“Innovation”
– Kai Kight, classical violinist and composer
Kight uses music as a metaphor to inspire individuals and organizations around the world to compose paths of imagination and fulfillment. Inspired by his mother who, when diagnosed with cancer, revealed regrets of not bringing her ideas to the world, Kai is on a mission to spark a global mindset shift in which ingenuity is the norm, not the exception.

“Health Systems as Stewards of Health: Socially Responsible and Strategic Collaboration”
– Mark J. Bittle, DrPH, FACHE, director of the MHA program, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
The demands you face as a health care executive are continually growing. Adopting population health strategies presents challenges to running your own organization, while at the same time you may be asked to partner with others to address the social needs of your community. The initiatives you undertake to enhance community health may require changes in health care delivery. You may also find yourself leading a community health care program. This interactive seminar will help prepare you to lead your organization in its new role as a steward of health, and it will provide the foundation for designing and adapting to a community-oriented health care model.
Objectives:
• How to apply the key principles of a relationship-building model to create sustainable and strategic collaborations with partners outside of the health care system.
• Leadership competencies to move your organization forward as a meaningful steward of health.
• The essential elements of a socially-responsible health care system.
• Ways to develop and unify your organization’s role within a community-based, public health care model using the collective impact framework, which is a process for solving problems through structured collaboration.

“Not the New Normal, But Even Better…”
– Kevin E. O’Connor, CSP, LCPC, LMFT, NCC, O’Connor & Associates, Ltd
Have you found the common saying that we are experiencing the “new normal” just a bit irritating? O’Connor recalls that one friend confined to her home like everyone else said, “Well, duh, yeah! Of course, it is new, it just better not stick around for much longer!” This term has been attributed to the virus, but every parent also knows this can be attributed to the growing child. When her adolescent daughter found her voice one day, the mother felt a certain ‘new normal’ may have begun. Her husband said, “Well we are not in Kansas anymore Toto!” His response and the ‘new normal’ were not found to be very helpful. In this workshop, participants will move beyond the anxiety producing ‘new normal’ to a few more places with more control, independence, and solution-finding . . . to a better place!
Objectives:
• Decide the state one is in as a response to factors out of one’s control.
• Develop a personal plan for practicing the skills that can be used to move forward.
• Analyze one’s personal response in relationship to the leadership one needs in order to better engage a team, a family, even a spouse.
