Overview
Whether you’re starting a new job, postdoc, or rotation, there are 4 things to do to assess and position yourself to succeed. Skillful students and postdocs recognize how important it is to assess their environment, strategically find allies, uncover hidden expectations and align their efforts to thrive. In this highly interactive session, we’ll use real-life examples and reflection to explore best practices to evaluate your situation, understand your team dynamics, and formulate a winning strategy that positions you to achieve your goals at UCSF and beyond.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Use frameworks - not just feelings! - to assess all 4 key factors to your success in any new position: self-awareness; your mentor/manager’s goals, skillfulness and work style preferences; your team/colleagues; and the organization
- Consider and modify strategies to help you navigate your unique situation and stay on track with your goals
- Describe (on and off campus) resources to help you succeed
