NA HopkinsatHome November 23, November 23, Mondayhopkins at home, building winning teams, winningteams, athletics, coach, virtual• Presented by Johns Hopkins University Athletics and Hopkins at Home •• Featuring head coaches Dan Weiler, Bayleigh Braswell, and Ryan Cain •Strong leadership requires the courage to have difficult conversations—and the empathy and trust to make them productive.Leadership sometimes means saying what needs to be said—even when the conversation is uncomfortable. Whether addressing performance, resolving conflict, delivering disappointing news, or holding someone accountable, difficult conversations can test the trust and relationships that strong teams depend on.Across Johns Hopkins University Athletics, coaches regularly navigate conversations where honesty, empathy, and clear expectations must work together. Our featured coaches will explore how leaders can approach challenging discussions with respect and compassion while remaining direct and constructive. They’ll consider how to prepare for difficult conversations, listen effectively, manage emotions, give meaningful feedback, and create an environment where accountability can strengthen rather than undermine relationships.Joining us for this conversation are:Dan WeilerHead Women’s Soccer CoachBayleigh BraswellHead Volleyball CoachRyan CainHead Men’s Basketball CoachWhether you manage colleagues, mentor others, lead an organization, or simply want to communicate more effectively when the stakes are high, this conversation will offer practical strategies for turning difficult moments into opportunities for understanding, growth, and stronger relationships.

These coaches will reveal how strong cultures, honest conversations, and the right people can inspire people to perform at their best and transform a group of individuals into a winning team.

NAMedicineHealthcareServices SchoolofMedicine HopkinsatHome January 12, January 12, TuesdayHopkins at Home, virtual, medicine, cim, center for innovative medicine,• Presented by the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine and Hopkins at Home •Illness has a way of stripping away our assumptions about control, certainty, and what it means to live a good life. Join bestselling author, Duke University professor, and podcast host Kate Bowler for a deeply human conversation about what serious illness can teach us about vulnerability, resilience, and our relationships with those who care for us.Drawing on her experiences as a historian, patient, and observer of how we make meaning in difficult times, Bowler will explore what happens when familiar stories about strength, optimism, and overcoming adversity no longer feel sufficient. She will consider why honesty and compassion matter in moments of uncertainty—and why trust between patients, clinicians, and the institutions of medicine remains essential to helping people navigate some of life’s most difficult moments.hah-27-cim-bowler-v
