There are people in the world who see problems and wait for someone else to tackle them. And then there are people who see problems and immediately think “What can I do to solve this?” Sara Litvak is one of those people. Sara’s identity as someone who doesn’t wait around for others to take action was heavily influenced by her late grandmother, Rosa. Rosa immigrated to the US from Russia and spent her entire life advocating for her most vulnerable students. Rosa talked to Sara like an adult from the time she was very young and encouraged her to speak her mind, actively participate in her community and be unapologetic about owning who she is. Sara took this advice to heart and formed an accrediting body, the BHCOE, for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) organizations when she was 27. She’s worked tirelessly over the last 7-years to help grow the BHCOE into an organization that has over 500 organizational members. Learn how Sara has turned her identity as a problem solver into a successful career as the CEO of the BHCOE, how she deals with “haters” and the 1 question she thinks everyone who works at any organization should ask in order to determine if they’re in the right position or not.
