In today’s fast-paced world where globalisation, climate change and infectious diseases create high complexity and uncertainty, steadfast leadership is more crucial than ever. In this context, future-oriented leaders need to give direction and clarity, build trust and act as a coach for their teams to drive growth and provide stability at the same time. 

“Lead with Impact” is an immersive leadership development course designed by Trivium - global experts in participatory leadership, team development and experiential learning.

This training empowers healthcare and scientific professionals to cultivate inclusive team cultures, lead with emotional intelligence, and drive performance in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Participants will engage in hands-on sessions, strategic simulations, and co-creation exercises designed to build resilience, decision-making skills, and trust within teams.

Whether you’re leading a lab, a hospital department, a research group, or a public health initiative, this course will help you transform your leadership approach and elevate your impact.

Intended audience:

  • Mid-career infectious disease specialists, clinical microbiologists, public health professionals, and research leaders
  • Team leads or department heads with at least 5 years of leadership experience
  • Professionals working in cross-cultural, multi-generational, or interdisciplinary teams within healthcare, academia, or public health systems
