Because Leadership Isn't Linear: Coaching & Mentoring in Higher Education and Academic Medicine, with special guest, Kara Penfield, PhD

For more than 25 years, Kara Penfield has served as a coach to individuals at all levels of leadership. As the Center for Creative Leadership’s (CCL) Coaching Talent Leader for the eastern region of North America, she recruited, trained, led, and learned from a global cadre of hundreds of executive coaches. Kara also helped create an innovative program aimed at developing an organizational culture of coaching and partnered in the program’s delivery for multiple organizations at a global level. Kara possesses a unique ability to tailor coaching and leadership development to the needs of leaders of private and public colleges, universities, and academic medical centers, founded in her years of experience working in higher education administration.

Higher education is perhaps of the most complex, matrixed, and misunderstood of all businesses sectors. From shared governance, to tenure, to student needs, to faculty recruitment and retention, to housing, athletics, town-gown relationships, board interference, leading academics versus administration, fundraising, sponsored research – the list of unique higher education components is relentless. Higher education also remains on the front lines of the political, socio-economic, racial, COVID-19, mental-health, research, and education battles. This group will unpack and explore the myriad of opportunities and challenges of the higher education space and how to effectively coach within it, whether it be with university leaders, administrators, boards, faculty, staff, or students.

The conversation will be led by Fellow, Rob Kramer.
