CEO Battling Cancer Shares Leadership Lessons

CEO Battling Cancer Shares Leadership Lessons

Jennifer Goldsack is the CEO of a company called DiMe.

She was diagnosed with a serious illness called late-stage colon cancer.

This changed how she leads her team.

Before, she worked very hard and never asked others to do more than she did.

But after her diagnosis, she learned to be more open about her needs and to take care of herself.

She started taking 5-minute breaks before and after meetings, which helped her feel better.

She also made sure her team knew when she had to cancel meetings because she wasn't feeling well.

This way, she created a kinder and more understanding work environment.

She is now on the path to recovery and regaining her strength.
