Virtual Lunch & Learn: Leadership R&D: How to Lead Yourself & Your Team Through...Well, Anything

Wed Dec 17, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PST Online, Zoom

Being 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.

Speaker:
Josh Ellison
Executive Coach, Leader Circles

Josh Ellison's expertise comes from two key roles: being an executive and being a coach. This dual insight is his superpower, giving him a rare view into the practice of Leadership R&D (Resilience and Determination). As an executive, he lived the daily grind leaders face, experiencing firsthand the resilience required to navigate the isolating challenges of leadership. As a business coach for over a decade, he's partnered with hundreds of high-performers, supporting their development—and their determination—to align their teams and drive company strategy. Having founded and successfully run several companies himself (along with an MBA in New Venture Creation & Management), he’s lived the very journey he now guides others on. He built Leader Circles to be the ultimate support system for leaders and managers.
