I spoke to Vera Milan Gervais on May 22, 2020. We had met at International Women's Day event by Cindy Comeau and I knew Vera needed to be a guest. Her life and passions have taken her many places and it hasn't been all easy. Living authentically and following the nudges has led her to be a writer, a traveller, an entrepreneur and more. I'm grateful she said yes to sharing some insights with us.
Bio
Vera Milan (my-lan) Gervais calls herself a thinker, writer, travel-aholic and disruptor. Others know her as
a mother, a partner, a successful serial entrepreneur, and one of the founders of HealthConnect Inc.
She has been honoured with several awards for her contribution to the healthcare industry as well as
being named a YWCA Woman of Distinction in Business.
Vera’s unconventional career started as a trailblazer in male-dominated careers like Accounting and
Information systems. She abandoned documentation in her mid-20’s to pursue a Communication Arts
degree. Before she turned 30, she led a prominent medical advertising agency.
Over the last couple decades, she and her husband have managed multiple launches, pivots and
programs through HealthConnect, including strategic marketing and health education programs
developed for major packaged goods and prescription products.
Vera’s life goal is to continuously grow. She claims to hold a “Masters in Mistakes” and an interest in working
on a “PhD in Disrupting Bias”.
With that in mind, Vera recently pivoted her energy towards speaking, blogging – and now podcasts – to
talk about the power of words to change lives.
Summary for Together Keynote, March 11, 2020
Wordz We Wear
How would your life change if you weren’t limited by what other people think you can do? What would be
different in your life, your career, your relationships, your health?
The answer to what's holding you back from achieving your dreams may be the words that you use to
describe yourself. In this session you’ll learn how words become “labels” that change the way we feel
about ourselves, and what we think we deserve.
Learn how to identify the words that limit you, and how to change your life with by changing the way you
talk about yourself.
