✨ It was an honor to welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant to the stage for Opening Session at .

His insights were powerful, relevant and deeply inspiring, and a blueprint for how to lead in a world that won’t stop changing.

We took away a few lessons we can put to work immediately:

➡️ Build a challenge network, not just a support system. Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

➡️ Create psychological safety by welcoming problems, not only solutions.

➡️ Take the work seriously, not your ego: turn critics into coaches by asking for advice instead of feedback.

➡️ Communicate your vision clearly, because your team can’t be expected to hear the tune playing in your head.

And his closing message: The faster we’re willing to admit we might be wrong, the faster we can get it right.

Healthcare needs that mindset now, and we are inspired by leaders willing to take that risk.

Thank you, Adam Grant, for setting the tone for an impactful and transformative week at Congress!
