Description: Faced with long odds, how do you keep your team motivated and moving forward? As a leader, Alexis McGill Johnson is focused on building hope. As the president of Planned Parenthood, Johnson is preparing for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The lessons she offers can be focused as a refusal to shy away from disappointments – and impossible dreams.
