This interactive workshop will help participants build practical skills for navigating mentorship relationships that involve disability, accommodation needs, and performance considerations. 

Through a brief lecture and two real-world case studies, attendees will explore how to balance confidentiality, advocacy, and accountability while maintaining clear expectations and supportive relationships. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of adaptive mentorship and have concrete strategies for responding to complex situations in ways that center both fairness and inclusion.

Facilitators: Chelse Spinner and Debra Van Egeren, Postdoc Peer Mentoring Coaches. 

Mentoring Lunches are open to postdocs from all disciplines. Lunch will be provided.
