OCTOBER 3, 2024
About the Organizer: Established in 1975, Intermountain Healthis a leading non-profit healthcare system that operates in the Intermountain West (primarily Utah, Idaho, and Nevada). Intermountain Health strives to provide extraordinary care and superior service at an affordable cost, driven by its values of serving with empathy, delivering best-in-quality care, maintaining people’s well-being, and building community through teamwork.
Today’s rapidly evolving world needs changemakers — people who will reform their profession, advance their community, rebuild their institution, and remake their nation through small yet impactful choices.
At Intermountain Health’s Better Together – 2024 Fall Leadership Assembly event, Hitendra Wadhwa shared inspiring stories of changemaking, drawn from his research on transformative leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and Nelson Mandela. In this moving discussion, he examined how successful changemakers drive change from their inner core — the space of highest potential that resides in every individual — and the five principles we can all follow to become agents of positive change.
“Dr. Wadhwa was an incredible storyteller, offering beautiful, tangible examples of how inner mastery augmented incredible and historic leaders. Also, he exuded amazing compassion.”
