2023 Leadership Institute

The seventh annual Mid-Career Leadership Institute launched in March 2023 with a short virtual session, followed by introductory learning community calls and a 2-day in-person workshop held in conjunction with SBM's 2023 Annual Meeting.

The 28 Leadership Institute fellows attended sessions on:

  • Understanding yourself as an emerging leader
  • Creating leadership development plans
  • Negotiating
  • Resiliency and thriving amidst chaos
  • Crafting, practicing, and executing highly effective impromptu pitches

Following the workshop, 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.
