Lessons from Leaders: Featured Guest Giselle Carino, CEO of International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region

I am excited to bring this episode to you this week. This episode was actually recorded right at the 1-year mark of the pandemic, making the candor and honesty that Giselle Carino brings, fitting. Giselle Carino is the CEO of the International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region (IPPFWHR), which on June 3, 2020 launched a new feminist alliance through the combination of the work with the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) and the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC). I appreciate so much about Giselle, namely her innovation and authenticity. I asked specifically for Giselle to share about her creative leadership take and I can’t wait for you to listen to what types of changes they made, to fulfill their mission. “Things are very hard in this field, and yet we have to find ways to do the work. In the past, we have traveled through mountains and rivers to get contraception to women, and this time it was the pandemic.”So how did they meet their mission while being shut down due to the crisis? Listen in, get inspired, reroute your thinking, and join Giselle in honoring and embracing change, improvisation and flexibility. https://youtu.be/fj7RPkbTerQ
