Collaborative Study and Group Coaching Program - Call for Participation
Women bring a competitive advantage to science.
Science needs more women
leaders.

What would empower you to lead
with greater impact
without sacrificing your wellbeing?

The Feminine Face of Leadership in Science (FFLS) is a collaborative study that engages women scientists into an enlivening conversation and interactive experience, unlike any you’ve had before.
This Collaborative Study is New
  • It catalyzes a deeper, more collaborative exploration among colleagues across scientific disciplines. The “collaborative” aspect is key: rather than merely responding to a given set of questions, you engage to discover what can help you make the difference that matters to you now.
  • It is designed for rich participant inquiry, small-group interaction and mutual support. Explore ways to cultivate your leadership as a source of empowerment and competitive advantage in your chosen field of expertise. Leverage what is meaningful and true for you.
  • With three modes of interaction over time, you gain perspective and practical guidance about issues critical to your leadership growth with renewed curiosity, candor and clarity.
This Collaborative Study is For You if…
  • You want to embody a healthier, more authentic and co-creative way of leading, especially in situations where your leadership is challenged.
  • Your professional education (Masters or PhD level) and current professional activity are in the natural sciences, e.g. bio-science, chemistry, physics, etc.
  • You currently work in a position of leadership or senior management in your organization.
