Run it like a girl with Lesley Gunn, head of marketing for Connor, Clark and Lunn Financial Group Ltd.
Run it Like a Girl
02/24/22 • 26 min
I had the great pleasure of working with Lesley Gunn for several years at a professional services firm in Toronto. I learned a lot from Lesley about leadership, advocating for my own career and to not be afraid of failure.
When Lesley first started her career like so many others she found herself in a job that she didn't find fulfilling. However, it ultimately helped her understand where she didn't want to focus her career. After some interesting job experience with a newspaper in London, England, Lesley returned to Canada and began working in the staffing business where she learned how to run a multi-million dollar business.
Lesley now works in financial services, as the Head of Marketing for Connor, Clark and Lunn Financial Group Ltd. in Toronto.
On this episode Lesley tells us communication and persistence are key when an organization is going through a period of transition and change. She talks about having a common vision and how to bring the best out of each individual.

Run it like a girl with Erica Oliver, Combat Engineer, Department of National Defence
Run it Like a Girl
11/11/19 • 33 min
Please note: In the episode we talk about Erica being the first woman from the ranks to become a combat diver. Erica was unaware at the time that another woman (Misty Shearer) received her combat diver coin first. Erica and Misty connected and it was a good news story. We also featured Misty on our podcast! Be sure to check her out.
Erica Oliver has been in the Canadian forces for over 20 years and tells us that it wasn’t she who chose the military, but rather the military that chose her. Erica joined the regular forces with the sole goal of becoming a combat diver, which took her six years to accomplish....six years, she says, of being told that there was no way she could do it.
Erica talks about her 4 international deployments including two to Afghanistan, and says the military does an excellent job of preparing its troops for the physical demands of a war zone. She says the mental demands, however, are almost impossible to prepare for.
