About the guest – Lee Silverstein - his story has two parts; one as a Career Management professional and the other as a person who has been living with stage 4 cancer for over 12 years. As a Career Management professional, I serve as a career coach and mentor to those in career transition. I have the privilege of working with many talented and successful individuals, providing placement services to individual contributors, managers and senior executives. In my role as a Career Management Consultant, it is my responsibility to guide & inspire candidates; teaching them the most up-to-date job search strategies while instilling in them the confidence to leverage these skills to land in their next career. As a Certified Professional Resume Writer, published LinkedIn author and experienced trainer and public speaker, I facilitate career workshops, career webinars and executive career coaching. The other part of my story is that of someone who has been living with stage 4 cancer for over 12 years. As such, I've learned to appreciate even the smallest gifts that life gives us every day. I've also learned that I'm not a statistic and that living with this dreadful disease for so many years has afforded me the privilege, and responsibility, to inspire, inform and advocate for the millions of people living with, or caring for someone, with cancer. In my podcast, WE Have Cancer - https://wehavecancershow.com - I've interviewed hundreds of patients, caregivers and medical professionals as a way to provide information, inspiration and hope to those touched by cancer.
