In this episode of Ctrl+Alt+Delete with Lisa Duerre™ - Lisa gets personal as she discusses her journey of discovering that she’s been living with a disease known as Lipedema, a misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition affecting as many as 1 in 11 women. Her guests, Dr. Matthew Carmody, & Catherine Seo, Ph.D., and their example of a new collaborative approach to Lipedema research are, in part, the reason Lisa was able to effectively engage her own doctor to explore the possibility of a Lipedema diagnosis, maintain her mobility and reclaim her voice as she manages the symptoms that come from living with this disease. Their work & research have led the way in redefining the doctor/patient relationship when it comes to vulnerability in leadership, appreciative inquiry, self-advocacy & unlocking the collective wisdom within a complex system. This rich discussion offers tons of practical tools to manage the great unknown of the BANI World and lands on one universal truth in both healthcare & tech: innovation happens when leaders don’t have all the answers...
