VCCC Alliance Leadership Academy Series
15 September 2026
Drawing on her lived experience of cancer, Lisa Briggs will explore how personal identity, influence and purpose intersect in shaping leadership and impact.
This session invites participants to reflect on how lived experience can inform authentic leadership, influence the way we engage with others, and create meaningful impact in our communities.
