Beyond the Bench: Leadership Academy

Join the waiting list now for first access to our new course, designed specifically for Biotech scientists to develop their management and leadership skills.

Becoming an outstanding leader is hard, and in the fast-moving world of Biotech, you get little support.

Great leadership, though, transforms companies. To help you on your journey to unlocking the outstanding leader within, we've developed a course specifically designed for Biotech scientists, helping you to move beyond the bench to impact your organisation and the world more broadly.

We'll be opening registration for the course in December, with the first sessions in January. We can only take a small number of people on this initial cohort, so if you'd like to be the first to know when details become available, sign up for the waiting list here.

When you do, you'll also get access to our exclusive private LinkedIn group, where you'll meet others on the same leadership journey and discover insights even before the course begins.
