When you’re #covering, for whatever reason, it’s another form of mental work, it’s a constraint on your capacity – there’s a cost says @j_jmiller during the Imaginator Summit at @CUDenver#CourageousImagination
@j_jmiller continues, Covering can impact everything from #innovation to #productivity and ethical decision making. It can change how you lead and impact the health of your workforce.
Thank you @HannahDrake628 for your power, your words, to keep us steady on creating and *desiring* a new game; to do whatever it takes to change the world so that it may be a place where everybody (& life) thrives.

“I’m not here to entertain you, I’m here to shake you.”
Thank you, @HannahDrake628, for not only closing out #CHC2022 with a clear call to action, but for invoking a deep moment of reflection for everyone listening.
