Renewed and Inspired

Jeffrey Sachs, keynote speaker

Jac and I attended the Global Health and Innovation Conference at Yale University last week and came away refreshed, inspired, and full of new ideas we can hardly wait to implement.  It's pretty awesome to attend an event with over 2000 people that share your passion.  The keynote speaker was Jeffrey Sachs, noted economist and author of the book End of Poverty.  He reminded us that JFK had no idea how we were going to get to the moon when he boldly stepped out and declared we would.  Rather, he set the goal, mobilized the team, and only then addressed the how-to.  Sounds a LOT like our HealthEd Connect programs in method but certainly makes them look like a slam dunk in comparison!
