Bridging Resident Access Gaps to Mental Health Care and Social Services

Murrieta, California was struggling with staggering increases in depression, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse. In this council-manager city, healthcare and social services are fragmented and often unavailable, especially for unhoused individuals and underserved communities, causing more than 80% of individuals to give up on accessing care. The result: first responder challenges, strained city infrastructure, and an average cost of $6,000 per untreated serious mental illness. Attend this session to find out how the city addressed the issues, including internal team creation, external partnerships, and resident communications.

General Session – Thinking INSIDE the Box: How Tough Times Fuel True Creativity and Innovation

We’ve all said it: “If only I had ________, then I could do __________.” We’re convinced that the only thing standing between us and our best work is more money, more time, more resources, more buy-in, a better team, a better boss, a better piece of software… the list goes on. But the truth is, real creative work thrives within constraints. True creative work exists in the gap between what you have and what you think you need. After all, if you had everything you needed, you wouldn’t need creativity at all. True creativity showed up when the Apollo 13 astronauts had to make square filters fit round tubes. It showed up when a global pandemic made in-person work a liability. And it’ll show up for you too, once you let go of your misguided beliefs about what true creativity requires. Let Kyle Scheele, the “Patron Saint of Crazy Ideas,” show you how.

General Session – Resilience Through Rejection

For too many of us, the fear of rejection is the #1 obstacle to achieving our goals and dreams. It’s our natural tendency to avoid the risk of rejection, even when it’s detrimental to our businesses, careers, and lives. Nobody knows this like entrepreneur Jia Jiang. To overcome his own fear of rejection, he conducted an experiment in which he purposely sought it out every day for 100 days. From asking complete strangers for $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a fast-food restaurant, Jia’s experiences (and surprising results) became the basis for one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time and the bestselling book Rejection Proof. It also transformed Jia Jiang into the world’s foremost authority on rejection. In this engaging presentation, Jia shares insightful—and often laugh-out-loud—stories from his 100 Days of Rejection. Audiences learn how to become more resilient and make becoming rejection-proof their superpower for success in life.
