Leading Yourself:
The Foundation of Effective Leadership

Great leadership starts with leading yourself. In this empowering workshop, we’ll focus on the essential skills and practices needed to lead with purpose, self-awareness, and authenticity.

As a faculty member, your ability to establish, communicate, and act on your vision and values is the cornerstone for becoming a stronger, more effective leader in academic medicine and health professions education.

Key Takeaways from this Workshop:

  • Self-Awareness: Understand your leadership style, strengths, biases, and potential areas for growth.
  • Being a Leader: Add “being” to your leadership language to influence knowing and doing in complex situations.
  • Personal Vision & Values: Align your leadership approach with your core values to inspire and motivate others.

This workshop will provide you with practical tools to increase your self-management, boost your confidence, and lay the groundwork for leading others effectively. Join us and take the first step in leading with purpose, starting with yourself.

Led by Steve Taff, PhD, OTR/L, FNAP, FAOTA, Assistant Dean for Faculty Leadership Development.
