During the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition we talked about finding your deep joy and where it meets the world’s deep needs—and how to translate that into clear actions under pressure.

80% of your body weight runs through your foot every time you step down… and that’s exactly why foot injuries can take athletes out fast.

You can speak to a packed room full of CEOs and still miss the biggest truth in the building: people aren’t just listening they’re carrying their lives, their families, their fears, and their hopes into your words.

Honored to speak at Mayo Clinic Florida Grand Rounds.

Always grateful for the opportunity to share ideas, learn alongside incredible clinicians, and contribute to conversations that move healthcare forward.

Most “system problems” don’t survive contact with consistent leadership. The system is made of what we repeat: how we hire, how we run meetings, what we reward, what we tolerate, how we communicate under stress, and what we do when no one’s watching.

[Thom Mayer @ThomMayerMD]

Calling someone a “future leader” sounds like encouragement, but it quietly sends the wrong message: “You’re not one yet.” Real leadership isn’t a title someone hands you later it’s how you show up today, in the moments that matter, when the pressure is real.

Every system is perfectly designed to get precisely the results it gets.

If your results aren’t where you want them, it’s rarely a “people problem.” It’s a system problem and the hard part is admitting that the system includes us.

Leadership shows up when it counts.

Honored to speak at the NFLPA player meetings about leading under pressure—from on-field medical emergencies to 9/11 and Ukraine—and why player-led decision-making is the backbone of a stronger, safer league.

It feels impossible…
right up until you do it. 💡

I always say, 'Limits begin where vision ends!' Will you live out your vision? Or accept limits? The choice is yours...

Speaking at the 45th Annual Trustee Conference of the Hospital Association of New York State was a powerful reminder of the responsibility—and opportunity—we have as leaders in times of uncertainty.

If you want to keep your A Team, you can’t just hire them—you have to re-recruit them every single day.

In my latest piece, I break down:

Why retention is the “second pandemic”

Leadership isn’t tested when things are calm—it’s revealed in crisis.

As Captain Sully once told me, “You’re not really a pilot until the engines go silent. Until then, you’re just a driver.”

I joined NBC New York to break down what turf toe really is: an injury to the big toe joint that carries most of your body weight and can sideline even elite players for months.

As we move through the rest of 2025 and look toward 2026, my focus remains:
help leaders turn crises into catalysts, build teams that perform under pressure, and create cultures where doing the right thing especially when it’s hard is the standard, not the exception.

Onward.

Honored to speak at IHMC about what it really means to lead in times of constant crisis.
Grateful to IHMC for the invitation and to everyone who showed up ready to think, question, and grow.

Every win is built on lessons learned the hard way.
The stumbles, the setbacks, the near-misses—they’re not the end of the road. They’re the training ground for greatness.

When we were In Ukraine caring for patients displaced by the war, that's precisely what they did.

On October 24, I had the deep joy of delivering the closing keynote for the Nebraska Hospital Association in Omaha. The room was warm, honest, and fully engaged in the conversation on “Leading in Times of Crisis — and Healthcare is Always in Crisis These Days.”

Maureen and I at Downton Abbey—also known as Highclere Castle!

If you’re leading through staffing and retention crises, I hope you’ll give it a read and reflect on how you can “re-recruit” the people who trust you with their time, talent, and Deep Joy.

[Thom Mayer @ThomMayerMD]

Every time I step on stage, I’m reminded why I love speaking so much. The real magic isn’t the keynote itself—it’s the conversations that happen before, during, and long after the event.
