Monday, February 10, 12:00pm-1:00pm, On Campus
In an environment where career success is dependent on performance on specific tasks or other external metrics of progress, rather than on internal progress or skill-building, how can we foster a growth mindset in our mentees?
In this session, we will discuss this tension and explore how to build a growth mindset in mentees while recognizing professional realities. In particular, we will practice responding to mentee performance challenges while fostering a growth mindset.
After this session, participants will be better equipped to help mentees grow, develop resilience, and remain positive despite setbacks or challenges in research.
Facilitators: Debra Van Egeren and Amanda Dudek, Postdoc Peer Mentoring Coaches.
Mentoring Lunches are open to postdocs from all disciplines. Lunch will be provided.
