“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence. It is to act with yesterday’s logic.” - Peter Drucker

We're in one of those moments. AI is reshaping how we lead, decide and connect. What do we need to let go of to lead effectively now? #Leadership #AI #FutureofWork

Ultrasound is one of the most powerful tools in medicine.
Used right — it saves lives.
Used wrong — it can cause harm.
Let’s make sure everyone knows how to use it.
That’s the mission of the Ultrasound Proficiency #GrandChallenge.

When I was a kid, stigma tore my family apart.
Now, I start meetings by saying,
“My mother had schizophrenia.”
Let’s make that kind of honesty normal.

What if a handheld device + a trained midwife =
A mother lives
A baby breathes
A woman gets a job
A nation shifts?

That’s what’s happening in Kenya through Inteleos’s Ultrasound #GrandChallenge.
It’s bold. It’s now.

175 leaders. One summit.
We asked, “Where are we failing?”
They told us: “Not enough diversity. Not enough lived experience.”
We listened. We changed.
This is what real leadership looks like.

What if we treated mental health like a broken leg?
No shame. No delay. Just care.
That’s the world we’re building—with the Huntsman Mental Health Grand Challenge.
It’s time to end the silence.

The $100 ultrasound device is real.
But so is the risk of misdiagnosis without training.
That’s why Inteleos launched a #GrandChallenge:
👉 Every ultrasound user, proficient by 2030.
It starts in Kenya. It ends with global health reimagined.

My mom had schizophrenia.
I never told anyone—not my teachers, not my friends.
That silence changed everything.
Today, I’m helping lead a national effort to end the stigma.
Because silence shouldn’t cost us our families.

Grand Challenges don’t just identify problems—they drive action. They unite organizations, industries, and governments to solve what’s never been solved before.
How could your organization be part of the next big breakthrough?

Wicked problems demand bold solutions. That’s where Grand Challenges come in. 🌍
They unite governments, businesses, & grassroots orgs to tackle the impossible—like ending polio or advancing clean energy. What challenge in your field needs this approach? Let’s connect. #GrandChallenges #Innovation

1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness this year. Yet stigma keeps many from seeking the help they deserve. Fear of judgment forces too many into silence.
NAMI reminds us: You Are Not Alone. 💙 Let’s break the stigma and build a world where mental health care is normalized and supported.

Incremental progress won’t solve the biggest problems we face. #GrandChallenges will.
They’re bold. They’re ambitious. They bring together diverse minds to tackle wicked issues head-on. What’s a big, complex problem you’d love to see solved? Let’s brainstorm. #SocialImpact #Collaboration

Traditional approaches make incremental progress. Grand Challenges create systemic change. They rally stakeholders around one goal: solving the unsolvable.
Let’s build the future—together.

Workplace mental health matters. Stress and burnout don’t just impact individuals—they cost businesses billions. Creating a stigma-free, supportive environment leads to healthier, happier and more productive employees

Polio eradication. 🚑 Space exploration. 🚀 AI for good. 🤖
Each was once thought impossible. Grand Challenges changed that.

In 22 states, medical schools can legally ask applicants if they’ve had a serious mental illness. That’s discrimination. We need policy reform NOW. 💥

Would you hesitate to see a doctor for a broken leg? Mental health deserves the same treatment. Stigma stops people from seeking life-saving help. Let’s change that. 💚

Grand Challenge: Transform U.S. Education

Idea: Remove traditional grade levels entirely, replacing them with mastery-based systems that let students progress based on demonstrated understanding rather than age or time spent.
