Work Works: Harnessing Hope, Grit, and Growth in a World of Unwanted Change
Tuesday, November 11, 2025 | 7:45 - 9:30 AM
Ali Truwit, Founder, 2x Paralympic Medalist, Stronger Than You Think Foundation
What happens when life changes without your permission? For Paralympian and disability and health advocate Ali Truwit, it meant redefining success not only by outcomes, but also by effort. In this inspiring keynote, Ali shares how the mantra "Work Works"—a phrase she grew up with—became her lifeline and launchpad following a life-altering trauma. Her journey from surviving a shark attack to setting American records just a year after becoming an amputee is a testament to the power of choosing hope over fear, and discipline over defeat. As digital health leaders navigating constant transformation, Ali challenges us to embrace change, trust the effort, and lead with resilience.
Through personal storytelling and universal insights, this session reframes adversity as opportunity—and shows how bold hope, backed by hard work, can create outcomes greater than we ever imagined.
