Women in Leadership

ASPIRE

Advocate | Succeed | Persevere | Inspire | Resilience | Equity

The past year has been anything but normal. We persevered by leading through challenges, choices, and changes. Inspired to advocate for those in need, we elevated resilience and equity to the forefront. Success became achievable through community connections and collaborations.

With a lens toward the future, the 4th Women in Leadership Symposium aspires to recognize your authentic leadership strengths as a foundation for success.  We will explore your strengths and identify strategies to build strong teams to meet a constantly evolving landscape for communities of practice. Voices from simulation leaders will engage us in dialogue to reflect on our strengths as we lead from where we sit.

Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of the Women in Leadership Symposium, you will be able to:

  1. Identify and reflect your Top 5 leadership strengths and opportunities for growth.
  2. Utilize your strengths in an interactive session
  3. Commit to making an impact in your community of practice
  4. Apply three lessons learned during this symposium
  5. Explore diversification of strengths to maximize the diversity within your team

Women in Leadership Symposium Background: 

The purpose of this initiative is to bring together curious and aspiring, new, and experienced leaders in healthcare simulation. The challenges and opportunities for female healthcare simulation professionals include the development of leadership skills in all professional sectors (clinicians of all stripes, operations specialists, engineers, educators, administrators, and industry) in environments that often lack built-in resources and networks in their professional development. 

History of the WIL Symposium: 

The inaugural WIL Symposium was held in NYC in 2018, and the keynote speaker was Jillann Farmer, MD, who is the medical director for the United Nations. The 2nd annual meeting was held in 2019 in Dallas, and the keynote speaker was Kim Siniscalchi, RN, who is a retired Major General and former Assistant Surgeon General.  Each of these symposia has been an interactive day of personal and professional development, vigorous discussion, relationship-building, and yes, leveraging the power of experiential learning with simulation. An added success has been that the symposium is now a collaborative partnership between 3 major North American simulation societies, ASPE, INACSL, and SSH, (abbreviations for brevity). The conference is open to any and all with an interest in community and uplifting women in leadership.
