As part of our Diversity and Inclusion speaker series, Ipsen hosted Alan to speak to the power of a shared purpose in navigating through the most chaotic times in business and in life. Alan’s talk provided examples where professionals, including first responders and his husband who runs an emergency room in a NYC hospital, have been able to perform the impossible through a sense of shared purpose. Our attendees absolutely loved Alan’s conversational tone and it was the perfect message to be delivered during LGBTQ+ pride month and Covid-19. He is one of those presenters attendees just love to listen to!
