There is a rising interest in leadership, mentorship, and personal growth across the health sector. Evidence-based strategies can help us move beyond navigating our careers to take control over our influence, advancement, and overall trajectory. This session (in English) will help participants reflect on what matters, define their goals, and create a framework to navigate their career.
Speaker biography – Laura Desveaux
Laura is an implementation scientist and a former recipient of the DAC Mentorship Award. Her work draws on behavioural psychology and implementation science to conduct policy-oriented evaluations of complex health interventions that aim to optimize care. To understand what makes an initiative successful and how to scale it, her team examines how and why things work, or the process and mechanisms of change and the contextual factors that characterize success (and failure). She is passionate about bridging the evidence to practice gap not only in healthcare, but in individual and collective performance improvement and professional development. Laura is also the founder and Executive Director of Women Who Lead: https://women-who-lead.com/ an organization dedicated to support the career advancement and leadership development of women in the health sector.
