WednesdayDec 17 2025Virtual Lunch & Learn: Leadership R&D: How to Lead Yourself & Your Team Through...Well, Anything–
ZoomWebsiteBeing in bioscience, your world is all about R&D—Research and Development. It's the protocols, the trials, and the data. And there's another R&D...the one that kicks in when your experiment fails, funding gets weird, or your team is just plain burnt out. This is Leadership R&D—Resilience and Determination. It’s the core skill set for navigating the uncertainty, failure, and long-term grind of innovation. Come spend your lunch hour to get research-backed, practical tools to build real resilience for yourself, and learn how to create an environment where your team can do the same. Join business coach Josh Ellison for a candid, insightful, and supportive session where you’ll walk away with strategies you can use to practice Leadership R&D that same afternoon.
