Every event is an opportunity for me to craft a unique presentation and make it as helpful and useful as possible for each audience.

We received some really positive feedback from the event participants – one person told us your talk was the best they had heard on the whole program which was fantastic to hear! As I’m sure you could tell from the active Q&A discussion, the audience was very engaged in the stories you told and was keen to learn from your experience driving innovation at HHS. I also think the way that you generalized your learnings made the content easy to translate from the gov/healthcare space to [other sectors], which worked particularly well for the audience.
If you would like to invite me to speak at your event, please contact the Bright Sight Group.

June 14, 2018, in Detroit, MI: I spoke at an event hosted by Tech Town Detroit that focused on cross-sector collaboration, asking:
- How do we keep our intake valves open to new ideas and fresh thinking?
- What can we learn by bending conventional rules until they break or by studying the artists and hackers who invariably signal the future?
- Where can we find unexpected partners?
After the keynote, the audience worked together in an interactive workshop designed by Joyce Lee, MD, MPH, and led by industry experts and innovators. Crain’s Detroit Business published a Q&A that previewed some of the topics I raised.
