Lesley Southwick-Trask
As the CEO of the blended organization, she was able to experience first-hand the real meaning of leadership – the roll up the sleeves kind - where the consequences of my husband’s and my decision making would produce direct success or failure.
She was terribly fortunate to have been given this time in history to be a leader. Such experience allowed her to be recognized as one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada in the categories of Entrepreneur and Trailblazer (lifetime recognition). Her role as the CEO of RDI /Proactive Group brought her the recognition as one of the Top 50 CEO’s in Atlantic Canada, and one of the Top 100 Women Business Owners in Canada. Her passion for pushing the envelope with change agendas was acknowledged by becoming one of the Top 25 Faces in Halifax and one of the Fourteen Thinkers to watch for by Progress Magazine.
