Abstract
Mentoring and networking go hand-in-hand in making a successful career in any discipline, particularly in science. Both are known to have a very powerful positive impact on the careers at any level. Mentoring can be an equally valuable and rewarding experience for the mentor who seeks to aid others in career advancement as well as the mentee who benefits from this effort. However, as researchers we often have limited exposure to effective mentoring and networking practices and techniques.
Through a series of exercises and role playing scenarios, this workshop provides training in mentoring techniques that are proven to be effective. It also provides guidelines on networking and the different types of networks that are essential for career advancement at all career levels and aspirations.
A COACh Facilitated Workshop
This Workshop will be taught by COACh professional facilitators Geraldine Richmond and Laura Greene. COACh is an organization assisting in the success and impact of women scientists, engineers and researchers.
