  Olabisi’s capstone group project was to identify a leader in a for-profit and nonprofit organization in the region and interview them about their career journey and what leadership means to them. The leaders showed how they transfer skills the EBL cohort learned through the program into their work styles. As their for-profit leader, Olabisi’s group chose a corporate governance and compliance executive at a Fortune 100 company who shared his insight on how leadership programs help create more well-rounded leaders focused not only on corporate stewardship, but on community as well. For their nonprofit leader, Olabisi’s group chose a leader at Envision Charlotte. The group focused on Envision Charlotte’s latest project, Innovation Barn, which is a joint initiative with the city of Charlotte to transition the city to a circular economy. The model is based on reusing and regenerating materials or products to continue production in a sustainable way.
