In this candid and inspiring conversation, Amy Gerner, Operations Director at CVS Health Women’s Health & Genomics, shares how one friend’s experience with breast cancer sparked meaningful change in health care and shaped her perspective on leadership. Drawing on more than 20 years in health care and her life as a working mom raising three young daughters, Amy explores why great leadership isn’t about achieving perfect balance, but about bringing your experiences, relationships and values into how you lead. Come away inspired to think differently about the influence you have, the people you bring alongside you and the impact you can create in both your work and your life.
