This is an inspirational podcast interview full of learning, insight and wisdom.

Jill is candid and engaging in her account.

She tells us about her experiences of growing up, with a whole host of health issues; that were misunderstood and therefore misdiagnosed.

Consequently, this made life harder for her than it needed to be. She encountered additional challenges that were the direct result of a lack of informed decision-making.

She shares with us what has driven her to take control of her health; and as a result, how she’s been able to change her life for the better.

Being a CEO can be a Lonely Path to Tread

With increased awareness comes the opportunity to change things for the better. For instance, to grow yourself (personally and professionally); and to develop the business. For Jill to discover that her health problems have a name; has enabled her to look at her physical challenges through a different lens. Moreover, she advocates the importance of “finding good people” to support you.

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate. I have good friends. I have good people around me from the Vistage group and the Coaching that we’ve done; to other experts around my physical health.”

Jill talks about “having the tenacity to follow things through”. Even with a diagnosis, she is still driving much of her own self-care. As a result of her efforts, she is getting the measure of this condition AND finding a better work / life balance. A reminder to us all to take personal responsibility for the quality of our lives and subsequent outcomes.
