AOA Fellows in Leadership
AΩA Fellows will spend one year learning about themselves and leadership while experiencing being a leader with educators, coaches, role models, mentors, and liaisons. They will have the opportunity to reflect and learn about:
Leading from within—Creating access to a broader range of ways of being, thinking, and acting to become more effective in dealing with the challenges for which the usual solutions are inadequate. Unlike most existing programs that teach leadership by imparting someone else’s knowledge (a third-person approach), this Fellowship emphasizes creating leaders using a first-person “as-lived/lived-through” methodology.
Servant Leadership—Based on specific core values, ideals, and ethics, effective, sustainable, and excellent leadership is based on core professional and personal values and a commitment to servant leadership through competence, caring, integrity, trust, and trustworthiness.
A home institution project is completed during the fellowship. My project focuses on the development of a program to teach skills used in sports performance psychology to our medical students and their mentors to enhance their ability to perform at peak mental and emotional states during high stress situations.
