The ELSE program is for up-and-coming life science and medical device industry scientists and engineers, including those entering industry from academic positions.
You’ve come to the right place if you are currently responsible for executing one or more components of a program or functional area.
Most participants will have staff or team management responsibilities and 0-10 years of supervisory experience.
The program is a smart, four-part approach to leadership development:
One: Understand the Elements
from curated leadership research and practice consolidated from the published works of respected scholars from Harvard Business School, MIT’s Sloan, London School of Business and more.
Two: Make Them Relevant
with Nancy Parenteau’s extraordinary real-world experience leading and managing scientists and engineers to achieve high impact, first-in-class, best-in-class outcomes “ahead of their time.”
Three: Learn What is Needed
throughout the online course, you’ll use work sheets for guided self-assessment to gauge where you are in certain skills and identify skills to add or strengthen.
Four: Develop the Skills
through practice, practice, practice with the support of online discussion, one-on-one talks with Nancy, and, in the future, Mastermind groups as the community of ELSE alums grows.
How long is the program?
Enrollment in the ELSE program lasts 6 weeks during which time you’ll have access to the full online course to complete at your own pace.
We have factored in time to pause and think, revisit, self-assess, and start practicing, all of which is highly encouraged!
Who is the instructor?
Dr. Nancy Parenteau, co-founder and managing Member of Parenteau BioConsultants, is the creator of the ELSE program and your guide and mentor in the program.
Nancy is a ground-breaking leader in bioscience having been the principal scientist and leader behind the first FDA-approved living cell therapy in the late 1990s. Remarkably, it remains best-in-class after nearly 25 years on the market.
Internationally recognized, she was instrumental in establishing a new field of science and engineering and has worked as an advisor to R&D managers and leaders since 2005 while continuing her interest in advancing the translation of science by co-founding two biotech start-ups.
Nancy has had the pleasure of working with and learning from many up-and-coming scientists and engineers who have gone on to make their own mark in industry.
The program combines her wise insights in building, supporting, and retaining a world-class team of scientists and engineers with the best principles and practices from some of the most accomplished experts in leadership and management.
Will I have access to Dr. Parenteau during the program?
Nancy will moderate and contribute to in-platform discussions. However, you’re encouraged to consider the mentoring option (see below), which includes three, one-hour private sessions during the program. It is a great opportunity to get Nancy’s advice at a fraction of her client consulting fees.
There are two levels to choose from:
The ELSE program begins May 1, 2023. You may enroll at any time.
The mentoring option is subject to Nancy’s availability.
After May 1, there will be a rolling monthly enrollment period to start the program the first of the following month.
