Joining me today is Cindy Scott.
Cindy has been an exec coach and corporate trainer until a second diagnosis with breast cancer in Feb 2020 when she shut down her business and sought treatment.
Amidst her darkest days of chemo, Cindy created the book she wishes she’d received on diagnosis – called “The Healing Journal”.

On today’s show, Cindy will share:

* Resilience is a choice. You are stronger than you think or believe

About Martina:
I’m 36, Italian, wife and working mum of an active 4 yo boy Leonardo. My native background is Italian but, after more than 7 years spent across Tokyo, Sydney and Singapore I feel like I have many backgrounds. During these years, I had the chance to develop an incredible resilience having to start my career from scratch a new life in 2 different Countries with success. Australia and Japan feel like home as much as Italy now, and so the network I built during these years. As professional, I have about 12 years’ experience in sales and marketing in APJ and Europe Regions (Italy, Singapore, Japan, India, Australia) mostly for Tech Companies such as Microsoft Corporation. I develop data-driven go-to-market strategies for driving revenue growth.
