The work has been so meaningful that she also opened Revabilities™ Educational Leadership Training Center, supporting early childhood leaders to deliver customized purpose-driven, profitable programs, without burning themselves and their teams out in the process.Dr. Shira Leibowitz, like many of you, had a unique path getting into education, but once she did, she went full-steam ahead!
