The Ascend Foundation report highlights that APIs are three times less likely to access mental health services than their white counterparts, reflecting the persistent stigma around seeking support. Many executives were trained to project infallibility, but today’s environment demands a different model: one where authenticity and vulnerability foster trust and psychological safety.

This conversation challenges the myth that vulnerability undermines authority. Senior leaders will share how openness has strengthened credibility, while experts outline ways executives can normalize mental health dialogue inside their organizations.

The goal: to see vulnerability as a strategic leadership advantage, not a liability.
