Manage episode 409942706 series 3421211
Dr. Elaine Swafford blooms where she’s planted. Throughout her life and career, opportunities have been presented and she seized them each time.
In this episode, Elaine shares with us her path from Teacher at Soddy Daisy High School to CEO of CGLA and every stop in between. She also tells us the story of her “Michael Jordan” moment, how 4-H speeches trained her to be an extrovert, and how she turned CGLA around within 9 months after it received an ultimatum.
Dr. Elaine Swafford is the CEO of Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy (CGLA), the first all-girls public charter STEM school in Tennessee. You can connect with her on LinkedIn here. You can also watch her OATS series on YouTube here.
