to teach young girls “courage, confidence, leadership, character, and entrepreneurship.” This goes much deeper than just cookie taste testing. According to Shelton, there is clear data that proves girls who participated in Girls Scouts during their youth go on to better careers and are paid more than those who did not.
