Particularly when it comes to leadership, what works for men might not work for women. Many of us try to emulate a mentor or a leader we respect but that approach has the critical flaw that we are not that other person, no matter how hard we try. In a crisis, our weaknesses become apparent when we are not being authentic to our true selves. The path to finding our unique best leadership style comes from exercises in self-awareness, receiving feedback from others and leadership experiments.</p><p><strong>Speaker</strong>: <em>Angeliki A.

Even fewer possess the determination needed to drive change. Advocacy and public policy are crucial components in the broader landscape of power dynamics.

Research Development (RD) is a non-traditional career path. RD professionals (RDP) make team science happen by guiding researchers and teams through proposal development, team science, and strategic planning for research innovation and excellence. Postdoctoral training confers effective and highly transferrable skills that make postdocs valuable as RDP candidates.</p><p><em>Speaker: <strong>Samarpita Sengupta, Ph.D.</strong>, assistant dean for research, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Arizona; member, Board of Directors, National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP); co-chair, iKNoW Affinity Group, NORDP; certified mentor trainer, CIMER.
