Conversation with Dr. Laurie LaPat-Polasko

She has worked with Jacques Cousteau, had a microbe named after her, and survived a devastating motorcycle accident and a shark bite.  Her message for leaders is that they need to have H.O.P.E.  In this edition of Scottsdale Frame of Mind, Laurie LaPat-Palasko, Vice President and National Director of Remediation for Matrix New World Engineering, tells tales of her life and near-death misses with lessons of leadership for all aspiring leaders including the idea that for all the successes, people don’t realize how many failures there were too.  She is a microbiologist, environmentalist, scientist, and class 32  Scottsdale Leadership graduate who is helping to solve environmental issues for our planet and has a few ideas about how we can individually help from our homes.
