#044 - What You See Is Not The Whole Story

In This Episode

 

Emily Lyons opens up to us about her far from a normal childhood and how at 23 she, a high school dropout, started her own business with no money and no connections.  Ten years later she leads one of the leading staffing agencies in North America employing over 10,000 people.

 

You’ll connect to her stories around loss, grief, and sexual harassment from someone who should have protected her.  

 

Her story is an inspiration to those struggling to fit in and find their place in the world.

 

During our conversation, Ms. Emily discusses her upcoming book - MORE.  She openly shares excerpts from the book and teaches us how to hone our mindset, build confidence and overcome imposter syndrome.

 

Emily and I get personal as she tells about the impact cystic fibrosis had and still has on her and her family.  “We aren’t responsible for the trauma that happens to us, but we are responsible for the healing.”
