#BoldCareLeader #4MindsetShifts #5BreakthroughCarePillars
Lori La Bey talks with Mark Wilson, who wrote a combo memoir & how-to playbook on his journey with his mom. Mark is a passionate advocate for the disease, leading Alzheimer’s support groups, advocating in DC and Sacramento, and leading various fundraising and patient rights activities.
Mark’s mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He decided to leave his career of 22+ years as a Leadership & Human Resources Executive at Taco Bell to care for his Mom full-time at home. Mark discovered that his love and passion for his mom, his passion to learn, and his executive career leading leadership development, Talent, and training (including training on Breakthrough Thinking), helped him lead care to achieving breakthrough results for his mom, where she lived 3 times longer and happier than anyone expected.
