29. Leading across generations, childlike trust, and seeing the ability all around you (Guest: Laura Hope Whitaker, CEO of Extra Special People)
In this episode, we discuss leading across generational lines, childlike trust, and seeing the ability all around you with Laura Hope Whitaker. Laura serves as the CEO of Extra Special People, an organization she became involved with as a freshman at the University of Georgia. While she has led the team at ESP for many years, she was only 19 when she started leading the organization. We’ll hear more about how that unexpectedly happened and what she learned as a young leader and along the way as she has grown from being the only team member to now 30 people and millions of dollars in fundraising for an underserved community of all abilities.
