Built to Lead is a new companion offering that will make the leadership concepts of the Vernissage Health dialogue series accessible to all students in DLSPH and beyond. This series is hosted by Matthew Goulbourne (MHSc Class 2020) and Mobeen Lalani (MHI Class 2023) two emerging health leaders uncovering what it takes to be a great leader in today’s healthcare system.
Season 4 of Built to Lead focuses on how health leaders can “challenge the status quo,” act as “good rebels,” and create positive change in health care. The season brings listeners inspiring stories from visionary leaders who are shaping the future of health care.
Season 3 of Built to Lead focuses on how we can intentionally propagate joy as leaders. Focusing through the lens of Dr. Martin Seligman's PERMA model, Mobeen and Matthew interview leaders in North American healthcare systems and have joyful conversations about joy.
Season 2 of Built to Lead profiles the seminal work of Dr. Henry Mintzberg and explores the mindsets required of contemporary leaders in health - namely, the reflective mindset, the analytical mindset, the collaborative mindset, the worldly mindset and the action mindset. These leadership mindsets are revisited with Dr. Mintzberg and explored through the eyes of a diverse range of contemporary leaders in Canadian health care.
The inaugural season of the Built to Lead podcast is entitled “Leadership: From Self-Doubt to Confidence." The five episodes cascade with a focus on the podcast guests' leadership insights and experiences, starting with leadership perspectives of current students, recent alumni early in their career, mid-career leaders, and finally, concluding with established leaders with broad system experience.

In Part 2, hosts Matthew and Shagun continue their conversation with Dr. Maja Djikic, exploring how leaders can overcome stagnation and accelerate personal transformation.
Building on the Wheel of Self, Maja explains how joy—not happiness—is a key indicator of growth and how self-limiting beliefs, stored in our nervous system, hold us back. She introduces embodied learning, showing why true change requires rewiring deep-seated patterns, not just willpower.
Key takeaways:
Recognizing stagnation and knowing when to step back
How rapid transformation is possible
The role of mindfulness and emotional regulation in leadership growth
Maja challenges traditional leadership models, offering a science-backed approach to breaking through mental barriers and unlocking full potential.
