What if leadership was not just about expertise or title, but about how effectively you navigate complexity, collaborate across teams, and drive innovation? Join us for an engaging and highly interactive virtual session designed for indivduals in pharma, biopharma, and life sciences who are looking to expand their leadership impact through practical, human-centered tools.
In this session, participants will be introduced to design thinking as a powerful leadership approach that can strengthen communication, problem-solving, curiosity, and cross-functional collaboration in fast-paced scientific environments. Through guided activities and hands-on exercises using a virtual whiteboard, attendees will experience how design thinking techniques can help uncover better insights, facilitate more productive conversations, and build confidence in leading without waiting for a formal title.
Whether you are an early-career scientist, a technical professional exploring broader influence, or someone preparing for strategic or leadership roles, this session will provide immediately applicable tools you can use in your day-to-day work. No prior experience with design thinking is required — just curiosity and a willingness to participate.
This event also serves as the introduction to a deeper, in-person workshop planned for September, focused on innovation tools and hands-on leadership development.
This session is centered on topics and experiences most relevant to female professionals in corporate environments; all attendees are welcome, though the Speakers content is primarily tailored to this audience.
