Power Hour PLUS: Expand Your Impact - Session 1 - From Urgency to Action: Advancing Decision-Making

When:  Wed, Sep 30, 2026 from 02:00 PM to 03:15 PM (ET)

ASTHO’s Power Hour PLUS: Expand Your Impact series equips public health leaders with the strategic insights, practical tools, and real-world strategies needed to lead with confidence and drive meaningful change. Building upon the success of the traditional 60-minute Power Hour format, Power Hour PLUS expands each session to 75 minutes, creating additional time for deeper exploration of leadership concepts, meaningful discussion, practical application, and peer-to-peer engagement. Over the course of five interactive sessions, participants will explore key leadership competencies that are critical for organizational success in today's complex public health environment.

In the first session, From Urgency to Action: Paths to Advancing Decision-Making, participants will explore how to distinguish between solvable problems and underlying polarities, determine when action is needed, and structure decisions that move teams and organizations toward desired outcomes.

Participants will:

  • Differentiate between problems that can be solved and polarities that must be managed over time.
  • Employ key diagnostic questions to determine whether a challenge is real, relevant, and ready for action.
  • Define decision criteria grounded in organizational values and strategic objectives to improve leadership decision-making.


Registration will close on Monday, Sept. 28.
