What happens when a cancer diagnosis collides with meetings, deadlines, leadership responsibilities, and a career that cannot simply be put on pause? How should employees advocate for what they need, and how can employers respond without taking away someone’s voice or agency?
Join Divya Parekh for an important conversation with Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, a board-certified medical oncologist who spent 25 years treating women with breast and gynecologic cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center before her own health challenges reshaped how she viewed the patient experience.
Together, Divya and Tiffany explore what it means to navigate cancer while working, from speaking up in the exam room to communicating needs in the workplace. They discuss how professionals can remain active participants in their care, what leaders should understand when an employee is facing cancer, and why support requires more than good intentions.
Their conversation also brings Tiffany’s Prepare, Participate, Partner approach into a broader question: How do we help people stay seen, heard, and respected when life changes but work keeps moving?
What if the relationships you build before you need anything are the ones that ultimately grow your business? And why do some opportunities emerge from trust and generosity long before there is ever a transaction?
