This interactive session is designed for emerging laboratory leaders who want to strengthen their confidence and learn how to do hard things in both their professional and personal lives. Laura Gary shares how her experiences as a Medical Laboratory Scientist and marathon runner shaped her resilience and belief in her own abilities. She introduces the RUN Mindset Framework (Reflect, Understand, Nurture) to help participants connect what excites them with meaningful leadership behaviors in the laboratory. 

Through storytelling, practical reflection activities, and simple leadership tools, attendees will see how taking one step at a time can build perseverance, improve team culture, and support long-term career growth. Participants will also explore how nurturing their own strengths and purpose can create a positive impact on the people they lead. 

Everyone will leave with clear strategies they can begin using right away, along with a symbolic reminder to help them continue “going the distance” in their leadership journey.
