Most Powerful Women in Canada

[LickingGravity]

.


Yael Cohen, Founder of F**K Cancer



She was listed as one of the top 100 most powerful women in Canada by the National Post and by the Globe & Mail as one of the people transforming philantrophy. She has been dubbed by Fast Company as one of theMost Creative People in business in 2012. Cohen has participated in Next Generation Leadership discussions at the White House, the Clinton Global Initiative and the UN Nexus conference.

Another take on the Cancer issues which makes a lot of sense. I don't want to "cheapen" the post but I'm sure you hounds have noticed that she is smokin' hot as well.

A very good post. Didn't know that 90 % of cancer can be curable if caught on time.

I like her direct approach to Cancer. Hope it will save many lives.

It may be treatable but many cancers are very difficult to catch at stage 1, we need better screening and even then they are hard to detect. Yeah she is hot.

 

[Diplomat]

Is she married?

All she needs now is to be in the January Playboy cover to draw more attention to the cause :biggrin2:

 

[hobnew]

She's motivated and hot...

Thus powerful.

She may be "hot" but let's not trivialize this woman by just focussing on her looks.

Ms Cohen is exceptionally bright, and that is the most important thing.

You don't get to be a TEDx speaker (or featured at other thinktank events as Bosco notes above) without that qualification.

Beyond being creative and motivated, Ms Cohen is an action person, someone who gets things done. And her organization, FUCK CANCER, is really a very simple marketing campaign to alert people to be proactive, rather than waiting too late.

"Early stage detection: THAT'S OUR FUCKING CURE!"

Brilliant message. Brilliant call to action.

Brilliant lady.

 

[RAWD]

I don't know if I can independently conclude that she's bright, but she's certainly well spoken and motivated. She's very intriguing.
