Stanford Medicine X; Becoming Whole - Bringing Humanity Back to Health
- 8. We need to engage the passionate human imagination, that great engine
of creativity, and challenge it to go beyond the anxious contemplation of
environmental disaster to envision the world we desire—vigorous,
verdant, and enduring.
Once the human imagination visualizes a brilliant future, the human
intellect can achieve what previously seemed impossible. The human
imagination and the human intellect have, together, achieved countless
astonishing things in the past. I believe they can do so again and again.

Humanity is being called to grow up, take on its fears, and exercise
responsibility. This can be an anxiety-producing transition for
individuals, and it is a powerfully anxiety-producing transition for
humanity as a whole, as social responsibility becomes very personal
and ties us all to the outcome of our collective actions. It’s no longer
something that someone else must do. We are all in it together.
- 11. To work in new ways, we need to understand partnership. We need to not
only have a slogan, but truly internalize that we are all in it together. In
the past, when we worked with the outside it was mostly with a vendor in
a one-sided relationship. Today, it’s about looking at how we can both win
and create something together that is new and different and that the
world needs.
If you get clear on and share your values and the behavior needed to
innovate, you will unleash talent both inside and outside of your
organization to deliver remarkable shifts, changes, and relevant products
both for today and tomorrow. As more people feel connected to the shared
purpose of the organization, you can implement new ways of working
where people can connect their own stories to that of the organization.

I am all about helping people figure out a new way of working in the
world—whether the new way is for an individual, a process, a function, a
division, or even an ecosystem. The world is changing quickly, from both a
technological and a connectivity perspective. If you are not evolving and
adapting quickly, you will not be able to do what is required to create the
impact, contribution, and value that you want to make in the world.
- 13. Ultimately, for a lot of this change to happen, we have to start looking
within ourselves. It’s counter to how most of us were raised. We have to
do this inner work to learn the way to be in business in the 21st century.
We need to know who we are as individuals and who we are as
organizations.
We may think these ideas are new, but they are very old. To be most
effective in the world, we first need to evolve within ourselves. The idea of
overcoming the forces that could be making us less effective is what we're
trying to work with, so that we can then act in the world in a more positive
way.

I look at life from a holistic perspective. The challenge we need to
overcome is finding out how we can integrate business as part of our
lives. It requires transformation in how we think, how we behave, and
how we act. We are seeing it today with younger generations, yet we are
still training and expecting them to live in a world of competition and
overachieving.
- 14. Based on over 10 years of experience in Tibet, One Heart World-Wide
developed an internationally recognized model—the Network of Safety—
which is a simple yet effective healthcare model that has been shown to
reliably reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths in remote, rural
areas of the world. We implemented it across mainland China, Latin
America, and West Africa, and have proven it to be a replicable and
sustainable approach to improving maternal and neonatal health.

People often ask us how we did it. It’s simple: we went to the people, we
lived with them, and we loved them. And we helped them to come up
with ways to address their problems, because there’s no one in the world
who wants their mother, daughter, or sister to die in childbirth. When we
were asked how we made it sustainable, I’d share that not losing a
community or family member was a pretty highly motivating factor.
My dream is for all women worldwide to have access to a safe delivery. It
is not acceptable to me that any woman has to die while giving birth. Our
work is ongoing, and we are always looking for further support to help
save more mothers and their babies.
