Thursday’s Breakfast is a chance to discuss Mentoring (and explore opportunities for mentoring)…
It follows the same pattern as the other breakfasts: talk about it if you want to, otherwise just listen
Here are examples of ideas about what Mentors can help with:
Advice and examples if you need…
- to write a grant proposal
- to get known
- to Network at Conferences
-to join a Proposal Review Panel, Journal refereeing
- to invite others to visit and give talks
- to use time effectively
- to learn when and how to say “yes” or “no” to professional tasks
- to make sure you are clear about the scope of something you agree to do, and that you have made clear the level of commitment you can bring
- to take on something new as a chance to let go of something else
- to work with people who seem to be good at getting things done
Remember, you should have different mentors for different activities (teaching, research, etc)
