Group Research Leadership Development
Our unique curriculum-based group coaching model scaffolds learning and concepts across 1 hour weekly meetings, with homework that includes activities and reading. The eight sessions cover: the most important skill of a leader; how to have a more systems-based view of your research enterprise; key methods for establishing and maintaining a productive culture in collaborative groups; concrete tools for setting expectations, holding difficult conversations; concrete tools for early-stage planning for projects/proposals, large and small.
The program begins with a FourSight™ assessment debrief with a certified coach followed by 8 weekly sessions with a trained facilitator. We use proven leadership development approaches modified for the academic research environment.

For Early Stage Faculty Members
Funding is only one part of success. A strategic plan for a research and career trajectory can have a big impact on competitiveness. Making the transition from graduate student or post-doc to faculty requires changing self conception and gaining new skills to manage and lead.
For Established Faculty Members
Moving to the next level in a research career often requires skills that are not taught as part of research training. This small-group program is for established investigators ready to take on higher-level challenges, such as running centers or large collaborative groups.
