Flyer with text: Excellence in Science Leadership: Strategies for Unlocking Individual Potential Next Workshop - August 18-20, 2025 (entirely virtual) Indication of Interest - Now Open! https://workforce.psi.edu/leadership/ Workshop Facilitators – Dr. Julie Rathbun, Dr. JA Grier Feedback from past attendees: In our anonymous poll, 93% strongly agreed that the hosts created an environment where they felt valued. 100% found the workshop itself valuable and would recommend it to others. Our workshop is designed for people in leadership roles in space science, and our definition of leader is broad. Past attendees represented all career stages from graduate student to senior scientist, in positions including instrument PI, university faculty, spacecraft engineer, outreach professional and program officer. Participants hailed from industry, non-profits, colleges, small businesses, and governance institutions. Both the content of the workshop and the strategies for facilitation are models of best- practice for leaders in how to engage with their teams - their rising stars - to guide them towards individual and group success. We have substantially retooled our offering to empower leaders to meet the challenges of the present moment, and beyond. Topics include the basics of team building, science ethics, and feedback mechanisms; developing a personal support structure and finding resources to remain engaged and effective; and innovative strategies to find new funding, connections, and opportunities. Previous workshop participants are welcome to indicate their interest to attend so that they can access our new materials and so that we can strengthen our growing community with ongoing activities well after the workshop. The format of this workshop is different from that of others you may have taken. We will meet on-line for four hours each day (11 am – 1 pm and 2-4 pm Eastern) for 3 days and strongly encourage everyone to attend all sessions. Every session is interactive!
