An inspiring book for readers 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.
