I’m Katie, the Founder of Action Potential Solutions. I became passionate about improving feedback in organizations while conducting research for my thesis during my masters degree in Organizational Psychology. My research took a dyadic approach to feedback, highlighting that how feedback is received is just as important for positive outcomes as how it's given. By reframing feedback and looking at it through a dyadic lens, we can help to improve the effectiveness of feedback in organizations. Feedback is an integral process for an organization's success. Effective feedback can help organizations to better capitalize on essential aspects such as innovation, change management, employee engagement, customer satisfaction and service quality and so much more. As both a Certified Training & Development Professional (CTDP) with Canada's Institute for Performance and Learning, and as an Organization Development Certified Professional (ODCP), I'm able take a more holistic approach to helping organizations optimize feedback. One that includes not only essential skill development for individuals in both giving and receiving feedback, but also the policies, procedures and processes in the organizational environment as well.

Jon Nelson is a lived-experience expert in mental health. A healthcare communications executive in the biopharmaceutical space for 20+ years, Jon is a tireless advocate and voice for those who, like him, suffer from mental illness. Jon’s mission is to pulverize the stigma associated with mental illness to help the millions who needlessly suffer in silence. Jon was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and was first diagnosed with mental illness in 2010; he has participated in numerous treatments since then intended to mitigate against its harmful effects. Having not shown improvement after exhausting all treatment options, in 2022 Jon became one of only a small handful of people in the U.S. to participate in clinical trials aimed at healing mental disorders and related depression. Known as deep brain stimulation, the procedure was built on the scientific premise that electrical stimulation could reset brains that are in the grip of powerful and devastating psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. The procedure was a resounding success. He has been in remission from depression since the day the device was turned on in August 2022. Of the many physiological and psychological challenges that Jon has endured over the years, perhaps the biggest one he’s yet to overcome is the stigma that’s often associated with mental illness. In today’s world, the resilience of those who have diseases like cancer is often celebrated while those grappling with mental illness are heavily stigmatized. Rather than succumbing to the challenges of suffering with mental illness and its stigma, Jon instead chose to channel his experiences into a lifelong mission of advocacy and support. Jon currently serves as a strategic advisor for several not for profits including One Mind and Mental Health Collaborative and as an advisor to Motif Neurotech, which develops minimally invasive bioelectronics to treat and monitor severe mental illness. Most recently, Jon was invited by the NIH to speak at a congressional briefing to discuss progress from the BRAIN Initiative, which fosters better understanding of the human brain and its potential for revolutionizing treatments for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Jon previously held executive leadership roles in healthcare communications at Omnicom, Syneos Health and the PSL Group.

HI, my name is Kaden Mattinson and I am the Executive Director of Mending Minds Village, Family Peer Support Specialist, QPR Instructor, and most importantly a father and husband. 5 years ago I discovered the need to advocate for juvenile mental health and empower youth through their own journey. I learned how important the work of empowering our child’s voice was, and it led me to creating this amazing organization. I now know firsthand what it is like to watch your child suffer through their mental illness, and how to advocate for them and empower them to get their needs addressed, and this is why I now speak to youth and their families on the importance of their mental well-being and family support. My goal is to empower today’s youth of any age to obtain mental health treatment, to use their voice, and to teach families how to advocate for their family members. In doing this, I believe we can create massive change, and show the world that mental health is as crucial to mend as physical health and should be treated equally! It takes a Village to raise a child, it takes an even larger village to support a family! When I am not speaking, you can find me in the wilderness enjoying all that this beautiful world of ours has to display. Most importantly, you will find me implementing my own words and ideas to better my family’s mental health and achieve our goals and successes! I look forward to connecting and being a part of your next event so that together we can better the lives of all children and empower their mental health journey!
