Mastering Leadership
Cheryl Gore-Felton, PhD | Janice Lowe, MD | Cindy Ho
Holding difficult conversations is a necessary, powerful, and under-practiced skill for anyone interested in leadership. This hands-on lesson will help you acquire the knowledge of an effective approach that enables you to confidently initiate, lead, and conclude difficult conversations from the position of managing up or managing down in an academic medicine environment. Key considerations include being aware of power dynamics and increasing your ability to set priorities so that you can advocate for what you want and need.
Coaching Skills
Rania Sanford, EdD, PCC | Sarah Williams, MD, MHPE, ACC
Coaching is a valuable tool for healthcare professionals who are used to the structured environment of academic medicine.
