Episode 52. Overcoming Cancer To Build A Successful Company With 100% Underdogs – Dr Gil Winch

Just imagine being diagnosed with cancer at 40 and you’re told it’s incurable. This is the dire situation that Dr Gil Winch faced over 20 years ago. Once he recovered from the shock, he set out to overcome his illness by strengthening his body, strengthening his mind and finding a new life mission. This eventually led to him founding Call Yachol, an outsourcing call center, which is a 100% underdog company composed mainly of people with disabilities and is a proving ground for his hiring and workforce-building model.
Gil has served for 30+ years as an organizational consultant for many large companies and is an in-demand keynote speaker. His work creating Call Yachol has received international attention and led to an invitation to speak at conferences alongside Bill Clinton and other influential leaders.
Gil is the author of Winning with Underdogs, which is an inspiring read and a practical step-by-step guide, using the lessons from his business, to help build a more just society, while benefitting your business―and everyone in it!
Gil and I had a great conversation and talked about the following:
Moving from clinical to organisational psychology as it was more aligned with his personality,
How he started his mission to assist people with disabilities back into work,
Why helping people and giving is so transformative,
The strategies that he used to take back control and overcome his illness,
The power of reframing and how it helps to overcome fear,
How his company reduces the stress and anxiety of the interview process,
Ways of developing confidence,
Managing difficult situations at work,
Job search strategies, and
Creating a caring environment and managing your team with kindness.
