TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Lisa Lisson, President of FedEx Express Canada, has released her first book Resilience: Navigating Life, Loss, and the Road to Success today across North America. Lisson is a powerful and inspirational advocate for women's advancement, and her story of breaking through the glass ceiling to become one of Canada's top business leaders is now available for purchase.
