Virtual Water Cooler: Demystifying Innovation Session 3

Sponsored by the Center for Faculty Development’s Office for Clinical Careers, the Magic Wand Initiative, and the MGH Springboard Studio

The “Virtual Water Cooler Series: Demystifying Innovation” is a new series to create a collaborative space for clinical faculty looking to bridge into innovation.

Stuart Paap talks about how to be more persuasive. Whether you are speaking to a patient about a new behavior, sharing a new idea with colleagues, speaking with external partners, or in your personal life, effective communication is not just about winning over the room; it’s about getting buy-in beyond the conversation.

In addition to working with corporate clients (Vertex, Microsoft, EMD Serono, Takeda), and helping startups raise tens of millions of dollars, Stuart also leads workshops for universities and technology incubators, including the Harvard iLab, the MIT Enterprise Forum, Masschallenge, the Capital Network, McGill’s X-1 Accelerator and more.
