Lisa Gordon
Lisa was born into an industrial city and a household of smokers and suffered recurrent pneumonia and bronchitis in her early life. She grew up with a scary feeling that she would die from poor lung health. She could not get relief except by living in an allergen-free bubble until asthma was finally diagnosed and treated in her 40s. Now in her 60s, she is relieved to have her symptoms under control without having to live in a bubble.
When her asthma was not in control, it created barriers in her personal and professional life, especially when traveling and speaking. Lisa retired young, partly for those reasons, and now sets her own pace, volunteering for several non-profit groups. Her professional and volunteer focus has been related to the health of the planet, and she is keen to learn more about respiratory health. The skills she offers to CPC include project management, public communication, and group facilitation.
