Regular contributor Laurel Gillespie recently raised money to help fight cancer by posting a sexy photo of herself taken the night before she lost her breasts to cancer.The Canadian business leader (not-for-profit) talks with Amy and Kimothy about showing strength by recognizing when we can't be strong...and how to learn from that by helping others. We also talk about why only 5% of CEOs of major companies are women in Canada, and what we can learn from that statistic. The focus on the positive, and letting go of people who don't come on your journey, means learning from how WE were treated to help inspire the next generation of leaders.
