Ep. 9 | Leading With Love: How One Leap of Faith Became a Legacy

In this inspiring episode of Leading Locally, we sit down with Rene Waldrop — Executive Director of Our House, former attorney, teacher, community advocate, and a leader fueled by purpose.Rene shares her journey from a 20-year law career to following a calling she could no longer ignore: serving children and families in Auburn’s public housing communities. What began as a small, heartfelt dream — buying a house next door to public housing and opening the door to neighbors — has grown into a thriving, relationship-centered ministry that now serves dozens of families and partners with countless volunteers.This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about influence, courage, and choosing love in every step.Connect with Leadership Lee CountyInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@leadershipleecounty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.leadershipleecounty.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leadership Experts: Are you an experienced and trained leadership expert?
