AAHSL/NNLM Professional Coaching for Mid-Level Managers Pilot - Apply Today!

The Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) is partnering with Region 1 of the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) to offer a Professional Coaching pilot program for aspiring mid-level managers. 

For over twenty years, the AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program has developed cohorts of future academic health sciences leaders. The AAHSL Future Leadership Committee (FLC) recognized that there are individuals from member institutions who are not ready for director-level leadership positions. As a result, the FLC partnered with the NNLM Region 1 to launch a pilot program that offers early to mid career librarians an opportunity to explore their leadership potential and address areas in need of improvement. These librarians may be interested in pursuing department head or assistant director roles. The ideal applicant is not yet ready for acceptance to the Leadership Fellows Program (LFP), the goal of which is to become a director in the next 3-5 years. 

The program will offer the nine selected applicants up to six one-to-one sessions with a professional coach to work on developing their leadership potential from October 2024-April 2025. Participants are encouraged to engage in an additional five peer-coaching group sessions.
