Upcoming Personal Development Workshops!

Personal development programs help you develop self-awareness, learn new strategies (time management, negotiation), engage others (mentors, networks), and overcome challenges (impostor syndrome, perfectionism, conflict resolution).
 
Getting the Most from Your Reading
Tuesday, April 14th - 10:00-11:00am (online)
A lot of your time is spent reading. Is your reading productive? Learn to read quickly and effectively. Keep track of your reading and keep up with your ever-expanding field. We’ll share tips from the pros and talk about software that makes it easier to keep up and stay organized.
 
Adopting a Growth Mindset
Wednesday, April 22nd - 2:30-3:30pm (online)
Do you take failure hard? We all do, but the most successful scholars view failure as an opportunity. Learn how to grow from setbacks by adopting a growth mindset. While a fixed mindset tells us that we cannot improve, a growth mindset makes failure easier to bear and sets us up for success.
 
Feedback: What Am I Supposed to do With This?
Tuesday, April 28th - 10:00-11:00am (online)
Do you enjoy feedback and criticism? Probably not, but a huge part of graduate and postdoctoral training is accepting and learning from feedback. This session will help you shift from a defensive position to a growth mindset and develop strategies to manage the anxiety associated with good, bad, and even just plain wrong feedback.
