Consulting, workshops & keynote addresses to improve:
mentor-mentee relationships…resilience and well-being…career and professional development…leadership and management in research environments.
Institutional Development
Good training begets good science. I work with institutions to design training and mentoring programs that value diversity, nurture talent, foster community, and take a holistic approach.
Personal and professional growth
We all have strengths to cultivate and gaps to fill or work around. I offer workshops on many topics including time management, procrastination, networking, imposter fears, difficult conversations, collaborative science, and effective communication.
Research group culture
Good science happens in healthy environments where students feel safe to explore and learn. I offer workshops to help mentors balance accountability and productivity with effective mentoring, psychological safety, healthy boundaries, and a focus on inclusion.
Resilience & Well-being
To do well, we have to be well. My workshops include time for self-reflection and offer insights into stress management, burn-out, resilience and mindsets for success in academic and research environments.
Leadership & Management
Successful scientists must work collaboratively on complex teams in rapidly changing environments. I use case-based approaches to help individuals and groups explore models of effective leadership and management for fellows and PIs.
Career decision-making
There is no such thing as an alternative career. My career development workshops include substantial self-reflection, audience engagement and resources for later use. I offer frameworks for exploring strengths, gaps, and options through a broad and inclusive lens.
