Molly EndresJuly 27, 2026by Tom FlatauI was excited to welcome Tom as our keynote speaker during a graduation plenary session. We had an alignment conversation before the session and Tom took diligent notes highlighting opportunities where he could address difficult topics and challenges our learners were facing in their daily work. More than just a “lecturer,” Tom brought in opportunities for the participants to engage and share their own stories and examples throughout our time together. One participant shared with his leaders that he took away “profound insights” from the session with new insights on how the brain processes stress and ideas for how to be more resilient in the face of adversity at work.
