Movers & Shakers - INCIGHT Scholars Making a Difference
We are grateful to all the participants and members of the INCIGHT Community. We had the opportunity to interview some of our previous scholarship recipients and jobseekers and asked them to share the impact they are making in the world. With a special focus on DIVERSITY, we also asked them to share what this word means and why it matters to them.
How A Creative Pursuit Can Help You Find Hope in Tough Times
When I started my newsletter, Hello, Adversity, in 2023, I had modest expectations. Although I was excited to write about how I’ve cultivated resilience on my rare disease journey, I didn’t know if I’d be able to keep up a consistent writing habit, or if anyone would want to read what I had to say.
But I did know this: I desperately needed a creative outlet.
Changing Hearts & Minds
Scott Hatley, Executive Director at INCIGHT, explains the meaning and importance of "Changing Hearts & Minds", which is the first of three pillars in the INCIGHT mission statement.
Leveraging Obstacles - Your Compensating Assets
