In every leader's journey, there is a moment, or a series of moments, that stand out — a miserable failure, a grand success, a total surprise.

It is that response that shapes a person’s approach to challenge and change forever after. Come hear ten of today’s most dynamic grassroots global health leaders describe the moments that defined them.
