Lemonade Maker of Leaders – Justin Cohen, REQ

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Despite their title, they all have one thing in common – they are highly effective in achieving positive change. In a year like no other, this leader helped their team and company make lemonade from lemons. They led with authenticity and empathy.

They were a role model, a shoulder to lean on, influenced strategy and drove innovation in a time when everyone needed to think differently.
