Send us Fan MailYou are taking a shower, wash yourself down there and notice a lump so you go to your doctor. The doctor isn't concerned but decides to send you for some tests. Next thing you realize, at 32, you have testicular cancer and are now in a battle for your life.Chris Ho has battled testicular cancer not once, but twice. In this episode, we talk about the importance of permission, sharing, healing, and community.We know that not everyone wants to hear our stories. And to us, that's something we cannot control. But, when someone invites us to share, Chris's take is to start small, be honest, and allow others to get curious.Chris Ho - BioChris Ho is a certified leadership coach and consultant with FranklinCovey along with his own practice at ConsciousStudio.ca focused on leadership, talent and culture development. Motivated by his 15 + years of leadership experience combined with his personal health challenges, Chris’s mission is to help inspire, connect and support people within organizations to achieve the results they are looking for. Chris's personal experiences as a 2-time testicular cancer survivor and past caregiver to his late father have shown him that perspective is everything, especially when it comes to realizing your potential while making the most of today. Within his community, Chris proudly volunteers with the BC Cancer Agency and Foundation whose goal is to improve cancer experience between patients, caregivers and care workers. Chris is also passionate about volunteering with NextGenMen, an organization focused on helping men have healthy conversations about masculinity and Movember and its awareness for men's mental and physical health. Chris can be found living in the moment with his wife Maggie, their two boys Caden and Liam and their fur babies Sam and Zoe in the River District in Vancouver BC.Show Themes:Embracing Vulnerability and Openness The Power of Support and Compassion Living in the Moment and Self-Care Encouragement for Sharing and Overcoming Challenges Contact Links:Website - The Conscious StudioLinkedIn - Chris HoResources:Next Gen MenBC Cancer FoundationTim's InfoInvisible condition - WebsiteLinkedInSupport the showThanks for listening, I appreciate you!  Support the Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/timreitsmaWebsite: invisiblecondition.comSubscribe: invisiblecondition.com/subscribeSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kDTQ9eTFpWFDID9vsXFxWApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-invisible-condition-podcast/id1703432562Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/invisible_condition/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Invisible_Condition
