In this engaging Medical Grand Rounds keynote titled, “A Fresh Take on Leadership in the Age of the Quick-Fix,” CCL researcher Marcia Dawkins offers a new perspective on the concept of fortitude, exploring mindsets and leadership strategies from underestimated leaders and unexpected places.
Drawing on 20+ years of communication research on identity, metaphor, and strategy, Dr. Dawkins offers a kaleidoscope of well-researched narratives that help participants reframe their experiences and combat burnout — especially in healthcare environments. Equally grounded in social science and social life, Dr. Dawkins encourages active participation with “guess who sang this” games, opportunities for reflection, a prescriptive playlist, and a dedicated Q&A session. She pursues a meaningful and interactive experience, inviting participants to expand their perspectives and networks so they can actually leave with what they need — less to do.
