Leadership Labs
Leadership Labs are boosters for your leadership practice that cover timely, actionable topics relevant to leading at UW Medicine. In each 90-minute workshop, leaders are introduced to a framework or strategy that can be used to enhance their leadership abilities and address common leadership challenges.
These sessions provide an interactive setting where leaders connect with other leaders, while gaining tools and experimenting with techniques relevant to their work. The labs include group discussions and breakouts, so participants should join from a device with both a microphone and camera.

What leaders are saying:
