2018 Leadership Institute

2018 Leadership Institute

The 2018 Annual Meeting welcomed the third cohort of SBM's year-long Leadership Institute for mid-career members.

SBM Past-President Marian L. Fitzgibbon, PhD, began developing the year-long Leadership Institute for mid-career members in 2016 after identifying leadership training as a high-need area among mid-career individuals, despite the fact that they often find themselves at pivotal career junctures where leadership skills or career coaching would prove helpful.

The third annual Leadership Institute kicked off at SBM's 2018 Annual Meeting. The 35 Leadership Institute fellows met during an intensive two-day workshop which included sessions on:

  • Understanding yourself as an emerging leader
  • Managing conflict
  • Navigating diverse career paths
  • Thriving amid chaos
  • Singletasking
  • Welcoming diversity and fostering inclusivity
  • Crafting, practicing, and executing highly effective impromptu pitches

Following the in-person session, fellows participated throughout the year in individual coaching sessions, developed self-selected leadership projects under the mentorship of recognized SBM leaders, and joined periodic calls with a “learning community” of five to seven fellows with similar professional interests.
