An inspiring book for listeners of Sheryl Sandberg and Arlene
Dickinson
Lisa Lisson's life seemed perfect: she had married her high school
sweetheart, applied her marketing degree to a position at FedEx Express
Canada, and risen to become a vice president (and would ultimately
become president) of the company. One night, after putting their four
children to bed, her husband, Patrick, marvelled that their lives seemed
perfectly happy.
Just a few hours later, everything changed.
One moment Lisa was sleeping beside Patrick, and the next, she was
kneeling on the floor beside his unconscious body frantically
administering CPR. Patrick had had a massive heart attack and was in a
coma, and the doctors were blunt: there was no hope. But for the next
two years, Lisa stood by his side and awaited a miracle, while
continuing to balance life as a high-powered executive and mother of
four.
Part leadership guide, part memoir of loss, and part personal
empowerment primer on how to achieve your goals no matter what the
universe throws at you, Resilience is an inspirational story about how
to rise to the top in a man's world, triumph over adversity, lead a
fulfilling life, and live each day with purpose and gratitude.
