About Empowering People and Teams

Leading others in academic medicine demands more than operational expertise — it requires the ability to align teams around shared goals, sustain trust through ongoing change, and navigate conflict with clarity and intention. Today’s managers, supervisors, and project leaders must balance evolving institutional priorities with the day-to-day realities of supporting people, fostering collaboration, and driving results in dynamic environments.

Empowering People and Teams is designed to help leaders meet these expectations by building the skills needed to strengthen team alignment, foster innovation and psychological safety, communicate effectively, and lead through change. Through this learning experience, participants gain practical strategies to support their teams and enhance their impact across their organizations.

What to Expect

Designed specifically for professionals in academic medicine, this experience moves beyond the traditional multi-day seminar model to deliver a series of focused, high-impact virtual workshops that allow participants to build skills over time and immediately apply what they learn in their own teams and institutions.  

Registration for all three workshops in the series is now open, allowing participants to bundle the full experience for maximum impact. While each workshop may be taken individually, the curriculum is intentionally designed as a progressive series, and participants are strongly encouraged to enroll in all three workshops for the most comprehensive development experience.

Workshop 1: Leveraging Strengths and Differences

July 28 & 30, 2026 | Virtual | 1pm-4pm EST

Workshop 2: Developing High-Performing Teams

September 22 & 24, 2026 | Virtual | 1pm-4pm EST 
Participants will apply evidence-based strategies to strengthen team alignment, diagnose disengagement, and enhance overall performance.

Workshop 3: Leading People

February 9 & 11, 2027 | Virtual | 1pm-4pm EST 
Designed to elevate day-to-day leadership impact, this module equips participants to build trust, deliver effective feedback, and foster engagement and innovation. Leaders will also strengthen their adaptive leadership capacity to align teams strategically and respond proactively to evolving organizational demands.
